  So so happy that this wine bar has joined my downtown Durham life! Dur-yum is how I feel about this place!
  
  As someone who loves wine, being in a beer centered area of North Carolina, it can be a lonely life....But Bar Brunello is here to save the day for me! You can tell this place really does love their wine, and they put a lot of time into picking out the wines they have to offer here too. I would suggest going with one of the wine flights, and if you sit at the bar, the owner will happily guide you through all of the types and add in his own personal story or connection to each wine too. It is like you are becoming part of his family just by sitting there and having wine with him. You know that a person loves their job, when it is just you and one other person in the whole bar and he just can't stop talking about wine. It was just such a nice different type of experience for the downtown area.
  
  It is small and narrow inside, so a large group might not be the best here, but if you are into wines at all, this is definitely a spot you should go. We also got a small plate with some very tasty cheese and meat to eat between our wine flights, but not enough food options here to really be dinner. But a great spot for nice conversations and nice wine.

  We rented Bar Brunello for an evening for my wife's 40th birthday. Esteban and Cara were great helping make decisions about the party. We choose a small sampling of food from their menu which was very good. Esteban paired superb but affordable wines for the night. He also had a few outstanding beer choices for our never-wine friends. The space itself was perfect for our group. The indoor space was cozy and we spread out to the patio to enjoy acoustic guitar. Bar Brunello set the stage for a fantastic evening. 5 stars isn't enough.
