The editorial take
The wine list carries this program: sparkling, white, rosé, red, dessert wines, and ports by the glass and bottle, nine themed flights plus a Just Dessert flight, and a Coravin section pouring high-end wines by the glass. Nine specialty cocktails, several built on Colorado spirits, run $13–$15, with house-made sangria at $8. Three drafts and six packaged beers include Colorado breweries, and non-alcoholic drinkers get beers, wines, and a monthly rotating cocktail.
- What should I order?
- Start with a themed wine flight, $13–$17, to compare styles before committing to a glass. The Coravin list, $29–$40, pours high-end wines by the glass, including 8 Years in the Desert and E. Guigal Chateauneuf du Pape. Among cocktails, the Staten Island mixes Wood Creek Rye with Averna, orange bitters, and Bordeaux cherries at $15.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want to compare several wines in one sitting without buying bottles, and guests who want a serious by-the-glass option alongside a straightforward cocktail or a Colorado draft. Non-alcoholic drinkers get real choices rather than a token pour.

- Happy hour brings house wine, wells, and house-made sangria to $6, draft beer down $1, and the Just Peachy Refreshing Bubbly to $7. The venue also hosts monthly wine tastings, wine dinners, or special events.
