Our Take
Sam's Place keeps things unpretentious with rotating small-batch wines and staff who make recommendations that actually land — the exposed brick and cozy layout make it the kind of neighborhood wine bar locals feel possessive about. Worth seeking out if you want a genuine local experience over a polished one.
