malbec + outdoor patio at vino = love

This is a great place to relax. the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, but not to the point of overwhelming. they are knowledgeable but you definitely don't feel like you are among a bunch of wine snobs. we had an excellent time there and were very happy. also very good prices

god, i love this place and everything about it. the only thing they need is to add more outside tables, because there's always a wait on nice days. perfect sunday afternoons with wine, friends, and the dog.

My friends and I went to V-NO on a Wednesday night for HH and ended up spending over 3 hours there. We went through 4 bottles of wine, two cheese plates and two truffle plates and only spent about $20 a person for 5 people (not to shabby). The Desiree chocolate wine was divine! The owner, Mark, was social and helpful, but not over-attentive, which was awesome because there weren't a lot of people there. I love the concept of separating the wines by taste instead of type and the fact that the bottles on the wall all have written descriptions about them. It's fun to pick a bottle off the wall and drink it right there. Great place, more people need to know about it.

I visited V-No last night and enjoyed myself. It was pretty empty on a rainy Wednesday night, but I think that is why I enjoyed it. I was able to talk to one of the owners, Kristina Bachman, about wine and her vision for her store. There is a small bar and a few tables (outside seating available as well) and you can buy wine by the glass or by the bottle. All bottles were under $30 and there is a $7.00 corkage fee. The wine selection is good in the main room. There is a cellar that has more expensive bottles, but I did not visit that room last night. It's a friendly little wine bar and I will be returning.

If you are looking for a good glass of wine and a light snack, V-NO is the place. Although the bar is small, the range of wine is vast. The fare is light - we ordered the cheese plate which was surprisingly large for two with a variety of quality cheeses, and the roasted seasoned nuts. When the weather is good, the outdoor seating is a great place to end the day. A nice addition to the bars around fells point.
