Location Location Location. I almost felt like I was back in Europe sitting outside at Cheuvront ... right along Central and watching the lightrail whiz by, people walking along the sidewalks and the overall hustle of 'city' life. The inside, however, lacked a certain intimacy that I like to see in wine bars. It is quite casual and airy... not cozy with low lighting like I was expecting/hoping for.
It was quite busy for an early evening (probably because their happy hour is great and otherwise its a bit pricey). The parking lot was full so I gambled with potentially being towed and parked along a side street a few blocks down.
The waiters were excellent at recommending different wines and letting us sample a few before deciding. I settled on Santa Ema Merlot, which was really fantastic! You could spend hours pouring over the varied cheeses and wines Cheuvront offers (even have a special retail section inside devoted to cheese and wine).
Besides the great atmosphere outside, there are other wine bars that I would prefer to go to (5th and Wine, Rokerij, Bomberos). However, if you are in cenpho and looking for a good glass of wine it is definitely worth stopping by.
