Wine brightens the life and thinking of anyone. – Thomas Jefferson
I love relaxing at night with a nice glass of wine and a book. It helps me unwind from the events of the day. Whenever my partner and I go out to eat, we almost always get a glass to go with the meal. I will be the first to admit, I don’t know much about wine but I know what I like. I prefer wines on the sweeter side, but I also love it when the wine goes perfectly with the meal.
Waxlight Bar A Vin is unrivaled when it comes to wines. Their menu is centered around pairing each dish with the perfect glass of wine. Their menu changes weekly featuring a variety of different dishes. They’re led by a team of owner-operator sommeliers and chefs who have dedicated their lives to creating food and drink experiences. They offer a wide selection of spirits, wine, and beer and an ever-changing menu of craveable, technique-driven dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Chef Edward Forster has been a student of cookery since the age of 16. He trained and worked in London, Philadelphia, Chicago, and his hometown of Buffalo. After leading kitchens of renowned chefs Graham Elliot, Georges Perrier, Paul Kahan, and Mike Andrezejewski, Forster is ecstatic to show you his take on high impact flavor combinations and unique ingredient based dishes.
In addition to its restaurant offerings, Waxlight Bar A Vin is offering brunch as well as takeout that includes drinks, snacks and a four course meal. They are extremely active on social media, posting their weekly menu as well as other things they are offering. Their gift cards make the perfect gift for that wine connoisseur in your life.
