Trudi and Marijo are always so accommodating and have created a wonderful, cozy atmosphere to meet with friends! Our wine group had a great time last night at our holiday party!

I wanted to like this place. We walked in to listen to music and have a glass of wine. The place was packed. Large groups of people gathered around the seating areas. We sat down at the end of a large community high top table. It was obvious that the majority of people there were clearly over served, Including the owner. This didn't bother me at first. She approached us as 2 of us from our party got up to look at a bottle of wine to enjoy. She told us that the bottle of wine that we picked was an excellent choice. She asked how many were in our party and happily took the bottle to the bar for us to open it. Needless to say...we never had the chance to enjoy it because a bar fight broke out and ruined everything. We saw the whole thing go down and it was ridiculous.One drunk guy(let's call him oblivious)bumped into another drunk guy(let's call him a$$hole), as Oblivious was going into the bathroom. This drunken bump pissed off A$$hole(go figure). Meanwhile Oblivious had no idea he bumped into anyone(imagine that). So, A$$hole was getting worked up outside the bathroom door and was waiting...Happy go lucky Oblivious had no idea A$$hole was losing his sh$t outside the door(insert intense ) So, Oblivious finished doing his thang and opened the bathroom door. (InsertFight For Your RightBeastie Boys · 1986) So, here is where it gets juicy! A$$hole started wailing on poor Oblivious. Which naturally knocked his drunken butt back into the bathroom. You could hear the punches. People screaming, racing towards the restroom making matters worse. There had to be at least 10 people inside that one person bathroom trying to pull A$$hole off ObliviousFinally 6'4" Jerk-face(A$$hole's friend) was able to get A$$hole off poor Oblivious. However, everyone outside the door started yelling at each other trying to say whose fault it was. Pushing, screaming and shoving started happening outside the bathroom. But A$$hole was not finished. He wanted more of Oblivious and was trying to get him from over the bar. Poor Oblivious was bleeding everywhere from the right eye and cheek from the sucker punch he got when he opened the door. (Mind you our 4 glasses of wine were by poor ObliviousHe was waving his blood soaked towel over our glasses trying to tell A$$hole "No, you sucker punched me! I had no idea why!" Then 6'4" Jerk-face was trying to start crap with everyone who was trying to save poor Oblivious. Then wives were screaming and throwing around the c$nt word. pointing fingers in faces and A$$hole's wife started pushing the owner. Which got Jerk-face and A$$hole to start throwing random punches at random people that were trying to keep the peace. I'm calling the cops was screamed out loud. So, A$$hole's wife was desperately trying to get her husband out of the bar, but his friend Jerkface was starting crap with other people. So, naturally A$$hole wanted to stay. Finally, Jerkface's wife and A$$hole's wife got them out of the wine bar with the help of their entire crew of drunk friends. Then the lady that opened our wine bottle behind the bar saw us after the hordes of people started exiting the wine bar. She said, OMG I forgot your glasses of wine. Let me go get them. I said no thank you. Not with all that blood over there you can just throw those away. There was no way we were going to drink those glasses. None of this would have happened if people were not over served.

One of our favorite spots….it’s the “Cheers” of the area…nice wine (and beer) selections, live music and Marijo, Theresa and Trudy are tons of fun! Highly recommended.

This was one of my favorite places when we lived in Mooresville. Still is when we visit . Molly is the sweetest person.

Holly Hopkins

Amazing wine selection! But the sense of community is top shelf indeed… Staff and owner are super friendly and make everyone feel welcome…

I found this quaint place on yelp searching for "Wine Bars". What attracted me was a few things, 1. The décor intrigued me from the pictures on line. 2. I liked the way the seating was through out the establishment not the typical bar atmosphere . You can have wine by the glass, or purchase a bottle with no corkage fee. Beer is available as well. My wife and I purchased a $22 Cab that we enjoyed at the place. Friendly staff and knowledgeable. We definitely will be returning. If you are anti social this is not the place to go, if you like to meet new people and have conversations then this is the spot.

The Vintage Vineyard Tour was great time. It was a last minute booking experience for me so I didn't get a good impression from Peter when he initially contacted me. I didn't see any clear instructions on my end but he did what he could to make sure I had lunch available for this event the next day. Thankfully his team were the true professionals and kept the ball rolling. Katy and Chris (I believe that was his name) were the life of the party! Lol
