Postino East

Unless you've been living under a rock, you already know about Postino Arcadia (arguably Phoenix's most popular wine bar, circa 2001) and Postino Central (its equally jam-packed little sister, circa 2009). Now there's a third Postino in Gilbert and, like its older sibs, it's going gangbusters. And why not? The crew at Upward Projects have hit on a winning formula: historic spaces made hip but comfy (each with a fantastic outdoor component), approachable wines, and everybody's favorite bruschetta, which could be the bread-y foundation on which this empire was built. Here, you'll find 25 to 30 mostly boutique wines by the glass and over 60 bottles. Don't miss Monday's and Tuesday's Board and a Bottle for $20, but get there plenty early. The offer starts at 8 p.m. and by 8:30 there's a wait, which is almost worthwhile for the people-watching.
