The votes are in and the winners have been selected for OnMilwaukee's Best: Eat & Drink, 2007. The results of this readers' poll, including an editors' pick, are available in this series of articles that run all month long in the Bars and Clubs section of OnMilwaukee.com.

Once again, OnMilwaukee.com readers have voted Pizza Man, 1800 E. North Ave. as the winner of Milwaukee's best wine list. To be sure, the East Side pizzeria boasts a huge list, but the topic was "best" not "biggest," and we wonder what real wine connoisseurs would say when comparing Pizza Man to other local restaurants with dedicated sommeliers. That said, you can't go wrong ordering vino at the restaurant with Milwaukee's most phallic outdoor sign. And just as Pizza Man won the readers' choice for best Milwaukee pizza, nothing goes better with a great pie than a great glass of wine.

For our favorite, we chose the quiet, refined Balzac, 1716 N. Arlington Pl. Small-plate dining at its best, the staff is extremely knowledgeable in wine pairings, offering among the city's best selection in reds and whites, alike.

2. Balzac
3. Bacchus
4. Trocadero
