D'Vine Wine Bar

We have been here three times since its opening.  Atmosphere is lovely.  The food is very good.  I also appreciate that they serve beer in addition to wine.  One concern is that their wine selection is pretty limited for a wine bar.  Another big one for me since this can really make or break an experience... the service.  Each time it has been what I could best describe as either awkward to snobby.  The curly haired server that we have had a few times is very unpleasant.  Will try one more time in a few months.

I showed up solo to this joint but it was very relaxed and a perfect wine drinking/hanging out/relaxing lounge-like place.  I spoke to the owner and she was very knowledgeable and kind and I wanted to stay... however, the atmosphere was really dead.  She was explaining that after the holidays that the town goes dead, so that's why her place was slow, quiet, empty, and why she had closed her kitchen for the weekend.  Total bummer to me because I was in the mood for good wine, some casual chit-chat and lounging before driving out to dinner later.  I would return again when the season picks up because given the  environment inside (decoration, wines offered, friendly owner/staff), I know I'd enjoy my time there.  It also sounds like when she has the kitchen open, she has tapas-style dishes - something I think perfectly matches the intention of the place.  So, yes, I would like to return when the crowd picks up here.

Love this place! Great food and local wines in a relaxed atmosphere.
