My friend recommended this place to me and I couldn't be happier that I listened to his advice. Like him, I was tired of what Charlotte had to offer in the way of wine bars. Most places are either overpriced, too loud, or the food missesdthe mark. Vintage delivers on all fronts. The selections on the wine list are fantastic and reasonable, the food is AWESOME and freshly made in house, and the decor is very comfortable and sleek.
We really loved the mix and match flight option on the menu. You can mix up to any 4 wines on the menu and make a "flight" out of it. What is unique is the way that Vintage presents the flight to you. It comes in a "flight tray" with 4 small glasses lined up beside each other with descriptions spelled out for each. Very clever. The food is fantastic and is great as a snack or as a full meal. We loved the bruschetta options, all 8 of them. Some of our favorites were the Roasted Red Pepper suffed with Garlic Goat Cheese, Wild Mushroom Pesto, Smoked Salmon Mousse, and the Brie, Apple & Fig Spread. We also shared a Vintage Roast Beef Panini that was out of this world and served on freshly baked bread.
Finally, after dinner, we checked out the retail store for a bottle to take home. The organization is awesome and the selection is top notch. We loved the display of the "Top 15 under 15" and the climate controlled cellar with over 75 types of wine. This place is polished, friendly, and the perfect place to enjoy some great wine. This is how a Wine Experience should be. Oh, did I mention the prices are very reasonable. I love this place!
