The places to sit down with friends and enjoy a few glasses of wine at an affordable price is limited in N. Phoenix. Although this place is a little on the cozy side; the staff and wine selection is very good. If you are in need of food, they do offer some small cheese plates but beyond that you'll want to plan ahead and eat before or after.
Some nights they have live music too so that is just another perk. I'm on their email list and they regularly offer wine dinners if that is something you enjoy. It's worth a visit for wine lovers and for wine newbies... the staff will help you find a good wine if you need it. Oh yea, check the website because they have wine tastings regularly too.
