Noticed this wine bar while eating at More across the street, and decided to go in for a night cap last night with the lady. Wow! Worst wine bar “De Vine” ever in my life. There is no listing for this place, no website.

I asked him to surprise me with any cocktail and the drink he made tasted like I was kissed by honey and citrus. Then I ordered a chocolate cocktail that was like drinking from a chocolate fountain. I’ve literally never had anything like it! 10/10 no...
