So on the way to Miguel's mexican restaurant in Silo Point, we happened to run into this wine bar that is right next to it. When you walk in, you notice that it is clearly very modern and arguably too cool for school. With that being said, it's one of those bars that is nice to go to every once in awhile; let's just say it's a bit nicer than Captain Larry's. It's essentially one of those places where you try to kid yourself into thinking that you are classier and more cultured than you really are (which is always fun).
When we sat down, the waitress handed us Nooks that had the menus on it. Pretty cool stuff. You can scroll through all of the options for food, drink, dessert, etc. at your own pace. Being that it's a wine bar, Melissa got wine, and I got a Bud Light. Just kidding on that - but I got back on the Bud Light wagon at Miguel's afterwards...
Clearly there are lots of options, but Melissa and I decided to split a flight called "South Side of the World". It had a shiraz, a tempranillo, and a pinotage (if that means anything to anyone). The pinotage was a very full bodied, Advil-popping wine, the tempranillo was light and sweet, and the shiraz was also "successful" as they would say in Top Chef.
But what is a trip to a wine bar without cheese?! The waitress triple-dog-dared us to try sheep cheese, which was my favorite personally. I didn't know that eating sheep cheese was so epic. Melissa liked the creamier brie style and blue cheese. The deal was 3 cheeses for $10. Not bad.
All in all, we definitely recommend checking out SILO. 5% if you happen to blackout, wake up in the Silo Point area, and want to get your pretend fancy on.
