Bar à Vin in Salt Lake City welcomes wine novices with a vast selection of wines available by the ounce, flights designed to guide exploration, and a relaxed atmosphere.
The owner of a Salt Lake City wine bar says those people are welcome at Bar à Vin. It’s come as you are, with no prior wine knowledge necessary.
“So, these people that say, ‘I don’t know a lot about wine’ — great,” Newman said. “We’re the perfect place for you.” Bottles of wine are seen in a wine dispensing machine at Bar a Vin in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025. An executive at a software company by day, Newman has gone through wine education and certification courses and considers himself a sommelier, but he won’t talk your ear off about tasting notes. “I don’t care if someone says, ‘I don’t know why I like that wine, I just do’ — perfect, because that’s how I drink,” he said. “... I just like diversity in my wine. I like to try different stuff.” Bottles of wine are seen in a wine dispensing machine at Bar a Vin in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Jan.
If you know only that you prefer red over white, and don’t want to pick wines at random from the menu, Bar à Vin has a cleverly named wine flight just for you. Like “Phat Bottomed Girls,” which features five “big, bold and beautiful” red wines. Or “Ryder Cup” — named for the golf competition — a flight that pits three U.S. pinot noirs against three French pinot noirs.
Bar à Vin has seven different types of stemware, and their use depends on the type of wine being poured, “because the same wine in two different glasses — completely different,” Newman said. The wines are all numbered on the menu, and the number is written on the base of the glass, so no matter how many glasses are on your table, you won’t get mixed up and forget what you’re drinking.
