I've always thought MWC had a great visual atmosphere, the colors and the artwork were great, but I never really connected to the place and their wine list was not interesting until now...
New owners took over November '11 and the vibe has changed for the better. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Its the kind of place you can go to alone and make immediate friends with the other customers and the staff. The wine list has greatly improved and since they brought in a new chef (Sarah) the food is absolutely mouth watering.
They have a great happy hour on food and wine and their regular Saturday tastings are a great way to find new and different wines. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they serve, which helps make a great wine bar.
Fantastic patio with live music on the weekends - this is the perfect spot for a group of friends or date night.
I'm starting to become a regular and I don't even live close by.
