Spanish wine bar & mercado with sherry flights, tinned seafood
"All things Spanish are at the heart of this Cass Avenue bar adjacent to La Feria tapas bar. Cata Vino features wine flights, sherries, and an impressive list of wines by the glass. The mercado is stocked with imported meats, cheeses, pantry staples and tinned seafood, in addition to bottled wine and sherry." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A Cass Corridor wine bar offering Spanish wine accessories such as a glass porrón—intended for communal pouring and ideal to pair with a bottle of Spanish sherry as a distinctive gift for an oenophile." - Brenna Houck
"An adjoining wine bar and market to a celebrated tapas restaurant, specializing in sherries and offering build-your-own charcuterie and cheese boards, tinned seafood, and other curated snack items." - Brenna Houck
"A Spanish wine bar sibling to a neighboring tapas restaurant that pairs sherry flights with tinned seafood at night while operating a daytime mercado that sells imported canned conservas." - Monica Burton
"Located next door to La Feria at 4130 Cass Ave, Cata Vino Mercado and Wine Bar opened Friday, December 14 as a sherry- and wine-focused sibling developed by La Feria partners Pilar Baron Hidalgo, Elias Khalil, and Naomi Khalil to celebrate Spanish dining culture and bring in imported snacks the Seville-born chef Pilar Baron Hidalgo misses from home. By day the 35-seat space doubles as a market selling regional Spanish cheeses, cured meats, high-end canned seafood, Manzanilla olives, and wine to-go; by night it functions as a casual wine bar with seating around the bar, at tables, and along the window sills, wooden wine cases lining the bar, cut barrels on the walls displaying styles of sherry, and metal wine racks made by a local artist. The menu highlights wine — a rotating list of reds and whites sold by the glass or bottle and a core selection of seven sherry styles — with $18 flights to sample three wines or sherries; there are five cocktails and a small kitchen offering build-your-own charcuterie and cheese boards and tapas, including Manzanilla olives stuffed with anchovies, tinned seafood, and Ibérico ham. Customers can grab a drink while waiting for a table at La Feria or stay for a post-dinner nightcap; hours are 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Monday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–midnight Friday–Saturday (closed Sunday)." - Brenna Houck
