Ancho & Agave

Five wines. That's the whole list. At a lively modern Mexican spot in Bloomington where tequila and tacos are clearly running the show, wine is very much the supporting cast. But at $7–$9.50 a glass, the price of admission is low enough that we're not complaining.

The list reads like a greatest-hits of approachable value labels — Santa Julia, Line 39, Ballard Lane, Tilia, Tortoise Creek — nothing that's going to start a conversation, but nothing embarrassing either. California dominates, with a couple of value-tier imports rounding things out. There's a Borsao Rosé from Spain's Campo de Borja that's the one interesting detour on an otherwise predictable tour. Don't come here chasing Burgundy or biodynamic skin-contact anything — this list exists to get wine into your hand quickly while you wait on fajitas.

All five bottles are available by the glass, which means zero rotation and zero mystery — what you see is what you get, every single night. That said, Wednesday's half-price happy hour (3–5 pm) drops those glasses into the $3.50–$4.75 range, which is genuinely hard to argue with for a mid-week taco run. There are reportedly a few bonus pours on that Wednesday special list not found on the regular menu, which is a nice touch.
