The editorial take
Annata Wine Bar & Cellar pairs a retail shop with a bar, pouring sparkling, white, rosé, and red by the glass or bottle. Six prosecco-based cocktails, including a Hugo Spritz and Negroni Sbagliato, anchor the Bubbly Cocktails list. Beer runs to ten named cans and bottles plus rotating draft. A $5 nonalcoholic spritz is the lone zero-proof option. Flights, carafes, and a $5 corkage fee give the list unusual flexibility for sampling.
- What should I order?
- Start with the NV Jeio Prosecco D.O.C. Or the NV Codorniu 'Anna' Brut Rose Cava, both $9 a glass. For a broader survey, build a three-wine flight from the by-the-glass list, or ask about carafe service on any bottle. The Hugo Spritz, made with St. Germaine, lime, and prosecco, is a reliable $12 cocktail order.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants to compare wines by the glass or bottle without committing to a full bottle, and beer drinkers who appreciate a Rhinegiest-heavy local selection alongside a short prosecco cocktail list.
- When should I go?
- Wednesday for $5 beers, Thursday for $2 off spritz cocktails, Friday for the $20 Featured Flight Night, or Saturday for $5 orphan bottle pours.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Glass pours run $9–$13 for 6oz and $15–$18 for 9oz; bottles are $17.99–$26.99, with a $5 corkage fee. Cocktails are $12, the Mimosa $9, beers $7, and the nonalcoholic spritz $5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combined wine bar and shop format lets you drink from the same list you can buy from, with a $5 corkage fee and carafe service on request. The Bubbly Cocktails section is entirely prosecco-based, and the beer list leans heavily on Rhinegiest alongside other Ohio and national names.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Cocktails
A tight, prosecco-only cocktail list: six named Bubbly Cocktails, from a straightforward Mimosa to a Negroni Sbagliato. The section is consistent and fairly priced at $12, with a Thursday $2-off special. It is not a broad cocktail program, but it is a focused one.

Wine
The core of the venue: sparkling, white, rosé, and red by the glass and bottle, with a three-wine flight, carafe service, and a $5 corkage fee. Eight named pours span Italy, Spain, France, and the US, and bottles stay under $27. The list is broad enough to make choosing genuinely difficult.

Nonalcoholic
One dedicated zero-proof option: an N/A Spritz at $5 with rotating flavors on a club soda or lemon-lime soda base. It is a single, low-priced choice rather than a full nonalcoholic program, but it is clearly listed and inexpensive.
Menu strengths
- — Menu lists N/A Spritz at $5 with rotating flavors, club soda or lemon-lime soda base.
Standout selections
- — N/A Spritz — $5 — Rotating flavors; club soda or lemon-lime soda base
