Uncork & Unwind is an absolute gem, offering a perfect blend of cozy ambiance, exceptional service, and top-notch drinks. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere invites you to relax and enjoy—soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a welcoming vibe that makes it ideal for both casual nights out and special occasions. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels taken care of without being rushed.
The drink selection is impressive, with a curated variety of wines, cocktails, and small bites that pair beautifully with the beverages. Each pour is crafted with care, and the quality of the offerings shines through, whether you’re trying a new wine or enjoying a classic cocktail. The overall experience feels thoughtful and elevated, yet still approachable. Uncork & Unwind truly delivers on every level, making it a five-star destination for anyone looking to enjoy great drinks, warm hospitality, and a relaxing, memorable evening.

I always enjoy myself at this establishment. I don't even drink wine any more, but the service, ambiance, food, and alternative beverages are really great. I'm sure the wines are great too. Super spot to relax, eat, drink and chat. Highly recommend. The folks that run it are super nice too!
We accidentally stumbled into this gem after being turned away from the previous restaurant we initially planned on visiting (due to overcrowding). And boy, am I glad we did. We happened to come on a night where there was a classical violin recital being performed by a 9 year old wunderkind and her teacher - it was beautiful!!!! The atmosphere was inviting and extremely comfortable. The wine selection was vast, delish and very interesting. The food was fresh, hot and quite good. And the owner (Heidi), personally took the time to check in on us and even shared the story behind the establishment. I informed her that Uncork, Unwind had won me over and that, rest assured, I will be returning quite often. Thank you, Heidi and staff, for an absolute wonderful evening!!!!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, with creative appetizers and a great selection of wine. Prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was just perfect m, especially sitting outside on a warm evening. The service was truly outstanding! after I accidentally left my card at the table, one of the staff members literally ran after me down the street to return it. So kind and attentive! Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The concept and selection of the wines is fabulous and varied. There’s something for everyone. Their wine features are always exciting and so well curated. But beyond just being good on paper, the folks running this place are friendly and knowledgeable. It truly does feel warm and welcoming. Wonderful way to spend some time relaxing.

I can’t rave enough about this business. The owner is super amazing and friendly, the wine selection is like not other and all the food options are always great.
Great find. Excellent wine selection and cozy atmosphere. And for the small plate menu the spinach and onion pizza with chimicurri sauce was fabulous.

Cool, local spot to relax and enjoy wine and craft beers. You can either order wine by the glass or pay by the ounce to pour your own from one of the wine dispenser machines. Friendly staff and nice decor.
