Uvaggio Wine Bar (CLOSED)

Owner Craig DeWald is serious about vino—he traded a job in corporate America to open his own wine bar—but his approach is wholly playful, as revealed by Uvaggio’s menu. Pick from full-bodied whites in the “Large and In Charge” section, spring for a “Sweety Pie” dessert wine or sample a variety during Saturday’s afternoon tastings. While food comes second, it’s certainly not an afterthought, evidenced by dishes such as handmade gnocchi and roasted cauliflower, which enhance the oenophile experience. Head Wine-O Heath Porter (managing partner) and chef Tanner Gil ensure both the selection and the food pairings are on point.
