Grapevine

Good Ole South Carolina Awesomeness..
While working in Fort Mill, SC at a client site I became a tourist and fan of the Baxter Village restaurants and shops.
I stumbled across this wine bar after dinner at The Fish Market which is across the street, while walking to my car.
This place immediately became my new wine hang out  (Wine is Wisdom ;-)
The manager Dave was VERY welcoming and immediately welcomed me to the bar and had me trying all types of wines before I decided on the wine I wanted to indulge it.
After talking about what I do, where I'm from among other things I ended up with the Red Flight as I was trying to get into Reds at the time and after my flight I must say
The Red Flight is a MUST!!
I LOVE this place, it's like CHEERS everyone is so down to earth and friendly there this includes the staff and the patrons. I never had anything to eat there as I am ALWAYS ready for some wine but I have brought gifts for my wine loving friends as they also sell Cute trinkets.
I brought my girlfriend a shirt for her Birthday that said
Water has Bacteria
Wine is Healthy and something else I can't remember but it was Funny and cute. I also brought a cute Wine book for pairing that I presented to her as well

Overall a great place in Baxter Village that I plan to take my friends to this summer around my birthday. I decided to move to NC after working in NC for a year so it's just a short drive (in my opinion) away from Charlotte.

I don't know how they do it - every time I'm in Grapevine, the place is bumpin', but the staff just keeps jumpin'.  From beer to cider to wine, the options are plentiful and will satisfy a range of palettes.  You can order by the glass or by the bottle, and if nothing on the menu strikes your fancy, feel free to pick a bottle from the store and have it corked right there.  The staff is knowledgable about the choices and will help you make decisions.  Food options are small but tasty and feel like little treats (dear god, I love some humbold fog cheese).  Indoor bar seating, indoor table seating, and two outdoor seating areas (alongside the sidewalk and in a side patio with firepits) mean you can almost always find a place to rest your rump.  Cheers to Grapevine!

Grapevine has earned 5 stars.  They now have 10-14 rotating taps and you can have any growler filled with any of them unlike in NC.  They always get good beer in for their special one-time cask events, and everyone who works here is very nice and friendly.  They also do a lot of charitable events and their Beertopia is one of the best beer festivals in the Charlotte area selling out days in advance with no advertising.  It looks like it might be a pretentious wine shop from the outside, but it is very laid back and there is always good beer.
