Emsphere was a big moment for the drinking and dining scene (and traffic), and now they’ve got a new wine bar that’s serving up great bottles in a way that ups the venu’s style factor. 1010 Wine Bar brings 50 bottles and food from Sardinian chef Andrea Ortu to the giant mall and dining space. 

 

If you’re sitting there wondering if you should call it one-oh-one-oh or ten-ten, you’re wrong on both accounts. It’s meant to be said in Thai, as in a wink-wink to “sip-sip.” 

 

Found on the 5th floor of Emsphere, the space is chic but somewhat casual—complete with intimate dining areas, an outdoor area for DJ sets, and a private dining area. 

This new spot comes with the expertise of sommelier Maliwan Gallerne, and the whole vibe is to make loving wine accessible, sold of course by the glass and the bottle. Sparkling starts at B290 per glass of Veuve Olivier, Brut Vin Mousseux, and you can finish off a bottle of whites at B1,510 and reds at B1,710.

If cocktails are more your thing, there are half a dozen signature cocktails at this spot to go along with the classics. The signature Duchessa (B480) is a sweet rum forward drink with Frangelico, lemon, aloe vera, and apple cider with tiramisu syrup and soy milk, topped with a cracker and a splash of Bottega Prosecco. 

In the kitchen, Sardinian chef Andrea Ortu serves up Italian fare. You can order some small, quick bar food with their fried olives (B290), made with stuffed Cerignola olives and beef mince, or something more indulgent like the spaghetti lobster (B1,990) that comes with a Canadian lobster bisque and cherry tomatoes.
