Parcht Bottleshop + Bites

We were walking around Taos and wanted to grab a small bite to eat to kill some time. Parcht, a wine bar with light bites, was absolutely perfect for this. We ordered the build your own board - I can't pass up a charcuterie board - with two cheese and two meats. If I remember correctly we got a delicious duck pate, capicolla, brie, and another type of cheese. Olives, mustard, and cornichons (small pickles) were served with the charcuterie. I also ordered a glass of the Vietti Moscato as I prefer sweeter wines. Everything was great. I cannot remember the gentleman's name who served us as we sat at the bar but he was fantastic and gave us some great recommendations for Taos and Santa Fe. I would definitely drink (and dine) at Parcht again if I'm in the area!

Always a great little hole in the wall, we enjoy going there every once in a while. I'm not a wine drinker, but they do have several beers on tap. Service is quick, we always get the cheese and meat board with warm olives!

This little bar was such a serendipitous find. My sister and I were looking for an easy to find, close to our hotel, place to eat. We wanted small plates, comfort, good food and good wine in a friendly atmosphere. We found it all here. Such a gracious welcome, no pressure, just "here is what we have, take a look." We ordered the bread and dipping olive oil and warm olives to begin, then saw the "build your own charcuterie board", so we did. It was so good, wish we could have added a salad but we were too full. The wines we chose were lovely. Our host was attentive and friendly, but left us to enjoy our dinner. Big recommendation!!

If you are looking for a quiet place to talk, have some wine, and eat some delicious food then this is the place. It was a bit of a challenge he to find it but like a good secret we were pleased we kept up the effort. The service was excellent and we even bought a bottle of wine to bring home.

We ordered a meat and cheese board and the pears with blue cheese and NM honey...absolutely delicious. Table favorite was the cheese with truffle.

Really enjoyed this wine bar. It was my first stop in town after driving up from Albuquerque and checking in to my hotel. I deliberated over some places I had bookmarked but wasn't hungry enough for a full dinner. I ordered a delicious balsamic kale salad with beets, goat cheese and Pepitas plus a charcuterie board with locally-baked bread, salmon mousse, duck rillette, salami and Gouda cheese, all carefully sourced (curated?) from providers around the U.S. and the world. I like Spanish wines so tried an Albariño and a Tempranillo. The salad with the balsamic dressing was the perfect thing to compliment all the filling bread and rich charcuterie choices.Ralph (see photo) is a native Taosian with family on both side that have been here for hundreds of years. He was not only knowledgeable about his food and wine but had many recommendations for other places in town and stories about the history of wine varietals. A very fun experience and a recommended first stop in town to get the lay of Taos!By the way, Parcht has the same ownership as The Gorge located on the second floor above Parcht. I could hear the roar of a busy restaurant as I walked by the stairs. Walking into Parcht was relatively quiet, with people sitting at tables. I sat at the bar where I got to soak up the good conversation and 411 about what to do in town.

Wonderful selection of wines, meats, and cheeses for an afternoon taste excursion. They also have a nice beer and cider selection if that interests you. Exceptional wine knowledge and true hospitality of service. Really enjoyed our visit.

Great small bites, pear and cheese smoked kielbasa, salads, flatbread. Love the board selections for cheese and charcuterie- always great selections Lovely, relaxing place to have a glass of wine, or beer, with friendly service.

My husband and I went to one of there monthly Tasting Dinners. Food and paired wines were quite good. Reservations are a must for these dinner, seating at tables or at the wine bar are limited.

We came here on a weekend trip to ski a little and happened across this wonderful establishment. From the second we walked in the ambiance was as perfect as it could get, we were greeted immediately with soft and warm welcomes. The service was nothing short of incredible and prompt, if you ever find yourself in town for a weekend this is a very great way to spend your night.
