Your votes are in, Milwaukee, and you have selected the winners of OnMilwaukee's Best Dining 2011. We're announcing the results of this readers' poll, including our editors' pick, in a series of articles that run all October long during Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com.

For the fifth straight year, October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com, presented by Concordia University. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, delectable features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food, as well as the winners of our "Best of Dining 2011."

Balzac, 1716 N. Arlington Pl., is a fine dining experience. The knowledgeable staff seems unfailingly happy to see you, and is helpful in offering suggestions for wine or menu items. And, once again, OnMilwaukee.com readers say Balzac has the city's best wine list.

That's certainly due to its vast, five-page wine list offering selections from the new world and the old.

Wine is served in stemless Riedel crystal, an indication that someone in the joint knows how to treat wine, and the menu offers low-priced "tastes" in case you can't make up your mind.

The bar also offers a wide range of bottled beers, draughts and martinis.

Meanwhile, the OnMilwaukee.com editorial staff selected the astonishingly deep and wide wine list at Bartolotta's Bacchus, in the Cudahy Towers, as its pick.
