Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Oven+Vine runs a beverage program that reaches well past the usual wine-bar script. Nine wines by the glass and bottle span Italy, the USA, Argentina, California, New Zealand, and Chile, priced $12–$15 a glass and $44–$58 a bottle. Twelve cocktails are all $14, from a mezcal Manhattan to an Aperol Spritz. Eleven drafts lean on local Arizona breweries. A seasonal mocktail and three non-alcoholic beers round out the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the DJ Boomer Mezcal Manhattan if you want smoke and spirit-forward weight, or the Spicy Paloma for habanero heat and sparkling grapefruit. On the wine side, the Prosecco at $13 a glass is the crisp, low-commitment opener. Ask what is pouring from the rotating seasonal taps before settling on a draft.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups splitting a table will find something for every drinker here, from a local hazy IPA to a glass of Argentine Malbec. Anyone avoiding alcohol gets a real choice rather than a consolation soda. Wine drinkers who want a compact, internationally sourced by-the-glass list will be satisfied; those hunting rare bottles will not.
- When should I go?
- A good fit for an early-evening glass before dinner or a casual round with a wood-fired meal, when the full spread of wine, cocktails, and drafts is most useful to a mixed group.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are uniformly $14. Wine by the glass runs $12–$15, with bottles $44–$58. Draft beers are $7–$8, non-alcoholic beers $6, and the seasonal mocktail $12. The pricing is consistent and clearly published across the drinks page.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The nonalcoholic list is the differentiator: a seasonal O+V Mocktail plus Stella Artois 0.0, Guinness 0.0, and Deschutes Black Butte NA, all at $6, sit alongside a full bar rather than being tacked on. Local Arizona breweries including Shop Beer Co., Wren House, and Fate Brewing are named across several taps.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Cocktails
Twelve named cocktails at a flat $14, split between spirit-forward classics and fruit-forward drinks. Manhattans, a Boulevardier, an Old Fashioned, and a Negroni cover the stirred side; a Spicy Paloma, Margarita, and Aperol Spritz cover the lighter, fruitier end.
Menu strengths
- — Twelve named cocktails with a uniform $14 price, clearly published on the drinks page.
- — The list spans spirit-forward classics and fruit-forward drinks rather than committing to one register.
Standout selections
- — DJ Boomer Mezcal Manhattan — mezcal, Lillet, and Luxardo; smoky and spirit-forward at $14.
- — Spicy Paloma — Fiero habanero tequila with sparkling grapefruit; sweet and spicy at $14.
Pricing: $14 each
Wine
A nine-wine Vino section offered by the glass and bottle, drawing from Italy, the USA, Argentina, California, New Zealand, and Chile. Styles run from Prosecco and Moscato through Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay to Malbec, Red Blend, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Menu strengths

Beer
Eleven named drafts plus three non-alcoholic beers, priced $7–$8. Local Arizona breweries — Shop Beer Co., Wren House, and Fate Brewing — sit alongside national and imported brands, and the seasonal taps rotate often enough that the list advises asking the server what is pouring.

- — Local Arizona representation across multiple taps, including Shop Beer Co., Wren House, and Fate Brewing.
Standout selections

Menu strengths
- — A dedicated non-alcoholic tier with both a mocktail and three NA beers, not just soft drinks.
- — Published pricing at $12 for the mocktail and $6 for each non-alcoholic beer.
Standout selections
- — O+V Mocktail — a seasonal alcohol-free mocktail, bright and refreshing, at $12.
- — Guinness 0.0 — non-alcoholic stout at $6, alongside Stella Artois 0.0 and Deschutes Black Butte NA.
Pricing: $12 mocktail; $6 NA beers
How it sits with the food
The venue is a wood-fired neighborhood eatery and wine bar established in 2014, so the wine and draft lists are built to sit alongside a wood-fired meal rather than stand alone.
