Bottlehouse Like Add to a List
Bottlehouse is an elegant wine bar and “shoppe” located upstairs from Madrona’s urban winery, Wilridge (which makes special Bottlehouse blends). The motto: “Dwell, Drink, Be Well,” which sounds soothing. The place was made with 80 percent reclaimed materials (including beams from a Capitol Hill duplex as seating and Montana barn wood) and focuses on local producers. They've also got two covered and heated patios, including their clear covered "greenhouse" patio and their outdoor "winegarden."

Champagne Diner Like Add to a List
With details like aluminum-edged tables and vinyl upholstery, Champagne Diner evokes a cool teen TV hangout by way of a 1980s new-wave music video, a romantic vision in jewel-like turquoise and faded mauve. The Interbay restaurant in the former space of Citizen Six is the brainchild of Bryn Lumsden, a veteran barkeep and former Fleet Foxes member who founded the impeccable Pioneer Square cocktail den Damn the Weather Like Add to a List . (The name is an obscure Seinfeld reference, from the "Champagne Video" store that made a cameo in multiple episodes.) And of course, with a name like Champagne Diner, wines play a key role in the festive and celebratory atmosphere. Though Lumsden hesitates to throw around the buzzword "natural wine" because of its faddishness, the thoughtfully curated wine list is indeed all-natural.

La Dive
Like Add to a List This hip Capitol Hill bar and bottle shop named for a famed wine festival in France offers a wide selection of natural wine, with a food menu of Eastern European-inspired nosh like potato pelmeni dumplings and sardines on toast. Try one of the alternative frozen wine slushies such as “frojalais” or “friesling,” or throw caution to the wind and go for one of their “Chambongs,” an ingenious beer bong-like device that allows you to pour expensive fizzy wine (or Miller High Life or White Claw) down your gullet as efficiently as humanly possible. Don’t forget to check out the bathroom and take a selfie in the 360-degree mirror—The Stranger named it one of Seattle’s “best bathrooms for fucking” for a reason.

Le Caviste Like Add to a List
This Denny Triangle gem from Seattle wine mind David Butler serves up exactly the type of sidewalk bistro fare you might find yourself noshing on after a long morning spent traipsing around Paris. There’s always an ample selection of cheese and charcuterie boards, the stuff on those boards is always amazing, and the salads and specials that accompany the core offerings are similarly on point. You can consistently find beef tartare, poisson en papillote (fish in paper), and salad with warm chèvre, and will occasionally be treated to pleasant surprises like choucroute garnie. As wonderful as the compact menu is, it’s really all about the wine. Longtime sommelier Butler knows wine and, more importantly, he knows how to source it. Le Caviste is your chance to get stuff by the glass you won’t find elsewhere, as they usually have at least a dozen glass pours on offer. TOBIAS COUGHLIN-BOGUE
