    My friend and I had a fabulous girls night tasting some Gorgeous wines at MuNoir, dotted with delish Asian-fused bar snacks. The owner, Mun, is also a wine-maker so she’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate with wine (which truly delighted my friend who’s taking a course to study wine and I always enjoy a story) We arrived early on a rainy Sunday evening, and the place got the perfect mood and decor for a nice drop. And by the flow of loyals coming in through the night, we know we picked the right place. This little jewel is marked as “favourite” in my little black book of Melbourne best kept secret. Shhhh🍷
