"This friendly, welcoming wine bar on Montavilla’s main drag boasts an impressive 400-plus bottle collection from producers as close to home as the Pacific Northwest and as far afield as Portugal, with the international selection mainly focusing on European wine regions. Aimed at creating a comfortable environment where diners can relish and expand their wine knowledge sans judgment, Vino Veritas offers wine classes, community events like live music nights, and a low-key spot to grab a glass or split a bottle before catching a movie across the street at the Academy." - Zoe Baillargeon, Alex Frane
