Welcome to Chemistry Wine Bar

The journey began over twenty years ago for Dori Fackler, owner and operator, with a passion for uncovering hidden gems from boutique wineries, and creating a comfortable space in which to enjoy them. A love of historic spaces, a desire to bring wine and people together and a love for how good wine is crafted, sent her on a years long search to find the perfect space to house the dream. She found it in this space with original elements from the 1800’s.

She searched for wines from wineries with minimal intervention practices that allow the grapes to truly shine, as well as those that showcase classic region and grape expression.

Her father John P. Fackler, Jr., PhD, was a world renowned chemist, and a little of his passion rubbed off on Dori, so she used a scientific approach to learning about wine and choosing the selection of wines and food. She was fascinated that a grape could taste like something else - berries, citrus and other elements, as well as the fact that the same plant can produce complete different tasting wine depending on the soil and climate of the vineyard.

Let our carefully curated selection inspire you to explore the delightful chemistry of flavors. We believe that the shared experience of great wine and delicious small plates can create unforgettable moments. So join us!

Whether you're a wine novice or a seasoned enthusiast, we invite you to relax, unwind, and let your story unfold among friends and a glass of something special. We may be pretty but we’re not fancy!
