Denver, COWine Bars

A Latina-owned natural wine bar that opened in 2025 on East Colfax, pouring an all-natural, low-intervention list with non-alcoholic options alongside small plates. Light and unpretentious, it reads as a neighborhood room rather than a wine-nerd hideaway, with a rotating by-the-glass list built for exploring.

A curated Berkeley room from owner Jenn Feinstein, who oversaw Sunstone Vineyards in Santa Barbara County, pouring boutique organic and natural wines by glass, bottle, and themed flight. It leans toward guided tasting over bottle-list browsing, with flights built to walk drinkers through a region or grape.

Opened by a group of French friends in Uptown, a French-American wine bar built on classic and lesser-known French bottles alongside American selections. It brings a genuine Parisian-cafe sensibility to the neighborhood, staying small and conversational, more cafe than bar.

A newer bar from the Pon Pon team in Capitol Hill pouring farmer-focused, naturally made wines, including a final vintage from a closing Colorado winemaker, alongside a small sake list. A tightly curated, personality-driven pour list, it stays small and leans on the staff's own enthusiasm.

Wine director Chris Oakley runs a frequently changing, food-pairing-focused list in Whittier, spanning a wide price range, with staff trained to walk guests through it bottle by bottle. Approachable depth is the whole idea, and the kitchen sends out plates built to match what is open.
