The Best Wine Bars Near Demo, by the Record

The name is short for sommelier, which tells you everything about where priorities lie at this wine-forward modern restaurant across from the MO art museum. The team pairs your food with bottles chosen for you after a quick conversation about what you like, pulling from a cellar of over 500 selections. The kitchen adds wood-fired dishes to keep things interesting. Bottles and memorabilia line the walls, and the vibe stays neighborhood-easy despite the serious wine operation behind it.
