Best in Baltimore

The verdict is in, 13.5% is the Best Wine Bar in from Baltimore Magazine:

"Wine Bar When 13.5% Wine Bar 1117 W. 36th Street, 410-889-1064, arrived in Hampden last summer, the storefront wasted no time proclaiming itself, "Hip in Hampden" It was an immediate success, packing in yuppies, oldsters, and an arty crowd with its 40 wines by the glass (starting at $5), 200 wines by the bottle (with an $8 corkage fee), an an ever-changing menu of snacks, panini, pizzas, and small plates. Sip your vino with a charcuterie plate of cured meats, duck rillette, whole-grain mustard, and cornichons, or a cibbatta layered with portobellos, roasted peppers, arugula, and balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Or come on Sundays, when chef Sarah Acconcia does a divine prix-fixe menu based on goodies she found at the Farmers' Market. "
