Clip and Sip Fashion co-ops, fabled tequila bars, Italian imports -is this as good as NoLitopia gets? As if. A new highlight has been added to an old standard: Tricia's Place stylist Patricia Kirkland and husband Jean-Baptiste have annexed the space next door and turned the operation into Wine Therapy & Tricia's Place. It's part salon, part wine shop, and (as befits the Neighborhood That Can't Leave Well Enough Alone) part furniture store. (Why not?)

Patricia handles the hair and the mostly Danish mod furnishing; JB handles the spirits (including up-and-coming wines from Leanon, the alcoholic equivalent of Tobagan designers). Your job: Sink into your seat, sip your glass of bubbly, and enjoy the easy conversation. (Should you hate your new bangs, we suggest double-fisting.) If you're not in it for the hair, pop in for a mid-afternoon toast. (Mid-century Arne Vodder chairs make great barstools.) roll by on Wednesdays and Saturdays for tastings. Nair, booze, design: Talk about the ultimate Elizabeth Street trinity.

NoLita Providing "just the sort of therapy NYers should have", this NoLita vintner-in-miniature is run by a couple who spun it off from the adjacent hair salon, using their "wine smarts" to showcase boutique labels from small European vineyards; given its "stron nose" for style, those who attend the Saturday tastings should be in fashionable company.

Wine's New Address is Far From Stodgy The Pour Eric Asimov In NoLita, Wine Therapy pokes out from among the rows of idiosyncratic little shops, offering a nice global selection of little-known wines.

The New York Post
A focus on small, non-commercial producers from overlooked countries is the hook at the newly opened Wine Therapy, owned by Jean-Baptiste Humbery and his wife (and hairdresser) Patricia Kirkland. (Her hair salon, Tricia's Place, is just next door if you ned a cut and color.) This red, white and blue space is lit with vintage fixtures and decked out with chrome wine racks imported from France. They stock with about 200 wines from around the world, with emphasis on small producers from countries like Lebanon, Greece and Chile, from $8.99 to $49.99. Vintage Crop Boutique wine shops give reasons to cheer.
