"Leah Jackson, owner of Niche Wine Bar, has helped Vancouverites find their favorite bottle of wine for more than a decade. In the past 11 years, she’s tasted over 7,000 wines for her lounge-y downtown space; there, she offers more than 300 wines by the bottle and dozens of pours by the glass that regularly rotate. For summer, rosés like a 2020 Muga Rioja and a cabernet franc rosé from Domaine Audebert & Fils in the Loire Valley fill the wine list. Wine-friendly charcuterie plates, sandwiches, and Alsatian tarte flambeés are available for indoor or outdoor dining." - Rachel Pinsky
