"Apt 115 feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s home. It's located at the bottom of an apartment complex, in a cozy, remodeled studio—fitting given their focus on small producers and low-intervention wines. You could just as easily arrive dressed up for a nice date night, or pop in for a quick drink after work to enjoy something from their rotating selection of 10 wines by the glass or a list that spans over 400 bottles from across six continents. There's also a food menu with small plates and snacks." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
