Balzac, 1716 N. Arlington Place, is a fine dining and drinking experience. The knowledgeable staff seems unfailingly happy to see you, and is helpful in offering suggestions for wine or menu items. And, once again, OnMilwaukee.com readers say Balzac has the city's best wine list.

That's certainly due to its vast, five-page wine list offering selections from the new world and the old.

Wine is served in stemless Riedel crystal, an indication that someone in the joint knows how to treat wine, and the menu offers low-priced "tastes" in case you can't make up your mind.

The bar also offers a wide range of bottled beers, draughts and martinis.

Meanwhile, the OnMilwaukee.com editorial staff selected the astonishingly deep and wide wine list at Bartolotta's Bacchus, in the Cudahy Towers, as its pick.
