"With only a couple of posters on the walls, two communal tables, and a few chairs scattered on the sidewalk, Voodoo Vin feels like a no-name Parisian cafe that a local sent you to with the qualifier, “No one knows about this place—it’s great.” This quaint Virgil Village wine bar has an impressive collection of 400 bottles and a menu of simple small plates that are ideal for a snacky dinner with someone you met through a work event or a low-stakes date. Perhaps most importantly though, it’s only about a three-minute drive off the Vermont exit on the 101. " - Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins
