Chez Phinney

I must say that this venue is an excellent choice for hanging out or enjoying a wine tasting event, and their cheese offerings are truly outstanding. I couldn't help but recall a few standout selections from Trader Joe's. While the concept of a dispenser for pouring wines is innovative and commendable, despite their rotating wine collection, I didn't find it particularly impressive.

The hosts and owner lady are always so warm and nice. We like that there isn’t too much pressure about how much to consume. The charcuterie is a nice add. Great place to do a double date or catch up with old friends!

Just found this new Wine Bar and I have to tell you it’s great! Owners Andrew and Julie are awesome and did a great job creating an inviting, cool ambiance. We had a Charcuterie Board and the Spanish nut mix and both were awesome! Great selection of wine which you get to pour yourself with a nifty card! Super fun and relaxing place to hang out. Definitely one of my new favorite spots!

Chez Phinney is an awesome wine bar with great people, wine, and vibes! We recently celebrated a special event here with a small group of close friends and loved the atmosphere. They made it super easy for us to gather a small group together - we had wanted to bring in easy dinner for our group and they opened up space in the back bar for us to have a bit of a food spread. With the way the wine bar is set up, it made for an awesome social vibe, making it easy for everyone to enjoy some great wine while socializing and celebrating! Thanks, Chez Phinney, for helping us celebrate in such a fun and memorable way!

They opened in October of 2021 and I wish I found them sooner! Close to home and a great quaint little spot for a night out. You walk in hand over a credit card and they give you a swipe card to put into the machine and you taste the wine at your own leisure. 1, 3 or 5 ounce pours. The prices are petty reasonable. Jolene helped us out with our wine selections and was very knowledgeable and friendly! They have wines from all over and I was inquiring about buying bottles and they don't sell the bottles and they have unique wines you won't be able to find anywhere else. They buy limited bottles. The selection gets changed up a lot they said. I like that a lot cause I love trying new wines! We met the owner Julie and she was so great to talk to. Very personable and we asked about renting the bar out for a private party. She said it was doable during the week. I'm excited to get a private party started for our next birthday event. They also have small bites and charcuterie. It looks very delicious so the next time I'm in I'll have to get it. Andrew the other owner was also there in the back bar making up the food. If there's no seating in the front area you can also sit in the back bar. They had the garage door open for a nice outdoor area. I had to try their aperol spritz cause it's my go to. It didn't disappoint! Grab your friends and family and head out for a night of wine drinking. You won't regret it!

A must stop if you are in the neighborhood. The staff is knowledgeable and make sure you want to come back for more. Self-serve wine creates an engaging way to sample a few or find the one. The large charcuterie board is perfect for two to share. Beer, cider and NA options are available, as well.

At the end of a three week Northwest vacation, my friend’s niece and Sister-in-law suggested we do a girl’s night at this great place where you get to taste different wines and fill your own glass. We loved the idea.

My friend’s niece, who lives within walking distance, beat us there and snagged a table for us. Good thing, too, because this place was hopping.

We went up to exchange our credit cards for our “wine card”, get our glasses and then head to the two cases each holding about 8 different wines. We could opt for a small taste, a 3 ounce pour, or a 5 ounce pour. Just insert your wine card and select the appropriate button.

I tried an “orange blend” and though I enjoyed it, I wanted to check out others before deciding on a glass.

And that’s when I discovered Kerloo, 2019 Majestic - a GMS blend. It was exactly what I wanted. I returned to the table and we all compared notes. Then we decided on a large charcuterie board with a wonderful array of cheeses, fruit, meats, crackers and even pickles. Just what we needed to allow us to enjoy a second glass of wine.

We had so much fun. The owners and chef were warm and welcoming. It has a wonderful vibe and to top it all off - great wine!

Great new spot where you get to pour your own wine (machines let you choose 1,3,or 5 oz pours). I love that they also have a few beers and light food options. Friendly and knowledgeable owners-a great addition to the neighborhood!

Such a great first visit, really sweet and accomodating staff/owners and amazing cheeses! The lemon dessert was so so good. The pour your own wine is also great and fun for a group who are all drinking at different paces. Can’t recommend it enough, will be back for sure 💖

Cutest little wine bar in Phinney! Big and regularly rotating selection of wines from all over the world. Tasty nibbles if you need them and a fun bistro atmosphere.

Such a cute space and amazing service! I loved the selection was great. We paid 60 before tip for 4 tastings, two half pours, and the smaller charcuterie board. We will definitely be back this summer!

Went here with friends for my birthday. Had a wonderful time. I like the dispenser concept because it allows you to serve yourself and have a "taster" size of any of the wines.

Incredible wine bar, with a beautiful rotating selection from around the world, all enjoyed in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent wine selection and fantastic atmosphere lend themselves to a great establishment. The atmosphere is cozy, comfortable and the staff is friendly.

No dining, just snacks. Serve yourself wine tasting! Great conversation with hostess!

My absolute favorite place to grab a drink in the area.

1. The owners are the most fun loving, genuine people who started this with a passion for wine and entertaining
2. The wine selection is eclectic and also well thought out. This is where I’d introduce people to wine and simultaneously intrigue someone who has a developed palette
3. The ambiance is warm, cozy and inviting. Easily a first date spot that you can get lost in conversation. Easily a regular spot to constantly find new things to try!

Ok, I’m done ranting.

The owners treat everyone like family, and don’t interrupt you at your table. The wine selection is fun for all tastes, and the snacks are perfectly sized and priced. My favorite part is how this can feel casual or classy. Perfect for a post-dinner date or last-minute Happy Hour with a friend!

What a lovely neighborhood place! Only 20 or so seats, but they have a sophisticated enclosed wine bar system so they can let you self-serve from more than 20 wines that rotate regularly. They’ve got extensive notes on the wines (an international mix, including a variety of whites and reds), and a very friendly (not over-bearing) willingness to help. Try a few 1 ounce pours to find your favorite, then settle in with a glass and a small bite or two!

So lucky this perfect wine bar opened in our neighborhood. Not only is it cosy, with great service and snacks, but the 'gadget factor' is a fun bonus. The self-serve wine machines make it easy to get a small sample of a wine that I wouldn't buy as a full bottle. They go out of their way to stock natural and/or women-owned wines as well - another bonus!

Spent a lovely evening at Chez Phinney! Friendly and welcoming service, delicious wines and nibbles, and beautiful space. Will definitely be back!
