Wine - VINO 100

When Vicki and I traveled to south Reno to Sushi Moto, we also found a relatively new wine shop called VINO 100. The concept of the shop and tasting bar is to present 100 wines under $25.00. We spoke with one of the two owners, Cathy Blair, and found her to be personable and very knowledgeable about their wines. Despite having only 100 wines, I found their selection to be very diverse, with a wide range of wines from throughout the world. There were some old friends and many wines that were new to me. People are beginning to realize that although many great wines are being produced in California and the West, some outstanding bottles can be found from Chile, Argentina, Spain, South Africa and Australia. Many of these bargains can be found at VINO 100, and it’s great to have knowledgeable people who can tell you about their wines and also give you a chance to taste a few.

I think VINO 100 is worth a visit; it’s located at the corner of South Meadows Parkway and Double R, in the Smith’s Shopping Center.
