Neighbors

As of this writing, I'm the Duke of Neighbors...  I can't explain how happy that makes me for a variety of reasons including my sad sad pride, my late entry to the iPhone game, etc.  Whatever.  I just had to put this in writing before it vanished.  

ANYWAY - Neighbors is a great little wine bar.  They have a  very helpful staff that will recommend stuff for you and listen to you as you demonstrate your wine knowledge through explanation of what you like and want (see - myself).  As my wife, the Ladyhawk, mentions in her review, they have no problem with our baby (or shall I say toddler) and that's totally awesome when we want small plates in the early Ephraim-friendly evenings.

As for the wines, I'm no connoisseur, but they currently have a KILLER viognier on the by-the-glass menu that I could drink till the cows come home.

I never hang out in this area, but I had a massage in the neighborhood and wanted to have a glass of wine to relax beforehand. I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of Spanish wines...and then another glass so that I could REALLY relax :) Even though I wasn't too hungry, I ordered a meat and cheese plate because all of the ones going out looked oh-so scrumptious.
Everything was marvelous. There is a diverse selection of wines, but also a full bar if you are looking for something more stiff or prefer beer. The menu seemed to focus mostly on meats and cheeses, so it is more of an appetizer place, but there were a few paninis and salads on the menu as well if you are feeling famished.
The atmosphere is cozy. The place is small and everything is nice, but doesn't seem pretentious. The two people working were very helpful and kind. There is a small bar area where you can sit, or there are a few tables inside and a few on the patio. It looks like they have a garage-door style front-facing wall that can be opened on nice days. There were a surprising number of children there, which could have been a drawback for me, but none were screaming, so all was well. If you have kids, though, it seems to be just fine to bring them along.
In total, I spent $40 pre-tip for a flight, a glass of wine and a plate with two cheeses and a meat (I had to bring most of that home with me!). A bit expensive for one person, but I was feeling rather extravagant and it was completely worth it.

Wonderful wine and food! Everything we tried was great and there are a lot of great/ diverse options. The owners are wonderful too; super friendly and helpful! The atmosphere is great also with a lovely patio area. We'll be back again!
