Review content:
I was never much of a ""wine-bar"" person. I thought they were pretensious and full of Frasier-esque yuppies talking about tannins and bouquets with fake accents. Clearly, this place is different.\r
\r
I'm shocked that a previous user thought it appropriate to call Da Vine's winelist ""uninspired."" Since its opening last month, I've been back four times. The staff (I think there are only 4) are always helpful and genuinely interested in the customers--I've chatted with the owner and the waitress each time I've gone. In doing so, I've learned that the owner has spent time working on various vineyards in both Italy and Australia. Another time, wanting to try a new white, I asked my server for a recommendation. She brought me a glass of the Veltliner, promising me that I would love it or it was on her. It's an Austrian wine, she told me, which she had tasted for the first time during her recent studies in Vienna. Clearly, the winelist is anything BUT unispired! I've tried funky wines I'd never heard of--and there seems to be a story with each one. \r
\r
Still, though, the Red X (Cab and Syrah I think?) is my favorite, and they have beautiful cheese and olive plates. I've only had a few 'tastes' from the menu, but each time I am pleased with the care that has gone into my dishes. Everything, from the bread to the pickles, is made right there in the kitchen. \r
\r
I'm sorry (and indeed surprised) that a bad experience was had at Donna Da Vine--but then again, someone who makes unqualified class assumptions and character assessments in restaurant reviews is likely miserable anyway---meaning that he could be anywhere (even somewhere that meets his staunch stemware requirements) and still find something on which to blame his displeasure. But for the rest of you, Donna Da Vine is a fun spot and a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Pros: Relaxed and careful service. Great selections.
