I've walked by Vinoteca (corner of 11th and U) many times and finally got a chance to try it. It's a wine bar, but I needed a break from all of the holiday cocktail rounds, so I only ordered food. It's mostly "petit plats" and tastings of cheeses and charcuterie. My dining companion and I ordered several small plates so I got to try a lot of different things, the manchego cheese was a little dry but other than that I loved everything. I have to say, although it sounds strange, go with the beer and cheese soup if it is on the menu because it is absolutely divine. The salami was also delicious, I had a great crisp salad and the salmon "carpaccio" was good, although the portion turned out rather small. Our waitress was quite friendly and recommended good choices, and the ambiance was nice. We were there somewhat earlier for dinner and the bar was pretty crowded with happy hour folks ordering wines and small appetizers. I would definitely recommend Vinoteco to anyone looking for an interesting meal and (I assume) great glass of wine!
