Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Flo’s Wine Bar and Bottle Shop runs a beverage program that stretches well beyond its name. The wine list moves through sparkling, rosé and skin contact, white, and red sections with global representation and by-the-glass prices from 13 to 23. Beer and cider include drafts from Holdout, Live Oak, and Fairweather, while the Zero Proof section covers hop water, non-alcoholic beer, spritz, negroni, and wine. Happy hour discounts wine by the glass.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cleto Charli Brut Rosé, a Lambrusco and Pinot Noir blend from Emilia-Romagna at 14 by the glass. For a white, the Mendes & Symington Alvarinho and Avesso from Vinho Verde is 13 by the glass. If you're drinking low-proof, the St Ag Restis Phony Negroni is 15.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups who want a broad wine list with by-the-glass and bottle options, beer drinkers who appreciate local drafts, and anyone seeking a serious non-alcoholic section with more than soda water.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour for discounted wine by the glass. For bottle shoppers, the half-off promotion on bottles to go is worth noting.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine by the glass runs 13 to 23; bottles 40 to 214. Draft beer is 8 to 9; bottles and cans 3 to 7. Zero proof items are 5 to 15; non-alcoholic wine 12 to 62; soft drinks 3 to 4.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A wine bar that treats beer, cider, and zero-proof drinks with the same menu space as wine. The Zero Proof section is unusually broad, with hop water, non-alcoholic kolsch and hazy IPA, a spritz, a negroni, and two non-alcoholic wines.
