"Cool place serving a wide array of South African wines and snacks. We got a bottle of tannat and a bread board that came with goat cheese and olive marmalade. Everything was delicious and the staff was knowledgeable in helping pick a bottle and all around nice and friendly. Would come back"

"Came here on a Monday at 4pm to avoid the crazy parking and crowds. There is paid street parking right outside of the space. This is a cozy place to get nice South African wine and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. I tried the curator red blend and it was a solid medium bodied wine. We also had the meat and cheese board. The cheeses were amazing and the jerky-like meat has some different and interesting flavors like coriander. Loved the honey comb with the goat cheese."

"Every wine here is from South Africa--kind of a bold move opening a niche so narrow, but I've sampled several SA wines through my wife (CMS Cert Somm & WSET diploma) so I was kind of excited to check this place out solo with my better half out of town. Meagan was great suggesting the Chenin Blanc as my first glass. The feel of the place is industrial which works well as the lighting used doesn't overpower and you feel a little like you're near a cellar. There is a projector TV on one wall and they tune to whatever sports or what not are on...I happened to stop by during the Vikings/Giants playoff game and sat near a speaker to hear the sound (which is low enough to not hinder conversation, but just barely high enough to hear if you focus on it). There is even Casita Cold Brew and Wanderlust Sangria on tap and I've seen some cheese/charcuterie boards go out. I finished with a Malbec and then moved on as I had an event nearby to attend. Overall great experience--service, vibe, wine ( I need to return to try a board)...I'll be back--this is simply a great place to drink wine without feeling like you don't belong, if you know what I mean--unpretentious."

"Such lovely hospitality here! Female owned and the wine is incredible. All south African wines. The vibe is so calm and inviting. They play jazz and have a great cheeseboard and charcuterie selections. Great place to have a lovely chat. The interior decor is beautiful. Pay to park on the street. I strongly recommend!!"
