The editorial take
The Mill Event Venue operates as a wine bar with a broad by-the-glass and bottle list covering sparkling, white, rosé, red, and wine on tap. The Mill "Cabilene" Cabernet Sauvignon, Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne, and Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon are among the named pours. Specialty drinks are wine-based, including Mill Sangria and Frozen Wine-A-Rita. Non-alcoholic sparkling options and standard soft drinks round out the menu. Beer runs to bottled standards and rotating draft taps.

- Start with a wine on tap pour of The Mill "Cabilene" Cabernet Sauvignon, available by 6oz or 9oz, or a glass of Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne. For a frozen option, the Mill Sangria is sweet and fruity, and the Mill "Traveler" Sangria adds a shot of Cabernet to cut that sweetness.
