The Wine Spot may be one of my favorite things about moving to the East Side. The space is so modern and nicely organized and the staff has always been very helpful.
I love the wine tastings that they host a few times a week - the current ones are a "Best Of" series for each wine varietal. We missed the merlot last week, but the zinfandel was fun and featured wines in lots of price points. For $10, it is rare to get to taste wine of this quality at restaurants or in wine flights - so I think the price is definitely worth it. The port wine tasting was really, really amazing.
Aside from having lots of fun regions of wine (lots of Chilean, Spanish, etc) that you may not find at other places, I love that they carry hard-to-find vermouth, amaro and apertifs for cocktails. I picked up some Salers Apertif and Byrrh that I have been looking for everywhere in one stop - so cool!
