Editorial Review for Silver Lake Wine – by Tara de Lis
In Short
Stenciled wine bottles and a trio of wooden tables house this neighborhood shop's ever-changing artisanal collection, which is handpicked by Campanile wine director and James Beard Award nominee George Cosette and his partners. Serious collectors procure pricier selections alongside scruffy Spaceland denizens seeking bottles from the less-than-$15 table by the door. A small wine bar is the scene of weekly themed events, and the unpretentious atmosphere makes even novices feel welcome.

User Reviews for Silver Lake Wine

silver lake wine is a fantastic find in this area! the wine admirers they employ do not hesitate to answer any question, and they pour without pretensiousness. for this reason, they are quite busy on monday nights but rest assured, they have also expanded their bar to include more space for the masses. during the afternoons when they aren't throwing the best wine tasting around, they still offer informative help that will help you find the best wine for your dinner - probably one you can't find anywhere else but one that is so delicious you wish it could pour out of a faucet. a definite must for anyone!!
Pros: wines hard to find anywhere else, genuinely helpful and happy staff

It's not the biggest selection of wine. That honor probably goes to the Wine House. But it's all hand-selected, and the guys (and gal) who work there know what they are doing. One of them used to be the sommelier at Campanile! The level of customer service is great. They really work with your tastes and price range to find something right. I like that the table by the door is all under $15, and the rest is organized by region. There are also some nice premium wines as well. They are expanding to be a little bigger and will soon carry hard liqour as well. They do really nice tastings throughout the week. It's a good way to meet people.
Pros: great customer service, parking lot, wine tastings
Cons: busy on monday/thursday nights
