Bin 13 Wine Bar

Fifteen bottles on a wine bar list sounds like a limitation, but Bin 13 uses that constraint intentionally — this isn't a lazy short list, it's a curated one. The range from $28 Damsel Pinot Gris to $195 Antinori Tignanello tells you immediately that whoever built this list knows what they're doing. Bellingham doesn't have a ton of serious wine spots, which makes this place feel a little like finding a good record store in a strip mall.

The list splits into two clear lanes: an approachable everyday tier anchored by Washington and Oregon producers like Damsel, Stoller, Brook & Bull, and Vital, and a fine wine tier headlined by Col Solare and Antinori. The Washington representation is solid — Vital's Cabernet and Chardonnay at $28 are workhorses, and the Brooks & Bull trio covers the red spectrum at consistent value. The French side is thin but purposeful: a Chateau Pougel Beaujolais and a Les Charmes Petit Chablis round things out without overreaching. The jump from the $28–$35 everyday tier to the $120 Col Solare and $195 Tignanello is steep, with almost nothing in between — a $50–$80 middle layer would make this list complete.

The sourced data covers bottle pricing only — by-the-glass specifics aren't available here. Given the price points and wine bar format, it's reasonable to expect pours, but we can't confirm what's being opened or at what price. Worth asking the staff what's currently open.
