Wine Appreciation Night Begins at 6:30
Make old friend and keep the new! Or is it the other way around? Either way, come join us for a night of wine where we explore the differences between old (European) and new (everywhere else) world wines. We'll put a French Sancerre - 100% Sauvignon Blanc - next to a Sauvignon Bland from New Zealand, and a Bordeaux next to a California blend with similar grapes. By the end of the night we'll have tried 8 or more wines and have a better understanding of what makes wine from Europe different than anywhere else in the world. $75 per person, reservations required as space is limited. Call us at 303-690-1025 to sign up today!

The history of Orin Swift Cellars dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer and went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, and got hooked. A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name. With two tons of zinfandel and not much else, he spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today.

Longtime customer always exceptional service, wonderful atmosphere and excellent cuisine and always has the best recommendations for wine pairings. Tonight we picked up the special, bison filet for takeout. They had forgotten one of the sides. The owner personally delivered the side and an extra one himself. This personal touch goes a long way! Highly recommend Wine Experience for a great meal with attention to detail! Thank you Mr. Larsen!
This was my first time at this wonderful restaurant! Our waitress was Fabulous. The owner stopped by to introduce himself to us. We each had a wine flight and decided to share appetizers. Everything was so good! Thank you wine experience for a great evening. We will certainly be back!
Took my dad for dinner and couldn't of been happier with the service! The owner came by (eldon) and told us an amazing story about the wine we picked and all sorts of interesting facts. We ordered the calamari and brassiere plate and it was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!
This is a great local restaurant and one of few non-chains in this area. Every time we eat here the food is consistently great and Sheldon gives great wine recommendations to pair with your meal. Their regular menu is pretty diverse, they have good happy hour specials - and I also really like their nightly specials (prime rib night is a really good deal) and wine dinners. This is definitely a place to try - Oso Bucco is my favorite!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. We were sat near the fireplace which was a perfect setting. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food was mouth watering and so delicious! The wine selection had a great variety. We cannot wait to come again!
