Evidently today, February 18th, is National Drink Wine day. Who knew? Since I am one to drink wine on any day, it would be wrong not to celebrate this holiday right?
Here are my top three places to drink wine in Columbia, MO.
Top Ten Wines: This is a great spot for trying something new. They usually feature six to ten varietals from seven to twelve dollars. That cost gets you a third of a bottle so take a friend and split a couple. That way you both get to try two different wines over the space a couple of hours. Or ask for two glasses and split the carafe. It's the perfect way to start an evening or have a quick drink before heading home.
Sycamore: I usually go here for the beer but their immensely reasonable happy hour menu always features a red and a white wine too. Go from five to seven and have a glass for $5 or so. This is also one of the few places in town you can always get a glass of Norton.
Les Bourgeois A-Frame: I know this isn't technically in Columbia, but hop a few exits west on I70 and you're drinking wine in one of the most scenic spots in the area. Plus they have great snacks. And I can bring my kids. It's like my living room, but with a gorgeous Missouri river view.
What are your favorite CoMo places for wine?

ReplyDeleteThose are my faves too! I try to buy wine at top ten when I can because Paul always comes up with a great new idea for me and it's usually under $15 a bottle. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for supporting National Drink Wine Day this year!
ReplyDeleteSky Hi Bar & Grill. The owner Jim has really turned the wine selection around. He is very knowledeable about wine. The beer selections are really good too. Always seems to be something new to try on-tap.
ReplyDeleteWe love Top Ten Wines when we really want to try something new and be sure it will be good. For just bringing home a few bottles, we tend to go to Gerbes. They have a great selection and ALWAYS have lots on sale, which is key.
ReplyDeleteFor sitting about having a nice glass of wine, Sycamore is usually the place. Their bartenders are really good about letting you try anything and giving a good description of what you'll get. Also, oddly, Coley's. The lady that buys their wine is a friend of a friend, and I know she goes on a trip about once a year to actually sample new wines in their native regions. Her name is Marsha and she is very passionate about her wine, and so we've always been really pleased there.
I love this blog, it's like my living room, but with a gorgeous Missouri river view.
