"Grape geeks unite at this alleyway RiNo retreat, where the extensive selection is rife with natural, organic, and biodynamic small-production finds, each cooler than the last: Extra-brut Pinot Blanc Champagne or sparkling rosé of Nerello Mascalese from Sicily’s Mt. Etna? Georgian Khikhvi or Ligurian Pigato? How about a Mencía not from Spain but Columbia Gorge, Oregon, or a blend of Malbec and Pinot Noir from Colorado’s own West Elks AVA? The list literally goes on and on, and Noble Riot’s staff is well-versed in it all — while serving up tinned-fish boards and buckets of fried chicken to absorb every last drop." - Ruth Tobias
