The Vibe Is There, The Wine Isn't

The room sells it — speakeasy energy, floor-to-ceiling windows, cozy booths that make you want to linger over a bottle. Then the wine list arrives and the fantasy deflates a little. For a Spanish tapas bar leaning into Iberian identity, the list reads more like an airport duty-free trolley than a curated program.
The regional story is right on paper — Spain, Argentina, Portugal — but the execution stays shallow. You're not finding small-production Rioja producers or anything from Galicia or the Canary Islands; this is the grocery store aisle version of those regions. A 30-60 bottle list has real potential in a concept like this, but without named producers of note, it's hard to get excited about what's actually in the rack. The Argentina and Portugal inclusions feel like afterthoughts rather than intentional additions to the Iberian narrative.
Eight to fifteen pours by the glass is a healthy spread, and credit where it's due — the range covers bubbly, white, and red. But when your BTG anchors are commodity-tier Cavas and La Gioiosa Prosecco at $35 a bottle, the program isn't working hard enough for the price point. Rotation appears nonexistent; what you see is what you get, week after week.
La Gioiosa Prosecco Rosé NV — $35
Still a steep markup over its ~$17 retail price, but among the sparkling options here it's the one that at least earns its keep — frothy enough to cut through the Chorizo al Vino and the most flattering glass on the table at this price tier.
Casas Del Mar Cava NV
Most people will reach for the Prosecco out of habit, but Cava is the right call at a Spanish tapas bar — it's made the same way as Champagne, it's from the right country for this food, and it costs the same $35 here. Order the thing that makes sense for the room.
Gran Campo Viejo Cava NV
A $12 retail bottle sitting at $35 on the menu is a 192% markup — the steepest on the list. Campo Viejo is fine supermarket Cava, but there's no story here that justifies the price. Pass.
Casas Del Mar Cava NV + Gambas al Ajillo
The bright acidity and fine bubbles in the Cava cut right through the garlic-butter richness of the shrimp without fighting the heat. It's the most classically Spanish combination on the menu and the best argument for ordering bubbly with savory food.
❌ The Bottom Line
Savór has the bones of a great wine bar — the concept, the atmosphere, the food — but the list hasn't caught up yet. Until the markups come down and the producers get more interesting, stick to one glass of Cava with the tapas and call it a night.
