Our journey to Vintner Wine Market was born in a groupon email that we decided to go for. Half off booze and food...who are we to turn that down. So of course we wait until the day it expires and head on over.
The place is pretty easy to find. It's in the Arboretum shopping center and parking is easy. Basically it's an ex-music store in a glorified strip mall but the atmosphere is as good as it can be given the circumstances.
The food we can save you a lot of time on: don't bother. It's expensive and portions are small but not in the good fancy restaurant kind of way. The crab dip we got for an appetizer was a bit misleading unless you knew that "crab dip" actually meant "heated up mayonnaise". And the 10 honey chipotle wings I ordered were literally the smallest wings I've ever had. I could have held all 10 in the palm of one hand. They were listed as free range chicken wings...if that's the case I'll take the hormones, thanks. The flatbread pizza thingy's were ok though but a small portion.
Drinks however are a different story. Lots of beers on tap and bottled. A whole store of wine by the bottle plus a decent by the glass selection. We liked both (red) wines we got. That's really the moral of the story here: Go for the alcohol and skip the rest.
We give it 2 vintners out of 5 for our experience. Although as a place just to go for drinks we would bump that up to 3.
