Sticks & Stones — A Terroir Bar by Justin Leone

Canadian sommelier and best-selling author Justin Leone moved to Munich in 2011 and quietly built what World of Fine Wine named the World's Best Wine Bar in 2025. The trick is Coravin technology — over 900 bottles open at any moment, served in 0.1 litre pours, perfectly preserved and tempered, from regions and vintages that no by-the-glass programme on earth comes close to. A Schwabing courtyard space, low-key lighting, music selected by a working musician (Justin himself), and a list that reads like a graduate seminar in terroir. You can taste a Burgundy grand cru, an Austrian Riesling and a small-grower Champagne for the price of one bottle elsewhere. Reservations strongly advised — the room is small, the cult is large.
