Sixty Vines

The name does the heavy lifting — sixty wines by the glass is the whole pitch, and walking in, you feel it. The space is modern and airy, the wine wall is real, and the energy skews more social wine bar than stuffy restaurant. It's a good first impression, even if the list itself doesn't quite match the ambition of the concept.

The list leans hard into recognizable names — Caymus, Whispering Angel, Meiomi, Kim Crawford — which tells you exactly who this is built for. California and France anchor the selections, with Italy and New Zealand filling in the gaps, and the Pacific Northwest making a cameo. There's nothing wrong with any of these wines individually, but as a 60-bottle program, the list plays it remarkably safe. You won't discover anything here you couldn't find at a well-stocked Total Wine, which is either comforting or disappointing depending on what you're after.

Sixty by-the-glass options is genuinely impressive on paper and absolutely the star of this program — it's why people come. In practice, the selections skew toward high-recognition crowd pleasers rather than anything that'll make you lean across the table and ask 'what is that?' That said, having that volume means there's almost always something decent for whoever you're dining with, which counts for real-world value.
