Vin25

Vin25 is tucked into a converted 1941 house on a quiet side street off Canton and it is exactly the kind of place you would walk past if nobody told you. Do not walk past. Owner Phillip Cooper holds a Court of Master Sommeliers certification and personally selects every bottle in a 200-plus wine cellar that spans France, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Hungary. An Enomatic wine preservation system means the by-the-glass program goes deeper than most restaurants would dare. This is wine as the main event.

Two hundred bottles is substantial for any restaurant, let alone a cozy house in Roswell. Cooper curates across the major European regions — France and Italy anchor the list — but the real personality shows up in the margins. Austrian selections and Hungarian Tokaji tell you this is a sommelier shopping with conviction, not a manager ordering from a distributor sheet. Spain rounds out the Old World representation and domestic picks fill in the New World side. The list rotates with the seasonal menu, which changes roughly five times a year, so repeat visits reward curiosity.

Twenty-five-plus wines by the glass powered by an Enomatic nitrogen preservation system. That machine is the secret weapon — it lets Cooper crack bottles he would never risk opening at a standard pour-and-pray wine bar. The result is a by-the-glass lineup that genuinely reflects the depth of the full bottle list rather than playing it safe with crowd-pleasers. If you are a by-the-glass explorer, this is your playground.
