The editorial take
Book + Bottle pairs a bookstore with a full-service wine bar and a boutique bottle shop focused on small-production, diverse winemakers and sustainable wines from around the world. The rotating by-the-glass list runs about 20 options, and any bottle from the shop can be shared on-premise for a $10 service fee. Two sommeliers are on staff with more in training. The 17 Club monthly membership, with over a hundred local members, offers curated selections or a wine credit, plus special orders, tastings, and private events.
- What should I order?
