“ Great shop with very knowledgeable staff! Lots of amazing wine! ”
“ It was my first time here while visiting Charlotte, and the place is a 10/10. First impressions are very important and this place did not disappoint. I had the windisch riesling spatlese wine, which was sweet but not too sweet. Perfect for me, and the pasta jambalaya was really good. I got no onions as I do not like them, and not only were they able to accommodate, but it was still tasty. I would definitely go back. ”

“ The food is so good. I don’t even go there for wine I just really love their menu. One of my favorite spots. ”
“ After my poor experience of trying to order multiple bottles of wine previously, we decided to come here for dinner recently. It was a beautiful evening, so we sat outside. They are dog friendly on the patio, too! What we got: Wine: *Glass of Moscato - a nice, sweet wine, but not up there with my favorite moscato wines. Appetizers: *Fried Goat Cheese and Apples - not much to say about this other than it was SO good! *Crab Cakes - Our favorite crab cakes come from a local food truck, but these are pretty close to those! Lots of crab and fantastic flavor. Entrees: *Pasta Jambalaya - I got it without the shrimp, but I enjoyed this dish with the chicken, sausage, and veggies. There is a very similar cajun pasta at my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, and I found myself comparing and wanting that one instead. This was a good dish, but I'd get something different next time. *Beef Rib Pasta - this was a special of the evening, but my husband got this and it was very good. I liked his pasta dish more. Overall, we really enjoyed our meals and were very surprised by our experience. Food and service was excellent. The food (and wine) is a bit pricey, so we won't be regulars, but we will definitely come back soon! ”

“ Tried the chicken sandwhich, tuna, fish tacos, and crab cakes. Food was absolutely delicious. Try the french fries! Wine selection was great and there’s something for everyone. Service was amazing. Waitress was attentive and helpful. Atmosphere was a bit bland, but it does it’s job. Would come again! ”
