Tucked into the industrial stretch of Fox St, Denver Wine Merchant feels like the wine shop you wish was in your neighborhood. This isn't a scene-y wine bar with a DJ and a line out front. It's a real bottle shop with a tasting counter, run by people who actually want to talk to you about what you're drinking. Come in not knowing what you want and leave with three bottles you didn't know you needed. The vibe is unpretentious and knowledgeable, good for a Tuesday night solo tasting or picking up something special before a dinner party. Regulars love it because the staff remembers their names and their palates. If you're the type who goes to Wim Hof Mondays and wants a low-key, adult night out that isn't a club, this is your spot.
