We had been wanting to visit this place for a while now and am glad we finally did. The wine flights were delicious as was the charcuterie and cheese board. We will definitely visit again!

They have a small, selection of craft beer, but even though it's small, it's better than many places offer. The wine list is extensive. Any wine drinker should be able to find something they like. As for the food, we had the cheese and Charcuterie board, the lamb lollipops, the prime rib, and the chocolate mousse, all were excellent, and i imagine everything else is as well, service was attentive, but not ovrr bearing. Will definitely return.

The menu is limited, but interesting. Portion sizes are substantial and very tasty. Excellent wine list and the host is the Wine manager and a talented sommelier. Friendly and comfortable. I drove 25 minutes and would absolutely go back.

this is a lovely place to enjoy some great food and wine. it is small, and my only complaint is that even though we had a reservation, we were only allowed to take a bar stool table which was fairly uncomfortable. will definitely return though.

This small wine bar is located directly behind the Charlie's Trio restaurant. There is outdoor seating available near the entrance of the bar. It is a very intimate setting. My date and I arrived at about 8 pm on a Sunday evening. There was a lively crowd and a jazz band playing. There was limited seating available but fortunately I had made a reservation. We each had a glass of wine and ordered the fried oysters and roasted fennel pizza. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It is a nice place to have good food and wine with a friend or date. It is a small bar so it is a nice place to begin or end your night.
