NORTHSHOREMAG.COM 16 APRIL 2019 It's pretty rare to find a cabernet sauvignon from Caymus Vineyards by the glass. e much-lauded premium Napa wine is coveted by oenophiles, and the most recent vintage retails for about $82 a bottle. Yet there it sits on the by-the-glass list at Stella's Restaurant and Wine Bar, a new spot in Salem. At $22, it's not for everyone, but people who have been longing to try it without springing for a bottle will be well pleased with its luscious intensity. Not interested in dropping more than $20 for a glass of wine? No problem. oughtful offerings start at just $8 a glass, with many in the $10 range, from regions around the world. e by-the-bottle list, nearly 200 wines strong, eschews typical markups in favor of ensuring a wine at every level, starting under $30 for the charming Rickshaw pinot noir from California and stretching all the way to $1,375 for a 2014 Chateau Margaux from Bordeaux.
