Fix Wine Bar + Restaurant

Overview

Named sommelier of the year in 2012, Stu Knox — owner of Wine Bar + Restaurant — is known as the wine whisperer. Whenever a sommelier is searching for a new wine or even wants to be re-introduced to a grape variety they might have forgotten (like Stu's dedication to cabernet franc during winter), they head to Fix Wine Bar + Restaurant. You'll see him running the floor in his signature red sneakers, pouring tasters of curios out of a fancy contraption called a coravin which allows him to give you a taste of wine without actually opening the bottle.

In all seriousness though, he's actually the first to remind you not to take wine too seriously, because first and foremost vino is meant to be fun. Located in the heart of the city, Fix Wine Bar + Restaurant has everything a good wine bar needs: delicious wine served by someone who loves talking about it and is happy to guide you through new experiences.

The venue boasts a modest 60 seats and serves lunch and dinner with a focus on quality seasonal produce. Think classics like a veal shnitty, cheeseburger and a selection of premium steaks.
