Cova Hand Selected Wines   

As one of only 130 Certified Wine Educators in the world, Cova's proprietor, Monsterville Horton, IV, is a local legend in Houston oenophile circles. That fact helps make Cova a standout in the spate of recent wine bar openings around town. Choose a bottle from more than 1200 wine selections, then take it home, pop it open and enjoy it on the patio, or just try a glass or two at the bar. If you stop in after 5PM, try to grab a table and order any of the outrageously good tapas from the inventive menu. The bar periodically offers special dinners, classes, and musical events - and always plays host to a smart, trendy clientele.
