When Chris Hsi and Jennifer Scott met in 2003 over a glass of Sancerre, they didn’t know they were toasting to their future. Fast forward more than a decade, and the husband and wife have teamed up to bring Taste Wine Bar & Kitchen to the corner of Summer and Devonshire Streets.

The urban tasting room offers wines by the glass, bottle, or flight along with a menu of wine-friendly small plates perfect for sharing and pairing. Grab a table with friends and order a cheese & charcuterie board. Or, take a seat at the winding counter where an expert Wine Consultant will guide you through different tasting options from the reserve list. There’s even a space for private events, seminars, and classes. Love what you taste? Wines and specialty foods are available for purchase at the Common Vines shop just across the street. Ask about the complimentary delivery service or sign up for the loyalty program to receive special rewards.

“We believe the more you taste, the more you learn, which is why we created an experience that makes exploring wine fun, approachable, and memorable. We’ve been living in the Downtown neighborhood since 2007 and have watched the area grow into a really exciting place to live and work,” Jennifer says. “We wanted to be a part of that growth and create a warm and inviting space for our neighbors to relax and enjoy unique wines.”

To help begin your tasting journey, Chris and Jennifer are inviting Millennium Tower residents for an exclusive experience in their new space. Be on the lookout for a La Vie event at Taste Wine Bar & Kitchen this February.
