Your Vine Or Mine

My friend had come into town due to a death in her family and her husband told me that she was really stressed. I suggested going out to relax and get her mind off the situation. We went to Your Vine or Mine and just sat and relaxed with a glass or 2 of wine. My friends said that the wine was excellant and the atmosphere was just what was needed. They want us to take them back there the next time they come into town. This is one of our favorite wineries!

Cute, dimly lit little place.  But I don't like when bars burn scented candles.  It smelled more like a Yankee Candle store than a wine bar.  They allegedly make all of their own wines.  I selected their Sauvignon Blanc which they said was made in New Zealand...well, it didn't have any characteristcs of a true NZ style Sauvignon Blanc.  The bruschetta appetizer is non-traditional...it's on a chewy dough with tomatoes mixed in balsamic vinegar.  The cheese plate was pedestrian...Crunchmaster crackers, regular cheddar cheese, and regular swiss cheese.  I expected some artisanal cheese...sigh.  This place has A LOT of potential because it is very cute and cozy.  But the food and wine quality is just okay.

Your Vine or Mine is a charming winery/wine bar in the downtown Painesville square.  It's really a hidden gem.  With antique furniture and well thought out decorative details, Your Vine or Mine serves as the perfect spot to spend an evening with friends sampling some of their many wines.  But if you're more ambitious, you can bottle your own wine, selecting one of the many delicious recipies used in house.
