Wine for the win! In first place again this year, you’ll find a unique array of wine at Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Cafe (1444 Front Porch Place, Altoona), as well as some of the best cocktails in the Valley. New to this category, 2 Roots Art & Wine Gallery (214 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire) takes second. With its self-service wine station, you’ll find one of the largest selections of wine not just in the Valley, but in the country! If fruit-forward local wines are what you’re looking for, head to Bemis Bluff Winery (E2960 Hageness Road, Eleva), which returns to this category after a year off. —Stephanie Nesja
