  • I always like to preface these with my weaknesses...I'm in no way a wine aficionado. But I know what I like. And I know that I loved Backstreet Wine Salon. We wanted to go somewhere different for dinner on a Friday night. It ended up being a late night cause of work and so we decided to give Backstreet a try. We called ahead to make sure we wouldn't be keeping them, they assured us it was fine and to come in. When we got there, we were super confused, eventually we found the spot tucked behind the mega strip mall in the back with a cute gated entryway. In fact, pulling up it was so much nicer than the typical strip mall, ambience, phoenician style I've become accustomed to, I was kinda worried I wasn't dressed well enough. But we decided to pop in and check it out. The place was adorable. Definitely set up like a home/parlor. The art inside was exquisite and fairly varied. I liked that they stuck with a victorian theme while incorporating some really modern elements. It's not quite victorian, european, or classic, but it's not quite not either. Worth checking out. We split a bottle of Riesling that was biodynamic (this was the first I had heard of such a thing in wine...apparently it's a certification for hyper-organic...that's ironic right?...wine). It was good, not entirely pricey, not dirt cheap either. Then we each had their mixed green salad with shrimp curry on top which I thought was excellent. Followed by the duck entree that we split. The duck was great. The sides were ok. But overall it was a great meal. It was super quiet for a late Friday night, but I loved the feel of this place. The owner came over and checked on us and explained the biodynamic wine situation to us, and just generally tried to make us feel at home, even though we were there up until (and probably through) their closing time. I think this is probably a really under-utilized spot in Phoenix. I'm sure that plenty of wine snobs or food snobs or someone in that pretentious genre would turn those nose up at something, cause that's what they do...but for the rest of you, based on what I experienced there, I'd definitely recommend Backstreet.
