Tucked away on the northern portion of OB is a little gem with walls made of wine. Despite the fact that I lived a couple short blocks from this restaurant for a couple years, I had never been until just recently, and it did not disappoint.

The location is deceivingly big- there are a few areas tucked away in front, in back and on a patio. Each area is lined with stacks of bottles of wine - whites, reds, champagnes - take your pick. When we asked for a more extensive wine list, we received the response they've probably given a million times. "Oh, you just go pick one out."

Now, for someone paralyzed by decision on a daily basis, this was originally a daunting task. But with the help of two friends we meandered over to the red section, decided on a pinot noir and picked one out that looked good (literally - we based the decision almost entirely on the label. It was a damn adorable label). It was fun to be able to try a wine worth more than my normal $2-$10 range I stash at home. There are a handful of wines you can order by the glass, but I highly recommend perusing for something in the aisles. I saw a wine as little as $8 (though not counting the $5 corkage fee) and wines over $100. Depending on who you're trying to impress, the variety is there.

The food was also well worth the price. I decided to do a lunch type dinner and get the chicken sandwich - complete with pesto, sundried tomato, gouda, and a bunch of other goodies. About $10, but worth the cash.

If you love wine, welcome to your candy shop.

3rd Corner Wine and Bistro, located at the corner of Bacon and is a wine bar and restaurant. It has a very intimate and cozy atmosphere, and is a great place to meet up with friends - which is what we did. We shared a few bottles of wine, had great conversation and had a great time.
3rd Corner has wines displayed out so patrons can 'shop' for the wine they want to drink, and the waitresses will bring them to your table and uncork them. They were very good about bringing new glasses when our wines changed, and very good about supplying water for our party.
There's also a menu for ordering food. We ordered a fruit and cheese plate, it was delicious, and so we ordered a second one. The plate consisted of dried apricots, fresh grapes and green apples, I couldn't make out all the cheeses, but I think one was a brie with honey drizzled on it, another was a sharp blue cheese of some sort, and there also was a sort of aged parmesean.
The prices for the wines ranged from moderate to expensive, and the food was fairly priced. For those of us who love to drink wine, definitely try 3rd Corner Wine Shop and Bistro!

Great food and wine. The retail area is very nice.

I drive 35 miles to enjoy wine and dinner at 3rd Corner REGULARLY. Love the comfortable "couch room"... menu is diverse and very gourmet. Staff is knowledgable and friendly, very professional.

We really enjoy this great little resturant and wine shop.
