  Went first time the this past friday night.  Very nice place, nice open layout, very comfortable cushioned chairs in middle and several high table/chairs, and of course the bar.  Very interesting a diverse wine selection and bottles I looked at ranged in price from 9$ to  over 50$.  Limited menu but I expect most people aren't going there to eat but get something from menu as an afterthought so without a super-busy kitchen I imagine it's better for them to do a limited number of things well than provide a large menu and mediocre product.  Very nice owner who introduced himself and when my friend couldn't decided which wine to have, brought her out a tasting of one other the Chardonnays that were on special that night.  Also waitress was very friendly and attentive without being too attentive.  Music (jazz trio of electric guitar and bass with drums) was very good.  Overall, a nice, tasteful addition to our community.

  If you happen to be spending a Saturday out toward Gastonia, consider stopping here for their 2 PM wine tasting. Every Saturday. The owner was friendly and the space is really nice. They have a nice bar with a few beers on tap* and even a 10-bottle wine dispenser to purchase a glass of wine. When we were there for the tasting, they were offering 3 wine samples and a beer. Afterwards you can browse through their collection of craft beers or bottles of wine to take some home. The beer fridge isn't huge, but gives you some options if you do need a good cold beer for the road...i mean when you get home and don't want to wait for it to get cold....don't drink and drive. Surprisingly a few months after Noda sold out of their TriUmphant, i found a bottle here! i only bought one, so they may still have one.
  Stopping here definitely made the day more enjoyable as we were waiting for our car getting worked on at the dealer.
  
  It's nice to see another option to pick up some good beer west of Charlotte.
  
  *You should be warned, they currently can't serve full glasses of beer and can't obtain private club status due to certain zoning issues that hopefully will be taken care of next month.
