This may have been the worst service I've ever had. We sat outside, were never checked on, had to go inside to request someone help us. There was only 2 other people in the restaurant! Absolutely no excuse for this experience.

Grand Cru Wine Bar is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with an ambiance that exudes sophistication and warmth. What truly sets this place apart is its exceptional wine selection, carefully curated with a focus on quality over quantity.Their white wine flight is a journey through some of the finest expressions of the grape. The Terre Rouge Viognier from California delights with its lush texture and vibrant flavors, surprised by the hints of oak while the Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc from South Africa offers a beautifully nuanced profile that captivates the palate with green apple hitting you in the face! And let's not forget the Thomas George Estates Chardonnay, a true standout with its elegant balance of fruit and vanilla. I'm told it's aged in stainless steel and concrete.But the delights don't end there. The Valckenburg Gewürztraminer and Benoit Gautier Chenin Blanc are absolute must-tries, each offering a unique and memorable experience being off dry.What truly elevates the Grand Cru experience is the expertise and passion of their staff, particularly Chris, a level 3 Sommelier whose knowledge and enthusiasm for wine are simply infectious. He guided me through the menu with ease, offering insights and recommendations that enhanced my first visit tenfold.If you're looking for an unparalleled wine experience, look no further than Grand Cru Wine Bar. Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or just beginning your journey into the world of wine, this place will exceed your expectations in every way possible.I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

If you are looking for a romantic date night, or a place to listen to some live music, Grand Cru is a one of a kind spot in the area.Inside is very cozy.There were a lot of wines to choose from! They have happy hour on the weekend as well, which is not common and a nice touch!

The perfect place for a Friday night treat! 100% recommend a visit to Grand Cru! Service - I called at around 6PM to see if they had space for two. The lady who answered the phone said that they had open tables and offered to reserve us one without me even asking. So kind! Everyone who interacted with us was incredibly friendly and welcoming! Ambiance - they pretty much only have tables that seat 4, but they're large enough if you need to grab another chair. The inside has a rustic and intimate vibe - feels like you're in a wine cellar! Drinks + Food - Santa Julia Brut Rosé - filled to the brim! A delightful rosé that had the perfect balance between dry and sweet notes. Seasonal Hummus - very fresh and homemade! Smoky and savory taste that pairs well with the crudité and lightly toasted/buttery baguette slices. Cheese Flatbread - great cheese to sauce ratio. The flatbread had a herby/pesto seasoning on top which was delicious (although I wished it was more evenly spread out!) Triple Chocolate Chip Brownie - A must order! The brownie was warm and served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce made from port wine. The brownie itself had a cinnamony flavor that was wonderful. TL;DR - Definitely check out Grand Cru for a great selection of wines and tasty eats! Our favorites were the Santa Julia Brut Rosé and the Triple Chocolate Chip Brownie dessert!

Laura was awesome! I let her know what type of wine I usually like. She suggested I go with the Santa Julia Brut Rose from Mendoza, Argentina. I really enjoyed it and purchased a bottle. The mushroom flatbread was ok, but I wouldn’t purchase it on my next visit. The sweetest wine they have at this time is Karl Josef Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling Kabinett from Mosel, Germany 2022. It was pretty good, but I wasn’t a fan. I loved the comfortable atmosphere and the overall vibe of the establishment. Didn’t try the Sandeman Porto Tawny 30 Years, but I was told it’s the strongest bottle they have.

Our waiter, Chris, was extraordinarily kind and informative. The dim-lit ambiance is perfect for a date night. We tried Matthew Fritz Sauvignon Blanc and Santa Julia Brut Rose, both were good. The mushroom flatbread was surprisingly delicious. You should definitely try this great spot in Fort Worth.

Super nice people and wide variety of wines. Not pretentious. Very comfortable. Good flatbread (mini pizza). Knowledgeable server. Came weeknight and quiet, gearing up for a tasting. Nice that happy hour goes to 7:00.

Sat outside for happy hour, enjoyed the live music playing across the st at Maggie's. Alfred took EXCELLENT care of me. had the vara & pulgar and calipaso, both great! & chilled which was perfect on this hot day

Chris Turner

Great and fun wines! A nice getaway from the crowds on magnolia.

The wine selection is good. Great atmosphere to relax after a long day or week. The service is good.

Clint Compton

Great wine selection, the only real drawback is they desperately need a kitchen expiditer. Their orders from the kitchen are all over the place, appetizers and salads come out way after the entrées (like 40 minutes afterward).
