Neil Perry's favorite places for a snack and a glass of wine:
Bambini Wine Room & Bar
Perry favors the oysters and salt-cod brandade. The wine list has a strong Australian selection and a variety of international wines, featuring producers such as Pieropan and Ramonet. 185 Elizabeth St., Sydney; 011-61-2-9283-7098.
Bodega
For tapas that Perry calls "rock and roll–good," plus Spanish and South American wines. 216 Commonwealth St., Surry Hills; 011-61-2-9212-7766.
Fish Face Restaurant and Sushi Bar
"Gotta love the fish-and-chips with a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc," Perry says. 132 Darlinghurst Rd., Darlinghurst; 011-61-2-9332-4803.
Rockpool
Perry's own Asian-Med menu is heavy on seafood; the extensive wine list has an impressive selection of older vintages, plus three house wines by Jeffrey Grosset: Chardonnay, Riesling and Cabernet. A renovation due to finish this month will add a raw bar. 107 George St., The Rocks; 011-61-2-9252-1888.
