A state-of-the-art storage system means Stone Balloon Winehouse can uncork anything it likes at any time without fear of half-drunk bottles going to waste. For you, that means it offers more than typically pedestrian house whites and reds by the glass. Enjoy one while peering into the glass-fronted bottle cellar upstairs. Impressive. 115 E. Main St., Newark, 266-8111, stoneballoonwh.com
