This wine bar reflects Taos' unique style of artsy-ness. According to the man upfront who kindly…read moregave me a little taste of all the reds displayed at the bar, the shop opened about 3-4 years ago. Despite its cuteness however, it doesn't look like it's been visited by many based on the number of photos uploaded as of April 18, 2026. It might be its location as it's tucked in a quieter area from the center of Taos (it's still very much walkable from it though.) Well, I shall (thus) contribute to it. Great selection of whites and reds. Unfortunately however, none of the reds I got to sample didn't strikingly impress me and yet the Rioja was the best one out of the 7 displayed upfront. I hence went with a glass of it. Despite the beautiful weather on a Saturday at around 5:25pm, nobody was there. The live band for the night had just gotten to it where they were doing a little rehearsal. There was a good hour to the start of the show. The food menu also had a good selection of small bites from charcuterie board to hummus plate to meatballs to dumplings to flatbread etc. And the prices of them were mostly $10 to $15 (except the boards.) I had stopped at a different wine bar earlier where I had gotten me a few food for me to eat at the hotel so I didn't get anything at this place. Maybe next time. It's a great place for girls' night out, a date night or a solo dining as well. As I have mentioned already, live music every night. You can sit close to the band or a bit away from it near the entrance. Wherever you sit you'll be surrounded by the great ambiance. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Whereas I didn't feel super welcomed by the gentleman upfront, my experience with this wine bar…read morethat has so much potential was okay-ish. I pondered if a 2-star rating would be appropriate but he was a lot nicer when I was leaving (he said a firm thanks) and extra stat was added to the whole rating. During my visit in Taos, I had a chance to go to a few different wine places and none of them did "flights". Whereas the other place was generous enough to let me taste more than a handful of their reds this place only gave me one of them (which I didn't care for.) I didn't want to be an entitled customer so I (out of politeness) refrained from asking me for a few more samples. I hence opted out on ordering a full glass for something I might not enjoy as all I could get were the descriptions of several other reds he said. I sure was hungry though so I ordered the mixed green salad and the rotating dessert (some sponge spice cake with date in it.) Both of them (when I ate them later in my hotel room) were okay to decent but I wasn't nowhere near "impressed". Will I go back here when I am in town again? Maybe but I can simply go to the other one I liked more or some vineyards that are 20-30 minutes from the center of Taos. It appears that some other people experienced the same questionable customer service experience (based on their reviews) when I felt "unwelcome" or even "being dismissed" I know that it wasn't personal. Yup, 3-star is good enough for this place for now.

This is my fault and not the responsibility of the server, but I would have liked more honesty on her part. This was the most expensive meal we had in Taos and not worth it.

Much of what my party had looked and tasted as though it were pre-frozen and reheated rather than freshly made. For one both the chicken and the steak were cold in their center while appearing to be cooked all the way through. This would indicate that, despite the significant price tag accompanying the menu, most of the food is in fact brought in a reheated. The service was inattentive. The servers were constantly bickering amongst themselves in front of customers while failing to check on refills for drinks or on the quality of their subpar food. Would not recommend the establishment, there are significantly better option with 100 yards of this building.

The best course, IMO, was the duck confit with corn and hatch chile bread pudding. Accompanied by macerated blueberries and delicious red amaranth micro greens. Chef's kiss. The bouillabaisse was multilayered and seafood was perfectly prepared. To round out our evening, we indulged in a key lime pie that was refreshing and the perfect close to a wonderful meal.

BFF and I were visiting the plaza and I wanted to eat linner somewhere different. As I researched restaurants prior to our trip, I found this gem and they have happy hour 7 days a week! After reading the many great reviews, we arrived approximately 15 min early prior to them opening as we were not sure how busy it would be on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived prior to the bartender but she showed up shortly after we did and took a seat at the bar!. Now, I genuinely do not like bar seating as I prefer a table, and they have one that sits 10 people but since there was two of us we did not want to hog up that much space. Our server was great and we started off with the brussel sprouts and elote corn ribs with red chile butter. Both were delicious and off the charts! I opted for the chicken sando and BFF ordered the steak frites. Both were delish and full of flavor! We also had a really good pinot cab. Our bill was a bit pricey for their HH menu (116.00 incl 5 glasses of cab total) but worth every penny! Ambience is totally cool, laid back, classy (but not pretentious) with a modern rustic flair on the inside. Will definitely be back if I am in Taos again!

WOW. Wine here is AWESOMENESS!…read more Yelp friends ... Armando Rosales is the friendliest bartender I've met in a long while He's from Espanola so he's super down to Earth !

I ordered number 2 to pair with my (incredible) FRENCH ONION SOUP If you have that on your menu I have to try it but this was truly exceptional ! Following that I had the New York Strip. Medium rare. GREAT but I did ask for a side of Green Chile. And Garlic Aioli for the potatoes Nicely cooked but I added some salt and chile to make it pop my taste buds. YES. I would order it again the same way The Pork Chop looked great as well Desert was also very good. Truffles and Port wine ...I love Port wine (Spicy chocolate truffles with lovely RED CHILE in them) I think I'd give these guys 6 stars of if I could because Armando was so cool toward me !

NEVER AGAIN! This place has so much potential but I should have never given them another chance. I…read morewas in town over a year ago with a friend and had great food here, but the service, as stated in my last review, was terrible. This time I was in town with my husband, we were excited to do some appetizers before heading out to a concert at Santa Fe Opera House. I should've known when we walked and the hostess looked less thrilled that we had arrived. Strike one. Once again we sat waiting for our drinks. When talking to our waiter I asked if they had a Lambrusco (red sparkling wine) and he had no idea what I was talking about, this is a wine bar people. I think the waiter should know about the wine. Either way when our drinks finally arrived, my husband's craft tap beer was about 2 inches short. Like it had been sitting on the counter for too long, or someone already drank out of it. Strike two. The same thing happened with his second beer, terrible pour. Either bring it out with head or fill the pint glass appropriately. For appetizers, we ordered the hummus and whipped feta with pita, the calamari, and a radish, arugula prosciutto salad. The calamari was ready and sitting on the counter under a heat light for 20 minutes before it was brought to us with our other appetizers. At this point it was soggy. I also had to ask for the dips that were advertised with the calamari. They then brought out the garlic aïoli, and then I had to again ask for the marinara sauce , as stated on the menu. The salad was all right, but was definitely lacking flavor, some balsamic would've helped it. The hummus and whipped feta was so terrible we had to send it back. The hummus was dried out and rockhard. We couldn't even dip into it. The whipped feta was separated from sitting in a fridge too long. It was milky with a hard clump in the middle. How this got served is beyond me, you could tell by looking at the milky feta and the dried out hummus that it was bad. The manager did come and take it back and it was taken off our check. That's all we ever saw of the manager again.When we were ready to leave, the waiter still had to take the feta and hummus off our ticket. Strike three. I just don't understand, the atmosphere is so beautiful, the space is really unique. They will not be getting my money again.
