Deaf Monty's Wine

We have walked by Deaf Monty's dozens of times and had always wanted to check it out, but never seemed to get around to it. So, we were pleasantly surprised when they were a stop on a food tour we took recently!They are in a beautiful old Victorian home with lots of charm. The hosts were very personable and told us all about their business and how they got started. We look forward to going back and hanging out for a little longer next time.

I've only been here once but would like to give it another try. They are supposed to have a light food offerings but the evening I went you could only get crackers, 1 cheese and olives. I was mainly interested in food. But the wine selection seems big and diverse. I had a Sauvignon Blanc and the different size pours you can get were nice to try more than one. The decor and feel is definitely that of an old bed and breakfast, which this place operates as. It was neat to see unique and old furniture but most of the seating was impractical for going with a group. Not good for large groups because the sound really carries

Time to go beyond the beer and cocktails. If you want some wine, try Deaf Monty's. They have tastings. It's also in a bed and breakfast. The experience is very pleasant, not stuffy. It's an unassuming wine shop that can be easy to miss. It's in the same building as Innport Da'Vino. This is a nice bed and breakfast if you're into that kind of thing. It's a pretty good neighborhood. The wine tastings are about $5 a glass. I had a red wine. I'm not sure about which one, but it was one on display. The wines are usually about $10 to $20 a bottle. It has a few snack options like Gouda and possibly other cheese. They also have treats for dogs. It's not pretentious like many wine tastings are. People here are usually friendly. There's nice rooms with some tables.

This was fun .. yet a bit odd. Ok we tried to go to Thai 9 but realized it wasn't open for another 30 minutes .. another couple read the sign the same time we did and we heard them say let just try the wine bar nearby. That sounded more interesting than waiting in the car so we also went there. The wine bar is also an Inn. It was a fairly cute place and the lady was very nice and patient to help. You could do it a few ways ... buy some samples or just buy a glass. The place is names Deaf Monty and had several pics of a small white dog .. and there was a small white dog at her feet. I inquired if that was Deaf Monty ... she said Deaf Monty had passed to the rainbow gate .. this was like Monty 3 :) We got some wine and went in the other room to sit and enjoy it. The other couple did the same and we did some cross table chatting. They were not from the area and had some questions. We were all having a nice time chatting among ourselves when the other girl notice a dog in a small dog bed up on a high shelf. I had seen similar fake battery powered cat and dog that breathed and gave my thoughts .. the owner spoke up from the other room and said that was the original Monty. Hmm keeping stuffed dog in your wine bar/ inn??? huh .. seemed more than a bit odd. gave us all a uncomfortable feeling and changed the vibe of the place. I would be willing to give it another try .. over the original shock about the taxidermy thang .. still think that would prefer she kept the dead one at home :)

Great meeting the owner. Nice selection of the featured 10 wines by the glass for each day. Classical music playing softly. Community style seating.

What a wonderful local spot to chat up the owner, enjoy the company of locals and the B&Bs guests while enjoying a great selections of wine by the pour (2 oz) or glass - if you like wine, make this a must-stop when in the Oregon District

We were staying at the Innport Da'Vino B&B and since the owner, Leslie, also hosts this wine bar on most evenings, we decided to go. She is so enthusiastic, friendly, nice, and everything else that you will have a good time tasting the wines she is showcasing for the week. We actually managed to go twice in one week (and we were on bicycles!) This is a small, fun, friendly, local, neighborhood place.

This is a really cute little wine bar and shop. It is just slightly off the beaten path being around the corner from the main business strip. So if you want a quiet place for a glass of wine that isn't crowded with the usual bar crowds, this is a good pick. Good selection of wines by the glass and an impressive array of bottles. The little fluffy dog theme is cute - bar snacks are served in a paw-printed doggie bowl and there is even a "Sippy Pup Club" for frequent visitors. A nice addition to the historic district.

I met friends here during the August First Friday event and we shared a bottle of merlot. The proprieters were eager to accommodate us, the wine was wonderful yet very reasonably priced, and the setting was delightful.

Came here right before closing and got what I needed. Definitely a diamond in the rust in the gem city. Good wine. Cool spot.
