Welcome to the nation’s first wine bar dedicated to wine flights. We are excited to be Johnson County’s first wine bar and the Nation’s first & only wine flights bar. As a true classic wine bar, A Wine Flights Bar and Bistro offers Kansas City’s & Johnson County’s largest selection of wine flights at 80 plus (three, 2oz pours), wines by the taste (2oz) or glass (6oz) at 300 wines and growing. We want to make wine a part of your daily life. That is why we offer the majority of our wines by the taste (2 oz). A little wine daily has great health benefits and our wine bar allows you to enjoy a small amount of wine without committing to a glass. About our philosophy We are focused and dedicated to growing our consumers wine knowledge. As the first true wine bar (no glam cocktails) in the entire Kansas City metro area, our philosophy is wine education, conversation and a relaxed wine way of life.  While life continues to pull us all in a million different directions, our team has created an environment that resembles the slow - take life as it comes lifestyle of many Italian, French, Spanish, & South American countries. We want you to while away the time over a glass of wine, read a newspaper, or chat with a friend. No hurry! No worry! Wine is meant to be sipped and savored. About our decor & atmosphere Stop in and grab a seat at our polished granite tasting bar and talk wine with your neighbors. We invite the new wine drinkers as well as the expert wine drinkers to expand their palate and share wine travel stories with friends. Our décor (created by Sherri Hamiel/ CEO) and atmosphere promotes comfort as you step in and smell the luxurious leather chairs or have your ears titillated by the clink of crystal stemware against 8000 lbs of polished granite, and our one of a kind, 1200 bottle glass wine cellar. Add, palm trees, original hand painted artwork, videos of the world’s great wine regions, 14 foot windows with a view of our small village style tree lined patio with a soothing view of our outside fountain…you have the makings for great wine tastings. About our cuisine & wine Our menu was created with the idea of having wine from all over the world paired with the food you enjoy at home everyday. Our Menu Architect (RJ Hamiel II/ COO) named our cuisine “familiar wine friendly food”. This short title explains why every item on our food menu can be identified as a favorite. We feature fresh fish, shellfish, chicken, filets, burgers, flatbread pizzas, salads and much more. RJ believes quality ingredients prepared simply allows each item’s unique qualities to shine. Our wine list is second to none with continual growth. We want to help you build your wine arsenal. Think of us as your taste before you buy wine team. RJ is also our Wine Director, his view on wine is based on one easy to remember phrase, “It’s just juice.” RJ has an extensive background in wine & food. His goal is to purchase wines that best represent their region , AVA or country. He presently has over 30 grape varietals on our list and he spends time daily locating new and interesting wines at affordable prices.
