Wine Sense

Wine Sense is small, but that’s a good thing, because you can feel confident that owner Samanta Ettore has vetted every single bottle on display. Don’t want any part in the picking? Grab one of the tailored-to-the-season wine six-packs she puts together each month. Ettore also holds public tastings from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, and arranges private tastings upon request.
