this place appeals to people who say things like ""ubergroovytastey.""\r
the wine list is lacking, the decor predictable and boring, the music too loud, and often just bad.\r
AND! And this is a serious concern-- no stemware! They charge 12 bucks for a glass of wine served in a juice glass! I get the whole ""wine isn't just for the eilte"" thing, as though glasses with stems are snobbish. That's fine and good-- provided the PRICE of the wine reflects such a philosophy. Besides, stems aren's snobbish-- they do , in fact, serve a function-- something the owner of a wine bar ought to realize and value more than A) ""sleek"" and modern glass design and B) some half-baked notion about ""wine for the commoner.""\r
Oh. And many of the other patrons are just annoying to be near.\r
