Review of The Wine Loft, Kalamazoo

We visited The Wine Loft in Kalamazoo, Michigan recently. This establishment is located about 30 minutes from our inn.

Obviously, as the name implies, their selection of wines is very broad and interesting. They also feature an extensive list of small plate appetizer style foods to enjoy with the wine. The atmosphere is trendy yet casual. This is really set up for before or after dinner, where one can have some conversation. There are no tables per se, just the lounge-style seating with low tables
