The editorial take
M WINEHOUSE centers on an internationally curated wine list with broad glass and bottle pricing, plus flights and weekly discounts. The Owner's Choice picks, like Edge Cabernet Sauvignon and Handley Chardonnay, anchor the program. Bottled beers add range, while Red Sangria represents the cocktail side.
- What should I order?
- Start with a wine flight at $17 for three tastings to sample the range. For a full pour, the Owner's Choice Edge Cabernet Sauvignon ($20 glass / $78 bottle) delivers peppery, tobacco, and vanilla notes. On Wednesdays, bottles are 30% off, making the Banfi Brunello Demi ($89 bottle) a stronger value. Friday's 30% off rosé and bubbly suits the House Prosecco ($11 glass).
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers looking for variety and value will find the extensive list and weekly promotions appealing. Those who prefer a focused, small selection may find the breadth less important than the Owner's Choice highlights. Beer enthusiasts can explore craft and Belgian bottles, though the nonalcoholic options are limited to a few standards.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
