When in Coeur d’ Alene
there are as many dining
options as there are
moments in a day. For my
husband and myself,
there is always one
perfect answer. Live
music, friendly people,
great wines, and
delicious food are all
the elements that give
this restaurant so much
character. The spot I’m
talking about is the
Wine Cellar. Buried in
the heart of downtown,
it is only a short
descent below street
level to discover one of
the best little gems of
a restaurant in this
town.
Inspired by his travels
through Europe, Jim
Duncan founded the Wine
Cellar in 1992. This
stylish bistro features
some of the best local
blues and jazz artists
five nights a week.
Perfect for a night out
with friends, or a
memorable candlelit
dinner for two, the
ambiance is simply
elegant and comfortable.
Original art adorns the
golden walls while brick
archways accent the
Spanish décor. And while
it may make it difficult
to hear the waitress
announcing the specials,
a front row seat for the
music is always a fun
option. |

If you come in
for a glass of
wine, it is hard
to resist the
aromatic spices
baking in their
foccacia bread.
Everything from
sauces, to
Italian
sausages, to
desserts is all
freshly made in
house, with
pride. I would
personally
suggest starting
with the Brie or
salmon cakes as
an appetizer,
but whatever you
order from this
Mediterranean
style menu will
be delicious.
The friendly
staff is always
eager to help
match any meal
or appetizer
with the perfect
wine to
compliment your
dish. Their
award winning
selection
features over
250 wines that
Jim has hand
selected
primarily from
Australia,
France, Italy,
California, and
Washington
State. His love
for wine has
earned him Wine
Spectator Awards
in 1997, 1998,
2000, and 2001.
I would
recommend The
Wine Cellar to
all. Don’t miss
out on this
palate-pleasing,
tried and true
venue. You won’t
be disappointed. |
