kazimierz

the place has a dream-like quality, or maybe that's just thewinetalking. it seems deliberately designed to be discovered without announcimg itself. despite the hidden entrance, everyone knows this place. sexy, informed staff. good music. greatwinegeekeru.

i don't normally take the time to write a review but i feel this is necessary. thewineselection would be just okay of it were a run of the mill restaurant but for a place that sells itself as awinebar is far below par.

when asked for a dry, earthy, tanin heavywinethe waitress immediately recommended the most expensivewineon the menu. both of the wines served were dry but not at all earthy or heavy in tannins.

when food was ordered is was acceptably priced but very disappointing, it was quite bland. for $10 a plate by no means was the food bad but with so many other fantastic options nearby it's a bit unjustifiable.

the decor is unfortunately lacking as well, while there are a number of what i would describe as cheap features a representative example is a fake fireplace made of the same fake stone the interior walls are coated with

in summary this establishment is far overpriced for what you get and it's fairly cheap.

the truth is inside. in my opinion, this is the best place for late night jazz in arizona. it's a classywinebar with a large selection of wines. i love the atmosphere inside as it comes to life after you pass through it's doors (if you can find it). comfy sofas, dark corners and candlelights give it a feel of a hiddenwinecave. they serve up small plates of food from the neighboring cowboy ciao.

try the basque flatbread!. it's pricey for what it is - 2 glasses of wine, 3 cheeses & 1 flatbread came to $80. however, the basque flatbread was delicious andwinechoices limited, but good. don't bother with the cheese plate.

for a greatwinebar / live music experience, i recommend kazimierzwinebar (impressivewineselection – i had a white port over ice (!), great atmosphere and awesome jazz).

one of my favorites. i love everything about this place. from the hidden back entrance, cozy velvety sofas, to the extensivewinelists and wonderful cheese platters. this is how awinebar should be. everytime we are in scottsdale this is always one of our destinations.

incrediblewineselection. a binder bursting with excellentwineselections from all over the world. we also had the fresh parm pizza, which was awesome.
