In Bellevue? Try Twisted Cork Wine Bar’s Happy Hour

By “try,” I mean, try it out and report back. All I have to go on is a seductively priced list of wines by the glass from a press release. Here are the relevant details: Twisted Cork‘s happy hour is daily from 3 to 6 p.m. Draft beers are just $4 a pint, but of course you came for the half-off glasses of wine. Well, and perhaps a $1.95 oyster shooter. The Angus white-cheddar cheeseburger ($5.95) might quell a more substantial appetite. (They’re doing something right over there at Twisted Cork because they won a 2008 Award of Ultimate Distinction from Wine Enthusiast.)
