This is a great little wine bar where the owner greets you and Charlie the dog lounges around the wine selection. There's a formal dining area for meals and a charming parlor decorated with chairs, couches and coffee tables for noshing.\n\nThe amazing wine selection lets you choose from lesser-known vineyards and there's a wine for every budget. The cheese plate includes types not found in stores - and be sure to check out the cheddar, it's amazing. A great side note: if you call ahead of time, you can buy the cheese retail to take home.\n\nThe menu also includes wines by the glass, 1/2 liter, or bottle and you can open any bottle they have for retail w/ a corking fee. The 1/2 liter is a great way to sample a couple of different wines for more than one person.\n\nWhile Backstreet Wine Salon isn't necessarily a place to dine on the cheap, it offers quality wines and cheeses for a price typical of most wine bars.
