Wine Bar in Phoenix
Showing 45 - 64 of 64The quaint white bungalow features hanging string lights and a large porch. If not for the diners noshing on seafood towers and escargot, one could easily mistake it for a family home. But this French eatery serves specialties decidedly more sophisticated than what mom used to make, including a buttery, glossy gray Kaluga caviar that […]
The folks behind Su Vino take their wine pretty seriously. The shelves at this tony North Scottsdale establishment are stocked with more than 75 different bottles for sale, including close to a dozen varietals made at their in-house winery. The selection ranges from merlots and Malbecs to sherries and shirazes, and favors such Arizona brands […]
Jeff and Jen Herbert, the pair behind Prescott’s Superstition Meadery, have opened a Phoenix outpost called Superstition Downtown. This ain’t the place for vodka-sodas and IPAs. It’s a true meadery, with bottles, jugs, and 24 taps of mostly meads and ciders. They’re offered as 1-ounce pours, which we’ve found to be an excellent way to […]
Mark Tarbell is one of those classic Phoenix chefs who has transcended his kitchen role and become something of a minor celebrity. That is partly due to his Iron Chef America appearance and his smiling persona on his former show, Arizona PBS’s Plate & Pour, which followed Tarbell into kitchens and bars across the Valley. […]

Browse the local art pieces for sale, grab a board game (they’ve got […]

Solid entrees include superb chili con carne; octopus tacos; and truffle comte bikinis-crustless, toasted mini sandwiches […]
With a name that means thyme in Italian, this lounge-worthy wine bar in Sunnyslope comes courtesy of Heinrich Stasiuk, who also owns Brick, the gourmet pizzeria in downtown Phoenix. Chef/co-owner Mercer Mohr, who currently is at Brick and previously was at the Four Seasons in San Francisco, oversees the wine-friendly lunch and dinner menu (mimosa-friendly […]
Situated in the residential heart of the Coronado District, you won’t readily stumble on low-key little Tuck Shop like you would some of the restaurants along Seventh Street, but this place is worth the detour. Owner DJ Fernandes, an architect, revamped the 1950s-era building into a relaxing hideaway that’s one part sleek tapas bar and […]
Many of us were pretty bummed when Sportsman’s closed. So when Mark Tarbell decided to take over his next door neighbor’s space and reopen part of it as a wine store I let out a sigh of relief. The selection here is skewed heavily toward the domestic with an impressive collection of Oregon pinot noirs. […]
