| - My dad and I stopped by here on a whim a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is nice, super unpretentious and very chill vibe. Cozy couches and intimate. The employees were playing DJ and the music ranged from some great classic rock to early 90's hiphop. I think it would be a nice place for a date, as you could actually hear each other and get close. Both employees working were very helpful, had a sense of humor, and seemed happy to be there even though the place was somewhat empty.
We were in on a Thursday, got in at about 6/630 and stayed until almost 9. They were in no rush to get us out the door either. While they do offer flights on Thursdays (4 tastings for $18), we opted to choose our own bottle from their huge selection. For a $5 corking fee, you can pick any of their wines to purchase and enjoy there. Our waitress helped us select a very good Italian blend that didn't break the bank and was just what we were looking for.
As for food, well, don't expect much. There is only one option to purchase, a meat and cheese plate (which was quite tasty), and then a small bar snack which they bring out (ours happened to be popcorn). That's it. You come here for wine and conversation, not a meal. It's a place that you could start or end a night, or hell, do as we did and just make the wine your meal.
We really enjoyed our time here and hope that this places makes it. The staff were great, wine selection seemed really well rounded (in terms of both selection and price range), and just the overall vibe is something that is missing in Phoenix. I look forward to returning and trying out a few other bottles.
