The Scene
Nestled into a turn-of-the-century building, this unassuming spot feels worlds away from its bustling downtown location. Vintage accoutrements, such as wood floors and vaulted ceilings, couple with vintage vinos set in rustic wooden crates. Personable, knowledgeable service sets neophytes at ease.
The Goods
With a worldly wine selection brimming with as much character as its backdrop, selections hover between rock-bottom bargains (i.e. dry finish Domaine Caton cab for a staggering $4.99) and collector's quality. Unlike the pricey boutique wine shops in the area, this is a great place to get a few customer-specific pointers on what to serve with, say, spicy lobster fettuccine without breaking the bank.
