The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. They also have a great wine selection, but what really made the experience stand out was Nico, the owner. His passion for what he's created is so apparent, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and wine. I loved hearing that many of the dishes are based on family recipes and that a lot of the vegetables they use are grown locally. You can tell there's so much thought and care behind everything they serve. It's the kind of place that feels special without being pretentious -- great food, great wine, a beautiful space, and people who genuinely care about what they're doing. I'll definitely be back!

First of all, the outdoor seating is cute as hell. It feels like you've stepped into this little enchanted garden. It's cozy, intimate, and such a beautiful setting to sit outside with a glass of wine. And Mo is phenomenal! She was so warm and welcoming and made the whole evening feel special. The wine and cheese pairings were delicious, and it was such a fun way to experience Mo's for the first time. Such a little hidden gem. I will absolutely be back!

We were invited to the grand re opening and what a grand event it was!…read more I don't know how long they were open but my group of 4 arrived at 7:30 and it was poppin! It was quite busy and very hard to get an order placed at the bar. As we were waiting for the remainder of our party, we grabbed a table top outside and someone from the bar came and took our order which was really nice since we couldn't squeeze in at the bar. I'm not sure what it was for but there was a huge cake that was cut up and passed around which we got to partake in which was kinda cool. They also had a live band playing which added to the overall vibe. They have bar food and a great outdoor seating area with a fire pit. Can definitely see myself making many visits especially in the summer time!

From the…read moremoment you walk in, the space sets the tone with a modern industrial design, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open, airy layout that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.

Over the years I have stopped in Archive for a great glass of wine…read more This summer Archive added a small event space to their property. A small building in the back of the patio area. Archive has also been hosting some fabulous pop dinners and wine tasting in this new space. The pop ups have been great fun. I have attended two where two of my favorite chefs were creating their unique dishes, and Archive owner nailed the perfect pairings with all the dishes. The space isn't huge, so the events are limited to 30 people. Just right to get star treatment from everyone. No pretentious wine snobs or chefs, everyone discussing the highlights of the food and wine. Besides the dinners, Archive has also been hosting blind tastings and other fun wine discovery night. Street parking is limited. There is a parking ramp just around the corner that is easy to use.

The room was pretty enclosed so we didn't experience seeing the DJ or the beautiful ambiance. In fact we could barely hear the music. Next time we make a reservation, we will ask specifically to be seated in the main room. Nevertheless, we ordered the bruschetta that was absolutely delicious and a smoked salmon on a baguette dish. They both were incredibly delicious! Of course we ordered the bottomless Mimosas! Definitely a fun place to eat and drink with friends! Just ask for the main room!

It was really too much but I am glad I tried it, so unique. I took the salmon pate home and had it on toast the next day. I have to say the pizza was probably my least favorite, but it was generous with good pepperoni. Really love this place and look forward to coming back again soon.

On Mondays, the margarita are $8 each or if you order a margherita pizza, you can get a margarita for free. The food is delicious! And good portions as well.

I've been excited to start making my rounds in the Reno/Tahoe/Truckee areas and let me tell you, I started off strong! I was able to book a reservation when I Googled the tasting room. I wasn't sure I needed one so I made just to be on the safe side. Our reservation was on Saturday before Memorial day weekend so I wasn't sure how busy it would be. Our reservation was for 4:30 and we would would been okay without one. I booked a window view which gives you a nice view facing 4th street and beyond. There are so many seating options and you can't tell from the outside but there's definitely plenty of room! It looked like they have some outdoor seating as well! All three of us ordered a tasting flight and eat all shared a charcuterie board and a lobster roll. My flight was the Pinot Noir and I was very impressed! Each one was better than the last! The charcuterie board was amazing and something I'd definitely order again. The filling of the lobster roll was good but I wasn't a fan of the bread. Our server was prompt, personable, and so sweet, we enjoyed her very much! I love the different seating options and that you can look around at all the wines they have within the building. Our first experience was wonderful and I can't wait to return to try more flights and menu items. I feel this is such a nice place to celebrate, relax or enjoy a date night.
