Vin48

If you’re looking for a spot to impress that friend who frequently and earnestly uses the word “terroir,” look no further than Vin48. The bistro features lots of great bottles and more than 40 wines by the glass—some from France and Italy, but also from places like Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Grab one of the high tops at the front of the Avon restaurant and wine bar, where it’s usually pretty buzzy with locals stopping by after work for a casual bite. Share some baked goat cheese or the Colorado bison tartare appetizer to start, get the pistachio-crusted chicken entree, and the Grand Marnier crème brulée for dessert.
