Excellent independent wine bar/shop with curated natural-leaning selection and occasional chef pop-ups; strong product knowledge and online service but customer-service consistency can vary and event deposits are strict.
Our take
Forest Wines delivers solid neighborhood appeal through exceptional wine expertise and well-executed chef-in-residence events, but inconsistent service warmth and tight seating prevent higher distinction. The curated selection and personal touches earn loyalty, though this remains a specialized wine-first venue rather than a full dining destination.
One caveat: Service can feel unwelcoming at times according to several recent reviews
