First Impression

A 200-300 bottle list at a casual wine bar? That's serious. The list rotates frequently, which means they're actively curating, not letting bottles gather dust. This is the kind of place where the staff actually wants to talk wine, not just pour it.

Selection Deep Dive

The list skews global with no obvious regional obsession, which keeps things interesting. They're pulling from serious producers—DuMol Russian River Chardonnay isn't a budget pick—but also keeping the entry point accessible. The range shows they're thinking about both the curious beginner and the regular who wants something new every visit. No lazy distributor defaults here; someone's doing the work to keep this list fresh and adventurous.

By the Glass

30-40 pours by the glass is aggressive for a small plates spot, and the $8-$15 range hits the sweet spot between approachable and worthwhile. The rotation means you're not drinking last month's leftovers. This is where the list earns its keep—enough variety to try something new without committing to a bottle.

💰Best Value

DuMol Russian River Chardonnay — $60-80

Serious California Chard without the bloat—clean, focused, and priced fairly for what you're getting

💎Hidden Gem

Sledgehammer Cabernet Sauvignon

The name sounds like a gimmick, but it's a solid Napa Cab that most people skip because they assume it's overextracted—it's not

Skip This

Generic house pours

With 30-40 glasses available, there's zero reason to play it safe with the house red

🍽️Perfect Pairing

DuMol Russian River Chardonnay + Cheese plate

Bright acidity cuts through rich cheeses while the weight matches creamy selections—classic pairing done right

✔️ The Bottom Line

Cheuvront knows what it's doing. The list is deep enough to keep you coming back, the prices don't punish curiosity, and the rotation means there's always something new. This is your neighborhood wine bar if you actually care about wine.
