This is absolutely one of our favorite places to relax and enjoy a good glass of wine (or three). We usually make it a date night and go on Friday nights because we like the live acoustic music. It's not too loud to still have a conversation, even if you're sitting close to the talent. I love the atmosphere - when it's cooler, it's nice to sit around the fireplace and cozy up!
We seem to always get the same waitress when we go, but she's fabulous! She is very knowledgable and always makes great recommendations.
My husband loves good beer, and they have a really impressive beer selection, too.
The food's great, too. It is a little on the expensive side, but we typically just do a couple apps to share.
Overall, it's a great little gem and I would have never found it had it not been for Yelp!
First time there and it was great. Wonderful service and chef Sarah Baer was rock'n Our server Brittney  suggested a good spanish wine and sparkling sprite on the rocks. But the best part of the dinner was the amazing, teeth rotting s'mores with homemade marshmallow. I don't care if I have to gum my food for the rest of my life I would eat that homemade marshmallow all day long. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Review Source:This little wine bar saved our date night! They provided wonderful service, great prices, live music and the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening. They had a great wine selection with very reasonable prices. We did not have any dinner here, but enjoyed the delicious Nutella S'mores for dessert. I would highly recommend this for a relaxing evening out.
Review Source:What a neat little gem this place proved to be. Â
I literally have driven by this place a million times and never once stopped in until I was invited there for a happy hour one Friday. Â Not sure really what to expect but it was a great call! Â Although not the biggest place, it was spacious enough and not over crowded. Â Our waitress was extremely friendly and very timely in her service. Â The beer selection was very good and if you're a wino this is the establishment to check out. Â
My Wine Cellar gets 2 thumbs up from me
I have been twice. Both times were great, the staff makes the place a charm to attend and go to.
~Fud/Drink~
Well, the food takes an obvious second place to the wines in house, which there are plenty of. The staff understands how to interpret your pallet well, and easily helped guide my fiance and self through the options we had. We ordered some Sweet Red they had on the shelf which was perfect with the pizza we ordered. The pizza was a fine thin crust with yummy add-ins like pepperoni and olives, etc. The wines here all are fantastic, we had a hard time choosing from the selection they keep stock of. They also have some beers if you prefer that, although I believe the selection has changed.
~Atmosphere~
It has a quiet, local and relaxing quality to it. I felt right at home and our waitress on each occasion was welcoming and attentive. It has a lot of homey qualities to the site, the bar area has a TV but its not in your face, allowing me the chance to pay attention to whom I am with, rather than other disturbances. They have an outdoor patio we briefly skimmed over. Next time I go I'll update on it so you have a feel for what it provides, etc. There is a general sense that loud noise is well out of the norm here, so boisterous parties are probably best left for reserving space for an event.
~Extras/Rating~
They do host events, and they do a great job at hosting them from what I have heard. It is an awesome idea for a date, there isn't a better idea for a first date then some wine and pizza to chill to while you talk. They get 4 stars for having a good blend of food and wine/beer selection as well. Plus on top of that, the ambiance is perfectly romantic and will leave you with a great lasting memory! My fiance and I have a favorite wine bar, BUT this is a very close second!
Went here for happy hour with a couple friends. Â When I was contacted about making reservations the lady calling was very nice, friendly and helpful. Â Turns out that there really is no need for reservations on a Saturday evening at 5pm. Â Place only had a couple people in it.
I do think it is nice that they have happy hour specials on a Saturday until 6. Â Woo Hoo.
I tried two glasses of white HH wine. Â I did not care for the chardonnay at all. Â I felt like I was drinking fruit juice. Â Then I was going to try the one from Spain. Â The waitress brought me a sample and I hated it - reminded me of baby powder for some odd reason. Â So I tried a glass of the reisling. Â I really liked it!!
For food we tried many things.  The french fries with no bacon.  They were delicious fries but I did not like the aoli.  I am just not a fan of mayonnaise based sauces.  The chick peas were my favorite appetizer that we tried.  It really grew on me and I didn't think I liked chick peas.  We also tried the bruschetta.  I had the one with brie, carmelized onions and apple.  It was okay.  I wouldn't order it again.  It was skimpy on the bri and the bread was a boring wheat flavor to me.  The onions were delicious though.  Also tried the brussell sprouts and wasn't impressed.  To al dente to me and I am not a fan of black pepper.  Also got  the house made pasta and it was really delicious.  I highly recommend it!
Live music started at 7pm but it was hard to hear from the side of the restaurant we were on.
Date night, wanted to try a new place. Called to see if getting a table at 8 pm on Sat night would be a problem, she said no, come on down. We wanted to love it, as it's not far from home. It hurts me to give a place with a new owner a mediocre review. But I have to be honest.
Happy that we caught Notes from Neptune playing music which is only once a month; they were REALLY good. Relaxing yet upbeat, nice sax & voices, & not too loud to hold a conversation; well-done choice of entertainment.
The blonde server helped me choose a wine, let me try one I was considering, which I appreciated.
My husband got beef sliders. They were tasty & toasted buns were a nice touch. They came with a few (a FEW) fries that seemed to be made from delicious, creamy potatoes, but were sadly soggy even though they looked pretty well-done.
I ordered two apps instead of a meal - the sweet potato chips (server said they are delicious, made fresh to order) and the brussel sprouts.
We did have a staggered order, as I took a while to decide on my food. Slider order went in first. But once I did order, I waited a LONG time for the chips, much longer than the turnaround for my husband's sliders. The menu says "hand cut," so maybe they actually grab a raw potato and start carefully slicing when the order makes it into the kitchen? Â However, I would then expect them to be uh-oh hot. When they arrived, they had NO heat at all. Given my history as a server & restaurant manager, I'm guessing then they were left in the window a while before making it to our table.
The sweet potato chips were a shockingly small portion for the $5 price - I had to hide my surprise when they were delivered. You gotta know, we are NOT "big portion" people, we often split an entree when we go out, as we are not fans of the "more is better" concept. Â But for $5, this was ridiculous, a HANDFUL. My husband sincerely said to me, "I planned to have a few, but I'd feel guilty, as you won't have enough." I should have counted, could have very easily and quickly, but didn't think about it before I dove in since I was hungry. They are thin-cut, come in a cutesy little mini-deep fryer basket lined very loosely with waxy paper that therefore holds them up higher than the bottom of the basket (like the gift basket trick of putting in a false bottom to lift up the gift items). Therefore, initially they look mounding out of the little basket, with a honey dip ramekin nestled in there with them (taking up yet more space NOT full of chips). Once I removed the ramekin and looked inside, I could no longer deny that yes in fact this was a - forgive me, owner - rip off. I know what a sweet potato costs, even an organic one bought at retail price at "Whole Paycheck" grocery store. I'm all for places making a nice profit, but honestly... I felt kinda "taken" by that app. If it had been delicious, maybe if it had "wowed" me (I LOVE sweet potato anything), but they were un-warm, not much flavor, and the honey aioli didn't improve them for me at all (I set that to the side after two tries).
The brussel sprouts for some reason took another 15 - 20 minutes PAST the chips to arrive (no exaggeration, the band took their entire break & went back to playing while we waited for the brussels). But when they finally arrived, YUM! we agreed we should have skipped the chips AND the sliders, and just had multiple order of the brussels. (But that would be weird, "Hi, just 2 orders of brussel sprouts, please," - not a reason to return). They were delivered hot, and their weight pushed that little piece of wax paper all the way down into the cutesy basket, no space-robbing ramekin, so I'm happy to say said basket was joyously full. We didn't mind paying $6 for those! Â (Surely the brussel sprouts cost more than a small sweet potato?? Don't understand pricing logic here).
Music really saved the whole experience from being really mediocre. Server was very nice, but either she screwed up my order and 1. left my first item in the window and 2. forgot to put in my second item for a long time, OR this is normal kitchen flow (she didn't say anything like, "sorry for the wait," so maybe this is normal?). Either way, unimpressed.
SUMMARY: We agreed nothing to bring us back. However, we could see it's potential. If you hit it for happy hour prices and the music is good, and maybe when the patio is open, and the kitchen and servers are humming along, it could be a fine place to go, as others describe. Â Moving on...........
P.S. - Funny, I just saw that "Phyllis" mentioned an odor the same night we were there. We were not sitting near either bathroom. I asked my husband at one point, "Did you fart?" He looked shocked, swore no (and he's pretty trustworthy on that Q.) A little while later I smelled a waft again... and I realized it was the same sewage smell that happens in public bathroom drains from time to time.
I arranged a surprise birthday party for my wife on Fri. 12/21 and Zoya and her team made it a wonderful and memorable event for our 15 guests and us.
From the selection of a variety of wines and beers for tasting - to the "munchies" (sampling of flat breads, Artisan cheese & meat platters, and delicious chicken quesadillas) there was a great attention to service, and to making us feel welcome and cared for.
A great experience!
After a lukewarm experience, the owner of MWC reached out to me via Yelp and asked for a second chance after apologizing for the subpar trip. My wife and I obliged and ended up having a great time. Our server was super friendly, knowing just when to stop by our patio table to check drink levels, ask about our food and provide general chit chat. We were able to take advantage of the happy hour (ends at 6:00p), which offeres $5 wine selections (white & red) + $5 22 oz. draft beers. You can also order discounted appetizers. We tried the chicken quesadilla and it was outstanding. The patio was quiet, clean and offered a nice view of Ahwatukee gold course. There are bistro lights that turn on when the sun sets, and we also experienced live music the night we visited (Saturday- seems the music begins around 7p).
The food was really good- after the app we tried three types of the bruschetta and all were tasty (Italian was super yum). There is a wide selection of menu items, ranging from flatbread pizzas to pasta dishes. The drink list is impressive, but know this is a wine and beer bar only. You'll have numerous options to select from- and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in finding the right glass of wine for you and your table. They can even help you pair your wine with food items.
I'm really glad we gave My Wine Cellar a second chance. My wife and I have been visiting for quite a few years now (with previous ownership) and have always enjoyed ourselves. For a wine bar, MWC leaves the pretentious attitudes at the door and focus on friendly service, great wine selections, and some really cool beer options for the non-wine patrons. The environment is casual, and I would recommend to my friends and fellow Yelpers to give this place a shot. A great date spot if you're looking for some place new.
I absolutely love this place. I have been twice and Katie (bar manager) has been my server both times...she is great! She recommended the bacon/Squash flatbread and it was outstanding! The wine was great, and even greater on HH (which, btw their HH is from open to 6pm M-S. They are not open before 3pm though, so don't try going here for lunch...it's a chill, nighttime place to bring dates or close friends/family members.
On weekends, there is always an acoustic musician playing. I have experienced Blaine Long and Notes from Neptune. Both phenomenal.
Long story short...if you read my reviews you know I like chill spots with great lighting and patios. This is another one of those....I will be back for a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc time.
:)
My favorite place to enjoy an excellent wine or beer selection is My Wine Cellar on the north side of Warner Rd between I-10 and 48th St! Whether I'm looking for a private tete a tete table, a perch up at the lively bar or a couch around the fire table out on the patio the staff will go out of their way to accommodate my wishes. New owner, Zoya, never misses an opportunity to express what's new on the wine list or menu ( which is updated seasonally ) to pique my interest.
Chef Sarah is a genius in the kitchen! Please do yourself a favor and order her  Belgian Fries - perfection! Cheesy Welsh Rarebit was better than mom made! Sorry mom!
At the most recent Wine Paring Dinner, Chef Sarah and Zora did a fabulous job of flawlessly matching the wines to the fixed menu. True art blends line, form, texture and color together. Now add flavor and true art is what Chef Sarah served! Delicious hors d'oeuvres, salad, scallops, osso bucco and a delectable chocolate caramel dessert! Conversation was lively, service was seamless! Clearly, the entire staff was committed to making the evening very special for its diners.
That's what makes this wine bar better than any other I've been to in recent years - attention to detail, great wine, food and the company!
Great place! Â I love that they feature wines from "the little guys." Â You won't find most of what they feature at any Total Wine or Bevmo. Â Small business supporting small business... totally awesome in my eyes! Â The staff is knowledgeable and ooooh Chef Sarah - your food pairings with the wine in the wine 101 course were AMAZING! Â Katie, the sommelier, is fun and she knows her stuff, plus it is clear that she loves to share her knowledge of wine with everyone. Â I'll be back for sure!
Review Source:came here for the first time on my birthday. Â Took the wine 101 class. its on a monday night at 6pm. It was sooo much fun and I learned so much. Â The wine was all really great and it came with delicious little pairings for each different glass. Â The women who taught the class was great. I feel back I can't remember her name but she was so cute and was super knowledgable. Â The best part its very reasonably prices so I love that
Review Source:If you live in the SW Chandler, Ahwatukee or South Tempe area this is a great place to come for a glass of wine. Â The food is superb, the cook formerly was employed at T Cooks at the Royal Palm, they have a nice happy hour and they have music on the weekends. Â They also have a wine club that you can belong to and members get 2 bottles of wine monthly for a reasonably low cost. Â We are also hosting a client event there in the next two weeks and the owner Zoya has been great to work with. We really enjoy the staff and all that MWC has to offer!
Review Source:loving the 'new' owner and new chef at MWC. The food finally lives up to the wine selection, and i particularly like that they're offering a great craft beer menu. the new patio seating is fabulous on a cool Valley night. service a bit slow and stretched, but you're supposed to be relaxing anyway, right? Â
flatbreads and bruschettas are really good...interesting combinations.
I was searching Yelp for bars with live music on a Friday night and My Wine Cellar came up with having a DJ who spins acid jazz. Â It was date night, so I figured why not. Â We arrived and the place was fairly busy, but not packed. Â We were immediately greeted by all three members of the front-of-house staff. We were able to get a table against the wall in a booth-combo setup.
Katie, the bar manager, arrived promptly and said that we made it for happy hour and explained all the HH specials. The deals are good, especially if you want to explore some new wine tastes at a reasonable by the glass price. Â Anyway, she asked us what brought us in and I explained the Yelp search. Â She then told us that the DJ wasn't playing but a new young guitar player was going to be doing acoustic blues. Â We were totally down with that.
We ordered two beers and a bruschetta combo. Â The bruschetta was very unique, on good artisan bread, and topped with well created toppings. Â We ordered the Caprese with tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella; the Spanish, with mozzarella and thinly sliced chorizo with red peppers, and the brie and caramelized red onion. Â It was a nice selection, and at only $11 was more than enough food to start our evening. Â We took advantage of the happy hour food specials by ordering the tempura green beans with spicy aioli on the side. Â The tempura was crisp, but left a little too much grease. Â The flavor was really good and the aioli was a good accompaniment. Â We were content.
As the end of happy hour approached, we decided to order two glasses of wine and were given direction by Katie, who is also My Wine Cellar's sommelier. Â She did a great job of listening to our likes and matched two wines to our flavor profiles perfectly. Â My wife had the Redwood Pinot Noir and I had the Crucillon Garnacha, a Spanish Zinfandel.
The music started and it was pleasant, although we were very close to the artist, so we decided to move to the bar. Â It was also a little warm back in the corner and the bar was much cooler. Â At the bar, we ordered two flatbreads, my wife opting to revisit the brie and caramelized red onion (she loved it), and me choosing the house specialty, The Territorial, a bbq-styled treat with short rib meat and provolone. Â It was excellent.
Our evening at My Wine Cellar was thoroughly enjoyable, with each member of the staff conscientiously attending to every detail, engaging in pleasant conversation, and understanding how to take care of their customers.
We will surely return and look forward to sampling some other wonderful tapas and small plates, although I may not be able to get my wife to stray from her beloved brie and caramelized red onion now.
Shawizzz......zzzz.....zzzz
What my expectations of this cute little wine restaurant sounded. At first glance I was excited since Saturday nights are my nights to go Yelping! My Wine Cellar is the first stop. My guest and I sat at the bar. Â We ordered a few drinks.... we ordered a few drinks....I said we ORDERED A FEW DRINKS! Â Oh there you are! For a minute there I was getting thirsty. Granted big party was "in da house" out back rockin' away, but really I'm sitting at the bar. I can reach over to pour my own drink if that is fine. Â
We ordered some roasted Brussel Sprouts, Classic Pizza, Fries, and Hummus. Â Brussel Sprouts were good, Fries were greasy, Classic Pizza -- well was classic and the Hummus was good minus the rock bread we ate it with.
Only thing I dig so far about this place is the ambience. Â I love the outdoor patio overlooking the green grass and the band gave it a Jazzy feel. Â I think they should invest in more couches, but that's just my opinion. - Enjoy!
I've always thought MWC had a great visual atmosphere, the colors and the artwork were great, Â but I never really connected to the place and their wine list was not interesting until now...
New owners took over November '11 and the vibe has changed for the better. Â The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Â Its the kind of place you can go to alone and make immediate friends with the other customers and the staff. Â The wine list has greatly improved and since they brought in a new chef (Sarah) the food is absolutely mouth watering. Â
They have a great happy hour on food and wine and their regular Saturday tastings are a great way to find new and different wines. Â The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they serve, which helps make a great wine bar.
Fantastic patio with live music on the weekends - this is the perfect spot for a group of friends or date night.
I'm starting to become a regular and I don't even live close by.
I love coming here for an after work drink in a relaxing environment. They have a decent wine selection with a nice happy hour menu offering some really tasty treats. I love the bruschetta, particularly the brie, apple and caramelized onions - delicious!
The staff has always been incredibly friendly and attentive. I sit on the patio almost every time and love it. They have lights strung across the patio and it gives a great ambiance in the evening. I've been on a Saturday night before and they had live entertainment - just a guy and his guitar - and it was the perfect touch to the already amazing atmosphere.
I also attended a networking event here for women in my industry and they handled it perfectly. The staff was spot on, offered perfect little bites and made it a very enjoyable event.
I really like how laid back and relaxed the environment is and am so happy it's so close to work that I can make it a regular spot to unwind.
I have been to My Wine Cellar a few times since the change in ownership and I have to say I'm still not sure what to think. I love the idea of a cozy wine bar just a few blocks from my house and that is what this place seems to be. I walk in and the atmosphere is quite cozy and even though there is not a huge crowd of people. The bar is usually full enough and everyone is chatting and appears to be having a good time. Even though the staff is welcoming, I still get this feeling like I'm an "outsider" and not quite a "regular" yet. Can't really place my finger on why.
The happy hour prices and selection for beer and wine are fantastic! Full price would be a little more than I would like to spend, but then again I love a good deal so anything "full price" just seems like I'm missing out. We used Living Social coupon a few days before the expiration and were a little bummed that the coupon wasn't good for the happy hour prices. I know this is somewhat typical, however that just makes the restaurants that DO allow the coupons during happy stand out that much more!
In the time that I have had food (after the ownership change and before), I think it is obvious this place is all about the wine and the food is an afterthought. Nothing wrong with that. I think it is necessary to offer food if you want people to stay and drink a while; we've got to have something to snack on! Bruschettas, thin and crispy pizzas, and salads all with great descriptions on the menu, but the execution leave a little to be desired. Some of the appetizers taste like I could have just gone to Trader Joe's or Costco and purchased the same thing myself.
I promise I am not trying to make this sound bad, I will go back to the wine cellar when I want to relax (but not at home, but not too far away either) with a good glass of wine and a calm, cozy atmosphere. I do like to go there, but I think I like the idea more than the reality. It seems as if there is some unrealized potential at the wine cellar, or maybe that is just the optimist in me. The lesson here is that I will be sure to go during the "happy" hours and I won't go when I'm hungry.
I really enjoy this place. Â The wine selections are nice and they have given me samples to try before I purchased a bottle. The employees have been very interested in customer satisfaction every time I have been there. Â This is pretty darn good for having been there several times.
Everything I have eaten there has been enjoyable.
This is great place for date night, but not a first date, since if it doesn't work out you will want to keep this place as one of your gems to go and relax at. Â It is also fabulous to go there with girl friends.
Bumping this place up to five stars since I have been here a couple more times and both times it was a great night. Â This place has an awesome vibe to it, great food and wine, and good service.
The pizza is very tasty and filling. The bruschetta options are all amazing. I also tried the antipasto plate and was happy to see it came with a little salad that helped to balance out the saltiness of the meats. The cheese and olives that it came with were a great accompaniment to the wine we were drinking that night.
This place is awesome because their bottle prices are extremely reasonable in price and they have some diverse options. The comfy couches and relaxed atmosphere make it a great place to just hang out with friends for hours. Â The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and they are great at recommending new wines. Â I asked about a wine that I had once but haven't been able to find anywhere else and they actually ordered a case of it for me! Â Just a really great place.
One of the gems of Ahwatukee! Hidden discreetly in an old strip mall, MWC hits you with an unexpected, fresh dose of casual classiness as soon as you enter. Comfy couches, nice lighting, great little patio overlooking a golf course, suuuper friendly and attentive staff, and a pretty good happy hour make this place awesome in my book.
Wine selection exceeds my palate, and they even have an eclectic offering of microbrews for beer drinkers like myself. Â Haven't tried the fare, so no opinion on the food. Highly recommended if you find yourself on a date...great place to enjoy conversation and a glass of fermented grapes.
Since a recent ownership change, My Wine Cellar has lost all charm and appeal. The food has gone downhill and the friendly owners are sorely missed.
The service is terrible and recently the new owners refused to honor a vaild gift certificate. The certificate had $50 remaning - on a previous visit the new owners promised they would honor the remainder, despite the certificate being issued by the old owners.
When I returned with my mom to use the rest of the certificate we were told it couldn't be honored - they'd lost too much money on such certificates. The owner claimed to be too busy to come to our table and tell us this in person and the bar was not full. The waitress/manager explained the last time she honored a certificate that she ended up paying for the meal out of her own pocket. What amazing owners to alienate not only, the purchaser and holder of the cert, bu their own staff as well. Certianly won't be back.
For the past several years I've used My Wine Cellar as the go to place for wine classes, gifts, a special bottle of wine. I'm so sad that the new owners are so amazingly clueless. Oh well reason to explore new places!
From the ambiance, to the staff, to the wine list, this place has got it figured out. Â I LOVE wine, but I usually feel like I'm being tested when I go into wine bars. Â This place is so unpretentious, it's a breath of fresh air. Â If you don't know exactly what to ask for, the staff will ask you about what you've liked in the past, what flavor profiles you prefer, and a ton of other questions to narrow down exactly what you'll like. Â 3 times out of 3 they've nailed it on the head!
They just recently added a happy hour menu and expanded their food menu as well...you have to try the smoked salmon bruschetta best I've had in the valley (even beats out postino's smoked salmon!)
To top it off, this place even offers wine 101 classes, grape varietal classes, and even a book club! Â
I think you get it by now: This place rules.
Um, pretty much the perfect place for date night... First dates, thousandth dates, last date, whatever. Amazing patio, great music(cheers to whoever auditions these people or trusts their mixed tape), great wine selection, and awesome food! I love their bruschetta's .
The service is speedy and low key, you don't have to worry about someone hovering, but when you need that next glass, they are there with a suggestion. Professional and knowledgeable.
The owners are great. I think every time I have been there(a lot) one of them has stopped by to say hi and make sure everything was great. I know this place has just transferred ownership, and MAN they are doing everything right. It was good when I first started going, and now it is GREAT!
Totally recommend to anyone looking to take a date to a classy place that is reasonably priced, where you can make it a long night if things are going well, and a short night if she sucks.
This place is a joke if they think they compare to any sort of respectable wine bar. If this comment offends you, feel free to pull down your pants and start crying now.
After looking over what I would consider the 'Cliffs Notes' version of a wine list (BS on calling yourself a wine cellar), we chose a bottle of the ONEHOPE Red Cab. I was happy to learn that half the proceeds went to the cure for Autism until i realized that the waitstaff could have used the money, as they all had some special needs of their own.
In an attempt to move past the mediocre start to the evening we moved on to the food menu. Â
The Tomato/Basil/Mozzarella bruschetta had no basil (wtf?), the Orzo and Shrimp starter lacked the red onion it so desperately needed to be a success and who in their right mind serves their pizza on oversized crackers? Just because you throw something 'fancy' on the menu like duck confit doesn't mean you have a license to lack on quality.
Thankfully the music became the highlight of the evening. If it weren't for the 2-man, live band playing a lively rendition of MyGirl in the corner, I don't know if we would have survived the evening ;)
Love MWC!!!
Went for an after dinner drink for my sisters birthday. We were greeted by the owner with a friendly smile. Katie was our server. She was very knowledgeable. I told her I wanted a Cab, and she brought me a lil piece of heaven. My sisters and I shared the cheese platter and it was more than enough for the 3 of us. The entire staff was super friendly. I will be returning to MWC for sure, whether it's for date nite or girls nite I can't wait to go back!! Thanks again Katie you were amazing!!!
If you like wine and awesome food - you MUST try My Wine Cellar. They have an awesome selection of vino, and an amazing menu. To boot, the staff and owners are wonderful people and make it a delight to come here.
My food favorites on the menu are the pizzas, a culinary masterpiece! And my favorite wine is the ONEHOPE Chardonnay - not only is it inexpensive and delish - but 50% of profits are donated to Breast Cancer charities.
Bottom line, amazing and affordable food + yummy wine + great people = A good time! :-)
It's kind of hidden in a small strip mall, but isn't everything in Phoenix? Â It's a very comfortable place to go with friends and family for a glass (or three) of wine and some simple food. Â Really nice selection of wine to drink and to buy and the wine menu changes often. Â My husband and I usually just have the pizza, but lately we've been adventuring on to other items like the bruschetta. Â They have wine tastings every week I believe and often have wine and food specials. Â For most of last summer they offered every glass of wine for only $5. Â This was a fantastic deal and we came back often for it. Â The back patio is so nice with views of the golf course. Â Inside there are tables and couch areas, so you have options for what's comfortable for you. Â
We use to live in Tempe, but we'd still make the trek over to My Wine Cellar/Lucy's Place. Â When we decided to move to Ahwatukee, we were so excited to find a home so close to My Wine Cellar.
I think this place is a great little neighborhood wine/beer place. I do think the food is overpriced, for what it is, but it's not bad. Usually when we go there we get the pizza and it's thin crust which my husband and I aren't crazy about. Usually one pizza is only big enough for one hungry person or two not so hungry people.
Mainly I like to go there get a few glasses of wine and hang with my husband.
It's down the street from where we live and it's cool that a little place like this is in the neighborhood.
I found this place and its tucked away in a little strip mall. Â It's intimate, personable, and has a "cheers" atmosphere to it. Â They sell wine by the glass and by the bottle, and the prices vary from reasonable to expensive. They also have a small section for wine knick knacks, like wine stoppers, etc. Â Selection is limited and small, prices are okay. Â They have some glassware as well, and some of it is really expensive...I saw a wine decanter for like $125!! Â yikes.
I reccomend this place for a variety of reasons. First, the staff is awesome, and are totally educated. Â Its a wonderfully relaxed enviroment, and its someplace you can go by yourself too, take a date, or just meet up with people for wine or beer. Â clean, nice etc. Â Its a wonderfully relaxing place to spend any evening.
The down side? Â Don't bother eating here. Â Stick to the wine when going. Â Food here, I think, is okay, and overpriced. Â Its a wine bar, not a resturant. Â Also, I think they lack variety in things other then wines, like glassware which you can get at Ikea or Walmart anyways.
Plus, the owner lady is always there. Â She has short hair and is rather loud. Â She knows her stuff tho.
My Wine Cellar is the retail half of Lucy's Place, which is the "wine bar." Together, they offer you a bit of everything - from a plethora of wine to purchase and take home to a menu that sells by the glass. Pair their chardonnay or pinot noir with a bruschetta or caprese salad appetizer, and you'll find yourself in palette nirvana.
The place boasts a cozy, off-the-beaten-path feel. You walk in and are immediately transported to a more relaxed, come-as-you-are, drink-as-much-as-you-want atmosphere that offers dining tables, comfy chairs and couches and a short bar. Inside the colors are true to wine bar standards - on the dark side, encouraging to just let your tense shoulders relax. Lucy's place is a delightful find - a hard throw away from the trendy places you'll find in strip malls or in popular Scottsdale locations. In fact, it's nowhere near Scottsdale, nor does it pretend to be anything except what it is - a wine bar that offers you a wide selection, impeccable service and an atmosphere you aren't quick to leave.
When I went, they had live acoustic music - a one man show playing the likes of Ryan Adams and Wilco. It was the perfect addition to a satisfying happy hour experience.
Plus, Lucy has a couple small TVs hanging in view, in case you need to catch the baseball scores (it so happened to be turned onto the Red Sox game).
I didn't want to leave. That in and of itself tells me Lucy's Place is a rare find. I'd give it 5 stars if it were in my neighborhood. It's a short trek southward, but definitely worth a regular visit if you're in the area or just in the mood for wine that'll satiate your palette, along with a relaxed atmosphere that'll assuage your workday woes.

Love it love it love it.
Whether you're looking for a fantastic bottle to take home or you want to munch on cheese and crackers while you drink and converse, My Wine Cellar has you covered. Â The retail portion of the restaurant is really excellent, the walls lined with a huge selection of reds and whites. Â
If you're intimidated by the selection or are a beginning wino, the restaurant offers "wine education" courses. Â My fiance and I attended a weekly "Wine 101" course a couple of years back. Â Each week, we sampled a different genre of wine including reds, whites, dessert wines, and champagnes. Â Also, each week included a guest speaker, usually a sales rep for a wine maker. Â Lots of fun and I learned a huge amount of information!
