Not sure how this place gets such a good score. We had a fairly measly and uninspiring charcuterie plate with two tiny bits of cheese and some salami for $43. Then a tiny flatbread that if you produced at home you'd be disappointed with. The meatballs were the only thing that were ok. Accompanied by a non-alcoholic 'wine' that was pink and tasted vaguely of mineral water. Then a glass of red wine -grenache- that was stalky and characterless. $88 very badly spent.

We came in yesterday afternoon to start off our long weekend and our server, Mali, was just so fabulous! She was very knowledgeable and guided us through the wine list, suggesting the best options, even let us try a sample before we decided! It complimented our charcuterie board perfectly! She was so warm and attentive. It made our evening very special. We will be back

Aillen is the best person on the staff she has the best customer service on the planet
We had such a great experience at The Wine Bar.! Aileen gave us excellent customer service-she was so knowledgeable and friendly. She took the time to recommend the perfect wine and food pairings for our group, and everything she suggested was spot on. It made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for Aileen if you visit! 🍷✨

The dining experience presented several areas of concern, starting with noticeably sluggish service throughout the meal. Additionally, the assigned room felt unconventional, contributing to a less-than-ideal ambiance. Furthermore, the pricing of the wine list was significantly inflated, raising questions about value. This disparity between cost and quality unfortunately detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal.
Price point are overrated overpriced! You're paying for a 10$ bottle 5x or more lmao!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable dining experience thanks to Dale, who went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Dale had carefully curated the entire experience.
He expertly paired the perfect ambiance with the right music, setting the ideal tone for a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. The food, which was already exceptional, was matched by a thoughtful pairing of flavors that complemented the mood and style of the evening. Dale’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the service, from the timing of courses to the seamless integration of the musical backdrop.
It’s rare to encounter someone who truly understands the art of creating a cohesive and memorable experience like Dale does. His commitment to ensuring every detail was just right made this an experience I won’t forget, and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining and ambiance experience.
Highly recommended—Dale’s dedication to excellence is truly exceptional!
I’ve been to the wine bar a few times and every time the experience has been amazing. I’m from Vancouver and every time I visit Calgary I make sure to visit the wine bar because the service, wine and food is exceptional. The staff and Dale have catered to our needs and requests. We requested a wine tasting and they delivered every time. Thank you Dale and team for making each experience so memorable!! 10/10 recommend this spot if you’re looking for a good time.
This spot has the best service, the team goes above and beyond! Such cute vibes and great wine. Would definitely go back!
