I truly enjoyed my first time here . The people and setting make it a great hang out spot . James was my server and he was great. He guided me through the wine list,recommended some great wines all while still taking me out of my comfort zone a little. (I’m not a red wine person but the Pinot 10/10.) I had the dip as a snack and it was so good, the hint of citrus really did it for me . I recommend this place for a date night, girls night any night really .

Came here a few nights back while visiting a friend in Greensboro. I have been meaning to come back here for quite sometime for actual service, as I had only been in previously to pick up a few bottles of wine. This is a place worth making the drive from Winston for. It was a relatively quiet night but all the other guests clearly seemed to be having a great time, just as we were. The staff got our food, (well my friends food that I kept stealing-get the Italian panini!) out to us quickly. They were incredibly knowledgeable about wine and lead us to try a few things we wouldn’t normally have ordered that we ended up loving. I am excited to bring my husband here to try it out for a date night. It gives moody vibes while also seemingly feeling like a neighborhood spot. I wish our city had a place like this.

Unfortunately this wine bar does not display on their website that they are 21 and up only. My friend and I were wanting to enjoy a nice glass of wine and I had my 6 month old with me. The waitress was kind in asking us to leave however I did tell her that I checked the website before and it said nothing of sorts.If you don’t want to allow children please say that on your website.

Great casual spot for good food and perfectly paired wines (just ask the Somm or any of the staff). Weekly wine tastings plus a monthly wine club guide us all around the world.

Such a cozy and fun place to visit. The staff are very attentive and have extensive knowledge about the wines available. So if you aren't quite sure what you want, they can help you figure it out.The food is delicious as well. Great place for a date night or as a warm up to dinner somewhere else. Can't recommend enough.

I hesitate to provide a glowing review because this is the kind of local place to be kept secret. It's an intimate wine bar with a tremendous wine selection and a most knowledgeable staff. Everyone is kind and courteous. They make every effort to become acquainted with you and offer suggestions that would compliment your tastes. A group of the staff even coordinate wine and food tours throughout Europe! Every Thursday (by appointment) they have a featured wine tasting from 6-8p for those still acquiring their wine tastes.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine. Had lots of 'bites', olives, dates, Italian plate. Everything went so well with the 9 wines we tried. My friend asked the server to make up a flight and he complied very kindly!

Went there for a company outing. The staff was so friendly and the service was incredible. Our party did everything from sample flights to ordering bottles of wine, and just about one of everything on the menu. The Prosciutto wrapped dates were probably one of the best things I've eaten and are really long time. The chicken salad was also one of the better ones I've ever had. I highly recommend going there with a friend, a date or an outing. I will definitely be back again just for the food alone!

This is the coziest, most welcoming wine bar. The owners and staff are quite knowledgeable. If you're not sure what to order, just tell them what you like to drink and they'll pick out the perfect glass for you!

Great atmosphere - prime spot to stop on Friday night. Great wine list - and a good chance to try something new!

Went to a wine tasting. Had a super fun time. Make a reservation and with a nominal fee....enjoy. Small plates to accompany the wine adds to the experience. I am ready to go again. And participation courtesy towards purchases if made were an added bonus.

Great atmosphere and the wine is delicious. My wife and I love wine and we found the owner, the establishment, and the whole experience to be absolutely lovely.
