Hand-picked wines, artisan cheeses, cured meats, and microbrews
"Nothing makes a dry night more irritating than trying to order fizzy water in a bar full of screaming people. You’ll never have that problem at Bottlehouse, the renovated home-turned-wine-bar in Madrona. Here, you have options like housemade thyme iced tea and persimmon vanilla soda. Both pair well with the snacks, too, like charcuterie plates and baguettes with ganache and chevre." - aimee rizzo
"You originally intended to do girls’ night in, but the friend who was supposed to host is in a fight with her passive aggressive roommate over dishwasher duty. Come to Bottlehouse. It’s a wine bar and shop in a renovated home, so it’s easy to get comfortable spending some quality time with a few bottles and a meal’s worth of nuts, cheese, cured meats, and baguette sandwiches. And there’s a 99% chance no one will notice that you’re wearing slippers." - aimee rizzo
"A drinks-and-light-bite session at Bottlehouse feels like a visit with a friend, mainly because this place is in a residential-looking house. But it differs from (most) real houses in that there’s a cheesemonger to select food pairings for you as you swirl your wine glass pretending to know about terroir. There’s a great patio, too, so keep this in mind for summer meetups." - aimee rizzo
"The Deal: $1 Off Beer And Cider Cans, $1 Off Featured Cocktails, $12 Glasses Of Wine, $8 Vermouth On Tap, Discounted Snacks Take full advantage of the Happy Hour cheese board selected by Bottlehouse’s resident cheesemonger—a profession we've considered more than once. And even though this is a serious wine bar, the slushies are not to be overlooked." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"This adorable craftsman in Madrona has been holding down the fort in this category for years. And sure, you could give the in-house cheesemonger free rein to go nuts on a plank. But there’s no need to choke down Époisses De Bourgogne for dinner. On the full plates section, you can score a $32 steak, $16 crock of mac and cheese, or even some $23 risotto (add Dungeness crab for $9, you wild little minx). And since you’re here for serious wine too, order a taste or a glass." - aimee rizzo
