Favorite wine bar or restaurant with great wine list (Raleigh: house, cost)

[MB1972]

Anyone have a suggestion of a great wine bar or restaurant with a great wine list. I'd like something near north hills if possible as I'm meeting a friend and that's midway between us.

Not near North Hills, but Angus Barn has a very impressive wine list, and a well trained staff of sommeliers.

I second Vivace. Also, Maragaux's has a great wine list. It's off Creedmoor Road. Tazza Kitchen in Cameron Village is another favorite.

Thanks! Just made a reservation for Vivace.

For me nothing comes close to Angus Barn. The most extensive list in the Triangle. They also have BYO with a modest cork fee.

It would be interesting to know who has the largest or best "by the glass" list. I can't remember the last time I ordered a whole bottle somewhere.

We never get the bottle either. One glass of house will tide me over

I suggest Vivace too.

I agree that would be good information. You know though that you can order a bottle and take home what you don't drink. It's usually the most cost effective way to drink wine.
