Ah, wine. Sometimes you need a glass of riesling to help you relax at the end of a long day. Other times, you want to reconnect with old friends over a bottle of your favorite shiraz. Whether you love red, white, or a little bit of both, the Klamath Basin is home to some lovely wineries, wine shops, and wine bars. Here are are few of the top spots our real estate agents recommend.

1. 12 Ranch Wines: 4555 Burgdorf Rd., Bonanza, OR 97623
   Take a drive, and visit 12 Ranch Winery, a family-owned winery specializing in small-batch wines. You can even make a day of it and look at some Bonanza homes for sale nearby.
   
   The wines at 12 Ranch Wines are unfiltered, which gives them a unique, natural quality. Customers love their merlot and cabernet, and they make delicious St. Croix from locally grown grapes. Tastings are available by appointment.
   
   
2. Rosterolla Wine Company: 800 Main St., Klamath Falls, OR 97601
   If you like obscure bottles and classic vintages, you'll love visiting Rosterolla Wine Company. The owners of this shop have been involved in the wine world for over 30 years. They know their wine and go to great lengths to source incredible bottles.
   
   Rosterolla Wine Company carries more than 1,000 wines, always adding to their selection. If you're looking for a certain wine, they can source it and special order it for you.
   
   
3. Brevada After Hours: 2229 N. Eldorado Ave. #6417, Klamath Falls, OR 97601
   After hours, Brevada Cafe transforms into a classy bar, serving a great selection of wines. They pour a little of everything, from old-world French wines to fruity west coast varietals. They also offer wine platters, which are great for sharing with friends. You'll love munching on cheese, crackers, and charcuterie while you sip and chat.
   
   Brevada After Hours also offers a good selection of craft beers and cocktails—good news if not everyone in your group enjoys wine as much as you do.
   
   
4. Roosters Steak & Chop House: 205 Main St., Klamath Falls, OR 97601
   While Roosters Steak & Chop House is a great place to go for a steak dinner, they're also a great place to stop for a simple glass of wine. They have a full, well-decorated bar with friendly, talented bartenders and a long list of wines sold by the glass and bottle.
   
   The dimly lit, romantic atmosphere at Roosters makes it a good place to drink wine with a date. And if you do decide to stay for dinner, you won't be disappointed. From ribeyes to tomato salads, the food is exceptional.
   
   
5. Nite Owl Bar: 737 Main St., Klamath Falls, OR 97601
   If it's late at night and you're craving a glass of wine, Nite Owl Bar is the place to go. This modern, artsy bar serves some incredible craft cocktails, but they also have an extensive wine list. Order a buttery chardonnay or a sweet riesling, and sip the night away.
   
   Nite Owl Bar is open from 5 pm-midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and from 5-9 pm Wednesdays and Thursdays. They have a simple food menu to accompany the drinks. Try their salami & cheese platter or the Marcona almonds.
