Elegant wine bar with an excellent staff!

Nice place to enjoy a drink. A great selection of wine. They have some unique beers too. They recently added cocktails to the mix. You’ll need to get your membership like all the other places in this state that serve alcohol do.Great service & comfortable vibe. Love the brick walls. Perfect spot to sit back relax and chat with a drink in hand.There are tables inside and out. I enjoy both depending on weather and mood.

Doesn't even deserve that rating. My son with autism attempted to go to this establishment last week with his worker. My son was refused entry due to not having a vaccine card. His worker tried to explain the situation and he himself had a vaccine card. They would not even attempt to listen to them. My son CANNOT have the vaccine due to medical issues. I attempted to contact management with no response. They need to figure out a way to stop this type of discrimination. Until then, I will encourage everyone I know (I am native and know a LOT of people) to boycott this establishment.

A cozy spot with a great selection of wine and cocktails. Incredibly friendly owners and staff.

A top notch experience across the board. I wandered in on a Saturday night, was greeted with an expert, knowledgeable tasting, and was surprised by the variety and affordability of their collection. I can't wait to take a class here.

Really nice wine bar. Fairly busy on a nice Saturday afternoon in February. Bar stools are very comfortable, wine selection was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxed but a little upscale. I will definitely go back.

I love you have spirits now! great vibe and service!

**I was parked in an area of the parking lot that a lot of other cars were parked in as well. My car wasn’t the only car that was blocked in. When I parked there, there were no signs, blockades, cones, etc stating there is no parking in that area. I DID NOT drive between any kind of blockades. The other employee told me that she offered to move the manager’s (James) car for him but he refused to move it. Another customer had to get up from her glass of wine and she gladly moved her car. It was unbelievable!*After meeting a friend for a glass of wine I was trying to leave and realized that my car was blocked in by 4 cars. One of the cars belonged to the manager of the bar. The manager refused to pull his car out to let me leave. I couldn’t believe it! I had to wait until someone else left in order for me to leave. Also, they don’t allow you to taste the wine before you buy a glass.

Cool asthetics, not what I had anticipated. Bar keep was knowledgeable and kind. Ideal place for wine lovers. It's more of a wine bar than a bar/tavern. Wifi is trash, cell signal is extremely limited.

Classy and smart owners! I love the area too! I love the name! What isn’t there to love!?! ??
