Bubbles and Wines

We stumbled upon this little place close to Dam Square by accident. I say stumbled, although we were riding past on pushbikes as is normal when bar crawling in Amsterdam. Behind its narrow frontage lies a long, slender room outfitted in eighties retro brown and black, complete with velvet and bronzed mirrors.

As the name would suggest, the bar specialises in champagne and wine - fifty by the glass and over 500 by the bottle. High-tech nitrogen wine savers (Enomatic System) ensure opened bottles stay fresh and tasting flights are enthusiastically served with an explanation on each of the wines poured, followed by the punch line "have a good flight".

Bubbles & Wines is owned by a self-confessed oenophile and Robert is literally fulfilling his dream of making a living from his passion for wine. Tapas-style gourmet bites are served and while I recommend you follow Robert's wine matching suggestions, be sure to eat Bee Stings (slices of Parmigiano-Reggiano drizzled with truffle infused honey).
