Five wholly unnecessary wine-bar happy-hour fails

I get why you didn't do so, but it would be great to know where you received great service and where you didn't (like the smart ass in #5).

twelve restaurant doesn't have a happy hour, but they do offer half-off all by the glass wine with dinner if you dine at the bar. And it was voted Westword's "Best Bar for Fine Dining" in 2011! Talk about food-friendly wine and wine-friendly food.

 You have just qualified my loyalty to an establishment I consider my Cheers. Great Happy Hour food, known for having a great wine selection and best of all...where everyone knows my name. Maybe the burbs aren't all bad after all.

How long have you lived in Denver? Welcome to the Mile Hi experience.

I find it interesting that when I ask how long a bottle has been open, no one has ever been ever to tell me. How hard would it be to mark the open date on the bottle? Unfortunately no matter how long it has been open, when I see them pour from a opened bottle, my perception is that it is old and I already don't want it. Of course this is usually only at happy hour becuase if it is open it is at least from the night before if they just opened for the day. But if you can't tell me...I can only assume the worst.

Awesome post Kendra. I totally agree.  Please treat me well when I come to your establishment looking to spend some coin and have a good time.

My fave # was #4 Why all the wine UNfriendly food???

Cheers to all of this. It saddens me every time I go into a place that tries to build a reputation on its wine list and then sullies that reputation by offering wine that I could get on an airplane (or food to match). I'd rather spend an extra buck or two than be lured by low prices only to encounter low quality.
