Bottlehouse

There are few places I’d rather be come high summer than on the wooden deck under a dark, starry sky at Bottlehouse. Madrona’s sweet house turned wine-and-cheese bar is as unassuming and unflashy as it gets, but personal touches make all the difference—such as a cheese board personalized to your tastes by Sully McGinnis, the cheesemonger. Spend an afternoon soaking in the sun, or make it the last stop on a date going so swimmingly you aren’t ready for it to end.
