Melaine L.Melaine Lomax: The sangria is always good and they always have a great offering of mixed drinks. The wine tastings and selections are always fantastic but the biggest draw for me is the selection of craft beers.

There's a great selection of craft beer and wine to enjoy onsite or carry out. The Small Plates Menu includes a Caprese that is too good to pass up. It's the perfect backdrop for great conversation. Read more.

Brad W.Brad Weiss: Seasonal Sangria is delicious. So are the blueberry maple cookies.
