My fiance and I came to Wine Not before dinner one evening, and we loved the wine here!! Ali was our server, and she was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She spoke great English with us (which was nice because we know limited Spanish). We really enjoyed all 5 wines we tasted! The atmosphere is cozy with great decor. Just a heads up to future customers, they only accept cash (no credit)! I would HIGHLY recommend Wine Not.

A cozy spot for tasting with wonderful service and suggestions. Wine Not? offered great options for tasting regional wine as well as single glass options. In addition to the Bornarda we ordered (a spectacular wine and not to be missed), we also order the tapas and cheese plate for sharing, two exceptional choices. A great venue to visit if you're looking for something to do within mendoza square.

For me this is a good example of a good idea with perfect implementation.
Proposition is wine tasting from small wineries having wines that cannot be found unless you are a dedicated expert that invested time to visit small wineries houses.
Matias the owner gives you service himself with personal attention and dedicated experience exchange.
There are 5 glass or 7 Glasses option and he properly suggest you to start with 5 and change to 7 if you want and don't mind to get drunk (last part was my comment and not his behavior)
Proposition is not be another restaurant, but a unique wine tasting house.
We've been talking to him for over two hours and it was clear to be knowledgeable person.
We had a cheese plate and wonderful empanadas and very nice wines together with interesting explanations about terroir, micro weather, and it's implication on the product you drink.
Probably the best approach is the simplicity of a young entrepreneur passioned by his work and his land.
Ah, he booked us for next attraction lunch tomorrow on a winery
Thanks Matias we had a great time and will be back.

Me and my husband would love some wine before heading for dinner, so after read the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to go Wine Not to have a good time.
We were the first table to guests entering the shop, no one was at the reception, until we were wondering around for a minute or two, a young gentleman came in and showed us an iPad for the menu.
As we had a long wine tasting day, we decided to do a simple one instead of wine tasting here, we chose to have a glass of wines and tapas.
We asked the staff what's the selection of wines we could choose from, he didn't show us the wine list but said, would serve us what they got for today
Okay, so, what about tapas, my husband asked what tapas you serve for today? The staff gave us the same respond " would serve u what we got for today" (so, we still unsure what's the Tapas about..)
Well, totally a big surprise for the upcoming wines and food!
Wines: Torrontes for my husband, Malbec for me. We only knew the white was from a small vineyard locally in Argentina that was it. We loved to know more about the background however the staff disappeared. Taste wise, not good
Food: The staff didn't introduce the plate when he served and what sort of ingredients have used, he disappeared once again after delivered the dish. We found out finally until we tasted them all. Imagine, if the guests have food allergic or some sort of food that cannot eat, that'd be a big problem.
I rated 1 star just because the presentation of the Tapas and its taste was fabulous.
Other than that, we didn't have a good experience at all, maybe we were unlucky that didn't have the owner to serve us that night, but, we didn't expect this big differential on the service delivery.

Hello Bess!
First of all thank you very much for your review and for sharing your experience at wine not, we believe that the most helpful review is the one that shows our flaws so we can correct and grow to give a better service.
We are very sorry about your disappointed experience.
Wine Not is known for the wine tastings, as you said all our clients share their positive experience when they had their tasting. We perform wine tasting guided by our sommelier to give a full informative tasting. This service is applied to that methodology and we have a wine selection by the glass that changes everyday, wich may be why you receive that answer when you asked for a list of wine by the glass. We have a wine by the glass selection to fill needs like the one you describe “have a glass of wine before or after dinner “. There might was some lack of enthusiasm on the explanation wich points a weak spot to work on but wine by the glass in Wine Not is a more distant service orientated to clients that don’t want to fell sofocated about the explanations and like to explore the wine theirselfs or couples that would like their space to a more intimate moment. We might have miss the point where clients like you would only like a glass but with a full and guided explanations and that’s very important to highlight because is going to correct our communication with our clients.
Our chef does a really amazing job creating pairings with colorfull and textured plates we are very happy that you enjoyed it. And although it was a mistake not to ask for any allergic or restrictions on the food we recommend that if you have any sort of conditions it has to be the very first thing you communicate to the staff.
Sadly we cannot do more than apologize and thank you again for your contribution to see and correct our flaws. But however if you make it back to Mendoza some day or happen to have friends coming we offer a free wine tasting so you can experience the full concept of Wine Not and we can have a second chance to show that we are capable of taking this review as a opportunity to amend your unfortunate moment.
Thank you again.
Best regards.
Happy Holidays.
Wine Not.

Have been here quite a few times since Matii and Martin opened their new venture late last year.
The venue is cool and classy. Up to 70 wines are offered by the glass and most of these exclusive wines are not sold anywhere else.
The bonus is you can choose from an array of beautiful entree size meals and a quality cheese platter to go with wines that are matched for you.
Service is first class and friendly matched with expert wine selections by Matii.
Mendoza has been long overdue to have a Wine Bar like this !!
Congratulations and thanks for taking a risk to bring this venture to downtown Mendoza. You deserve every success.

I was with a lovely group of people that I had met on a Mendoza wine tour the previous day, when we met the following night. We ventured upon this new bar and had the pleasure to be a set of the first ever customers. The bar owner's aim is to provide a unique wine tasting experience of Argentinian wine within a bar, and this truly was the case. Not only was the bar fun, the wine excellent, and the company great, but the owner's (name forgotten -sorry!) personal story and feelings towards the selection of wines adds to that lovely personal touch and experience that almost allows you to have your own within what you have experienced in life. The blind tasting is also good fun. Further, lovely to see some fantastic Argentinian whites & rosés with of course the beautiful reds.
A great experience! Would highly recommend this as a fun place for a date as well as to go with a group of friends. Great value for money!!!

The minute that I walked in I felt so welcome by the owner/ Mathias.
Mathias asked what I liked in wine and then adapted his selection to what I would enjoy and what would surprise me. He knows his wine.
I went for the five tasting and empanadas.
Empanadas are delicious and unusual in their taste combining flavours like no other empanadas that I've tasted in Argentina
All of the decor has been carefully thought out. The book shelf is made from pipes and even the light globes have character. The music is easy to listen to. - apparently a local DJ called Adriano Vivas.
You can leave your own personal mark by writing on a cork and leaving it in the glass cabinet on the wall.
The Clientele that I met are friendly tourists so as a solo traveller easy to chat from table to table. I had a great time. Some nights are full and others are quiet but all are enjoyable.
The only challenge it has that I can see is how to describe itself so that other travellers don't miss this gem.
It's not quite a bar or a restaurant but it is an experience that should not be missed.

I discovered Wine Not in a New York Times 36 Hours in Mendoza article and am so glad I sought it out. My husband and I had a wonderful 5 "step" tasting with Matias on our second night in Mendoza. As other reviewers have stated he is a wealth of knowledge on Wine and the region. (Which makes sense as he is a sommelier). He is extremely hospitable and speaks perfect English which is an added bonus. I wish we would have visited on our first night but he was closed. I think I heard him mention that he takes reservations so if you are short on time in the area I would contact him a few days in advance.

I wish we’d come here our first day in Mendoza City, as Matt was a wealth of knowledge about the area! This is a unique experience where Matt picks which wines you taste—they were all fabulous, and as good or better than any we had at any of the wineries we visited. We also learned about Argentine culture and politics and really enjoyed chatting with Matt. At first I thought $500 seemed expensive for a tasting, but each “taste” is nearly a glass of wine of great quality, so well worth it!!
