Whired Wine Window

Randomly stopped in for a pre-game drink. TL;DR we came back for a post-game drink.I recognized very little on the wine list but after a short quiz we found two hits. One new world and one old. With the rain outside and warmth in a glass inside we had a great time. Everyone was friendly. This a great spot before an event at G1 but we will be back in between those too.

I stopped in post work and absolutely fell in love with this charming spot. Being right across from the Capitol is a built in advantage, sure but they go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your time here with great wine and great small bites. This is the perfect place to unwind after a long day or during your lunch break. They've really done a great job making the patio feel like their own space. I will be coming back here quite a bit!

This is a wonderful wine bar in Sacramento. Came here on a rare date with my wife. It's located across from the Capitol Building, in the portico of the historic Senator Office Building. You order at the outdoor counter. Choice of flatbreads, sandwiches, salads and other apps. Big wine list and local beers. About a dozen tables well spaced out in the shade. Very relaxing vibe, unpretentious. There was a singer/guitarist performing mellow tunes the evening we went. The fig and prosciutto flatbread was a great mix of savory and sweet. We even went back to the counter to order dessert. Don't forget to peak inside the lobby of the Office Building to get a glimpse of the historic space.

So my wife had this place bookmarked on her yelp so I decided to take her out to this place. When we got there, we had to find a table ourselves. When we sat down we had a server at our table fairly quickly. The server helped my wife select a wine but forgot all about me lol but she was friendly, however the environment is for older people Who just likes to wined down and have a glass wine or beer and enjoy themselves. It's very low-key, the only bad thing is that they have only one bathroom. We ordered the charcuterie board and the grilled blue cheese. The grilled blue cheese came with a Cesar salad and both the salad and the sandwich were a bit too salty for my liking, but the wife enjoyed it. The charcuterie board was good and everything paired well.

I was pleasantly surprised with Whired. We arrived around 9 pm on a Friday and they had a live jazz guitarist playing. It's quite small and intimate. It was not crowded but the main groups there were of the older crowd, I'm no spring chicken, just don't expect this to be a hipster hangout. We were seated and our waitress offered some wine selections since I am a sweet white wine drinker and I noticed they had no moscato or Riesling. Her recommendation was perfect and I found a new wine to enjoy. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie board and the grilled blue cheese sandwich. Let me start by saying I am a prosciutto and blue cheese snob! Their prosciutto fell short and their blue cheese was very mild. They did not have honey but offered a fig jam that was comparable. But it's a wine bar, focus is wine! Which they had a good selection of.

My wife and I went in Sunday night. We were out bar hopping. This is a nice little spot close to the Golden one center. They have outdoor seating and the inside seating is cozy. My wife tried the Paso Robles cab and I had the Argentina Malbec. Both we delicious. We had their fig and prosciutto flatbread with the wine. It paired well with the wine. At the end the host offered use a tasting of their new release wine. Very nice of him. It was well balanced and would go great with some red meat. I really enjoyed it. Smooth, a little fruit forward with a quick finish. The service was excellent and the staff was friendly. I would definitely go back.

My first experience here absolutely made me want to come back. This place feels like it belongs tucked away in my little neighborhood a mile over in midtown instead of right across from DOCO and I loved it! It's a very relaxed environment, not touristy or pretentious and the owner, John, is someone I'd like to watch a game with while I sat at the bar. He put the Giants game on as I was leaving so I'll be back to watch and sip. They have a good happy hour with a mix and match wine flight available and some small bites. I didn't get any nibbles tonight but had the flight with 1 red: Primitivo & 2 whites: Sancerre & Vino Verde. I liked all 3 and elevated to have a glass of the Verde on HH for $7 after my flight. I came with 4 others and they all shared in my sentiment that we should come again.

Whired wine was amazing. I thought I already posted my review but I guess somehow it didn't go through. Everyone was friendly. The food and wine was amazing. I will definitely be back once life goes back to normal.

I can't relate to the other reviews I see here. There was patio seating and window service. I was told there was no indoor space, they didn't have a menu of any kind ("we do things orally here"), and they only accepted Venmo or Zelle for payment. Additionally, the only employee I could see could not be bothered to take out their earbuds while talking to me. I left without ordering.

My wife and I stopped here today, and were really happy we did. I got a montepulciano and she got a glass of bubbles. We paired it with a brie and bacon flatbread and it all came together very nicely. Check them out, they've got a really nice patio across from the State Capitol and Capitol Park, so it's a nice place to relax.
