The menu at Crafted is impressive, featuring a wide selection of local wines. I opted for a flight of local wines and absolutely loved it. It’s not something I often see on menus, so it was a delightful surprise. Each wine in the flight was delicious, and I enjoyed sampling some local products. My fiancée ordered a glass of red wine from a local winery and later discovered it was a special, limited edition collaboration between Gruet and Crafted. Apparently, it’s not available in stores, so this is definitely the place to try it! Although the food menu looked enticing, we decided to skip it since we had plans for dinner later. However, we couldn’t help but notice how appetizing the gougères looked! A big thank you to Alec for being so welcoming, efficient, and easy to talk to. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

After visiting the Sawmill Market across the street, I found myself in need of a lovely glass of wine. My taste buds were definitely ready for something special. The atmosphere is beautifully designed in a stylish way! Dave, our server, was fantastic and clearly knowledgeable about wine. As a California wine enthusiast, I decided to put his expertise to the test. He provided great recommendations, particularly when it came to local New Mexico wines. I must say, I enjoy several New Mexico wines and have purchased a few myself. It's important to support the small producers here for their craftsmanship. Definitely give Crafted a try and don’t hesitate to ask lots of questions!

They also have a cool little gift area when they 're looking for some unique bar / wine gifts for someone who has everything. while everything about the ambiente, the service etc. was excellent, the selection itself was very, very limited. while they had some unique weeping from local wineries that they usually do not see on a menu, there was a lot not so big weeping. each of us got another flight, so we had the whole variety and the only two people who were satisfied with everything in their flight (and everything was finished was the sparkling Gruet flight (because it's creeping and tasty and the fortified flight that was unique port-like wee. the red flight and the rose flight sucked both when I'm honest and there were at least two that no one wanted to have on the table (blasphemy! . this place has so much potential and a really cool concept, but we have so many amazing wine/beer options in this city I feel as if the current selection is short change that. how cool would be a unique ipa,- stout or Pilsner flight from some of the top location breweries? maybe with cool snack pairings (chocolate? cheese? I must give them credit for the selection of wines that are very different, although (taste preferences side by side). it is worth checking and they can 't go wrong with the casa rodena weine (especially the potting and rose and the sheehan mourvedre when red are on their all. it would definitely be worth a return if more options and variety were added to the menu.
