  My husband and I stumbled into the Lake Travis Wine Trader one Sunday afternoon.  Well not actually stumbling but after making a quick stop at a business near the front of the collection of mall shops, we spotted this delightful wine bar and retail store.  The owner and wine pourer for the day was very knowledgeable and showcases a very respectable selection of wines from around the world. The facility is very comfortable and seems to cater to special orders for several of the local regulars that came and went while we sat at the bar. We will definitely be back to visit when in the Lakeway area.
  
  And, note if you need a mani/pedi, you can pick up a glass before heading a few doors down to the local spa - then return the glass when finished with your spa service.  How great is that?

  Great bar, amazing wine choices, fun atmosphere, and friendly staff. Wish this place was in Austin! Worth the drive to Lakeway. For those in Lakeway, get over there asap.

  Some of the best features of wine are the people with whom you are drinking.
  Wine and people are the very best.

  The finest wine bar in all of Austin is located in Lakeway behind Wendy's on RR 620. The regulars all know each other which reminds me of Cheers. I believe most of their customers are knowledgable wine people who know fine wine much unlike most other wine bar patrons.

  Walked by this little place on my way to the Spicy Parrott last nite for little ole lady friend's birthday.  I was Astonished that we, as Professional Drinkers, had never noticed this little place and then seeing it had never been reviewed either, I assumed it had just opened.  
  
  Nope, the nice man behind the bar said they've been open for FIVE YEARS!!  I need to have my wine bar radar maintenanced!  The place was crowded as they were having a vintner's tasting but we wedged into a coupla stools at the bar.  Immediately this place reminded me of a Vino 100.  Lots of bottles for sale along the walls but unlike V100, whose bottles were all $25 or less, there is a wide range of prices here.  You can also drink by the glass or by the "taste", a 2 oz pour.  
  
  We each had one glass of wine and I grilled the barkeep about the biz as is my Yelp right.  They have an ingenuous device set up with spigots for the wine that keeps the O2 levels in opened bottles just right.  They also do frequent tastings, including every Sat and Sun (these are for a fee tho).  
  
  We enjoyed our wines (a Riesling for LOLF and a Tempranillo for me) and our conversation with the barkeep, who was very nice and tolerant of LOLF's quirks.  
  
  We'll definitely come back, maybe sit outside and have some wine and a cheese plate or panini now that it's on my radar!
