The editorial take
Wyne Tasting & Cocktail Bar in pairs a rotating selection of 32 boutique wines with a classic cocktail list. Wine tasting comes in three pour sizes, from 1.25-ounce tastes to full glasses, and bottles are available to go. The cocktail menu covers standards like Old Fashioned and Negroni, plus a few twists. Non-alcoholic options use premium spirits. A self-serve wine wall adds a hands-on element, and loyalty members get retail pricing.
- What should I order?
- Start with the wine tasting to sample from the rotating 32-bottle selection; try a 1.25-ounce taste before committing to a glass. For cocktails, the Old Fashioned uses Old Forester bourbon and angostura bitters, or the Negroni with Hendrick's gin. Non-alcoholic drinkers should try the Lyin High with Seedlip and hibiscus.

- Wine enthusiasts looking to explore boutique wines from around the world without committing to full glasses. The self-serve wine wall appeals to curious tasters who like to sample at their own pace. Cocktail drinkers who appreciate classic recipes and clear ingredient lists will find familiar favorites, and non-alcoholic drinkers have crafted options.

- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $13 to $19; non-alcoholic cocktails are $10. Wine tasting pours average $2.30-$3.30 for a taste, $4.50-$6.60 for a half glass, and $8-$12 for a full glass.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The self-serve wine wall with 32 rotating boutique wines and three pour sizes is the centerpiece, allowing guests to taste widely at their own pace.
