Portalis Wine Shop + Wine Bar

Description:

• The Scene
  With a selection of wines that deftly spans the globe and several price ranges (from less than $10 to more than $250), Portalis has established itself as a prime retail destination. Exposed-brick walls, hardwood floors and vintage signs encourage visitors to linger at the bar. Friendly service makes the mood even cozier and keeps the place crowded on weekends with wine enthusiasts of all ages.
  
  The Draw
  Approximately 30 wines are available by the glass, along with full bottles of champagne and other sparkling wines. More surprising is the bar's strong list of mostly German and Belgian beer. French-press coffee is the highlight of the non-alcoholic offerings. A small, rotating menu of cheese plates, soup and sandwiches complements the lengthy drink list.
