Charming wine bar on NW Raleigh right off NW 23rd. The stone exterior is adorned with greenery and…read morepurple party lights with lots of bistro tables and chairs for nice weather. Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

It's a small spot with dim lighting and huge windows, for those of us who like to watch the world pass over a bold red. If you're looking for a place to go to feel slightly mysterious and you'd like to be the most interesting person in the world for an hour or so, this is the place to go! Amazing recommendations from the staff, as well. They know their wines! Just describe your favorite taste or feeling. No need to know wine lingo for them to know exactly what you want.

My partner and I stopped in for happy hour over the weekend, and loved the vibe of this place! We…read morewere confused at first because the door was locked, but it turns out they keep it that way when it isn't super busy, and we just had to enter through the restaurant next door instead. We were seated immediately, and our server (a young woman with glasses) was exceptional. She was super friendly, joked with us, and checked on us frequently, even though she was also working tables in the restaurant. When we asked to change the music, she was happy to oblige. The bar itself is cozy (one of the smallest in the United States!) but comfortable. It was pretty cold when we went and I don't think they had heating on, but otherwise I had no complaints. I ordered a glass of their seasonal sangria and a glass of the pinot gris. Bpth were nicely chilled and refreshing. We also ordered their samosas, which are absolutely excellent. I was pleased to see that almost everything on the menu is vegetarian-- I'll have to come back and sample some more!

I order 4 half glasses and everything paired perfectly with the food. I came here on Sunday ($2 per oyster) and the wines were excellent and the food surprisingly good. MUST GET: - oyster with champagne from romaine guiborat. - hamachi crudo - roasted maitake paired with local orange (Buona Notte mortadella from Columbia George in Washington). Maitake was served with pinenut and rice crumble, which was delightful. I put the sauce with hamachi crudo in the roasted maitake and it elevated the taste. It can use a bit more balsamic vignegrette or lemon juice to elevate the mushroom taste even more. - dessert wine (2021 romaine ogereau, chenin blanc) was delightful. Very balanced. Subtle sweetness with perfect balance of citrus notes. A bit of apricot on the nose. A fine ending to the delightful dinner. Solid: Spaghetti with morel. Paired with 2023 Bruno verdi from oltrepo pavese Italy. I really liked the pecorino cheese that tempered the salty-ness of the spaghetti. I think the food would be better with a bit less oil. The spaghetti almost reminded me of the Asian noodles vs traditional spaghetti.

We were alone inside but I can imagine it feeling a bit cramped if it were to get crowded, though they have outside seating as well. Price was reasonably to mildly pricy but understandable considering the area. Parking may be a challenge for some; it was early afternoon when I went so luckily I found a spot around the corner. Overall a fun experience. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

We loved the red and white wine offerings in their flights. My only slight critiques were the flight options and seating. I was wishing there were more white wine flights offered. Their seating was a little limited for bigger parties downstairs so we went upstairs. This place is also so conveniently located. We went to the waterfront area for the Saturday market and took a short 10-15 min walk here afterwards.
