The Wine Cellar
The Wine Cellar
Across from the ivy-clad, cobbled path that is the entrance to The Winds Café is their darling, the Wine Cellar. Bright, airy and always featuring a smart wine selection of “high quality wines emphasizing independent winemakers with artisan spirits and Old World wine values,” the Wine Cellar also carries regional brews like Rhinegeist Brewery from Cincinnati and Yellow Springs Brewery. While drink is the focus, they get it extra right with local flavors to complement the bottle you bring home. A Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream case waits for your after-dinner pint of cream. Local honeycomb, Marcona almonds, decadent chocolate and a selection of beans and rice from Zursun Idaho Heirloom Beans are for the picking. At daybreak, the little wineshop delivers fresh loaves of bread, cookies and baked goods from The Winds Café kitchen. The word is they always sell out and loyalists like to reserve their bread ahead of time. And they host special dinners and events in the loft space upstairs. Looking for a specially catered event with wine pairings? The Winds Wine Cellar may be just the right spot. - Colleen Leonardi
