I look forward to coming to this wine bar every summer when we stroll the Monday market in Forcalquier. It's has this awesome art loft meets wine cellar vibe with top-notch sidewalk seating (I could watch French people all day!) and a sprawling indoor space too. They are pretty clued into the local art scene and have regular receptions and even some live music on special occassions, I *think*.
The owner is just the kind of wine nerd you want to consult with. He's very softspoken and sweet, and knows each wine like it's his beloved child. Only catch is, their liquor license doesn't allow them to sell wine without food, so you're "forced" to eat. I can think of worse things!
You'll feel hyper-cool and quasi-local if you drink here. Recommended! read more
