Master Critic Review

7.6
A hybrid retail wine shop and tasting bar that works as a low-key “fine night” when you want curated pours and small bites without a full restaurant commitment. The move is simple: pick a tasting flight or a glass, pair it with a cheese-and-charcuterie plate, then grab a bottle for later.
