Flight organizes both wine and food into comparative pours and plates, turning a Downtown dinner into a structured tasting without requiring a single large commitment. Memphis Magazine recognizes its wine list directly. Use a wine flight to compare regions or grapes, then mirror that approach with the smaller food portions. The format is especially useful for two diners who want variety while still keeping each pairing deliberate.

Bari's enoteca identity is inseparable from its regional Italian cooking, with a deep Italian wine selection supporting cheese, seafood, pasta, and restrained plates. The magazine's poll recognizes that wine program directly. Ask for a bottle or glass that fits the food rather than choosing wine in isolation, and begin with cheese or a smaller plate. The exact object also appears in the Italian list.

Hen House was conceived as an East Memphis wine bar, with bottles, glasses, cocktails, and shareable food shaping a social room rather than a formal dinner sequence. The Memphis Flyer covered the concept before opening at the same Mendenhall address that remains operational. Ask the staff for a less familiar glass, then add a few table-friendly plates. The current Google name is simply Hen House, which the slug preserves.
