Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Wine
A self-serve wall with 24 wines, a wine club, and frequent tastings make for an interactive and educational program. The variety and engagement are strong, though the lack of a detailed list and some pricing gaps temper the score.

- — Self-serve format with 24 wines encourages exploration without committing to a full glass.
- — Regular tastings (Bordeaux, Spanish) at accessible prices with 20% off bottles.

Beer
Six local beers on tap provide a modest but reliable craft option. Happy hour pricing is attractive, though the limited selection and lack of specific styles keep the program from standing out.

Pricing: Draft beer $5 during happy hour.
How it sits with the food
The Bottles & Bruschetta special suggests a deliberate pairing of wine with simple, rustic food. The regular wine tastings, such as Bordeaux and Spanish, likely include guidance on food matches, though specific pairings are not detailed.
