“Some places you discover. Others you return to — year after year, like a ritual you'd never dare break. Counter Reformation in Palm Springs is the latter, and every visit only deepens the devotion.

Dark, intimate, and dripping with atmosphere, this is a wine bar that takes the craft seriously without taking itself too seriously. The vibe is effortlessly cool — candlelit and unhurried, the kind of room where time loosens its grip and conversation flows as freely as the wine.

Speaking of which — Britney. The woman is a gift. As sommelier, she curates this list with a connoisseur's precision and a true lover's instinct. She remembers what you liked, anticipates what you'll adore, and somehow always lands on the exact pour you didn't know you needed. Her knowledge is vast, but it's her warmth that truly elevates the experience. In Britney's hands, every glass tells a story.

Year after year, Counter Reformation earns its place as one of our most cherished stops in the desert. It never disappoints. It only gets better.

See you again next year.“

“5 star service and killer flavors. Great job!! Weekly stop for sure now“

“We had a wonderful dinner the food and the service was wonderful. However, we made reservations for a birthday celebration and we seated at a very small table in the bar instead of a booth. It would've been nice to know that as neither I don't drink and didn't like being right next to bar while I celebrated my birthday. They asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside we said inside, but didn't assume we will be sitting in the bar. We didn't come for happy hour. We came for a celebratory meal for $150. I would've appreciated being sad at a booth other than that fabulous food and great service.“

“great service, friendly staff fun atmosphere“
