  • We chose this place for a small unofficial gathering of friends and coworkers just to chat and hang out. I was concerned that a wine bar may be too "stuffy" for our crowd, especially one with a terrible, terrible pun for a name- but found D'Vine Wine to be comfortable and upscale, but not pretentious. Located on the second floor of the Ballentyne Village complex, D'Vine Wine overlooks, unfortunately, the rest of the shopping center and a parking lot, but don't take this as much of a criticism- I really liked the second floor location and large balconies. The balconies had several large outdoor couches that would have been nice to hang out on on a nice comfortable summer's evening, but alas, it was winter. We ended up sitting indoors, in several soft chairs, around a leather topped coffee table- which lent our gathering a comfortable homey feel. It was empty when we arrived shortly after 5pm on a Thursday, but as the night continued the bar filled until there was a fairly good sized crowd of 30 somethings chatting and hanging out. I never felt that it got overly crowded and uncomfortable. Wine was available by the glass, half-glass, and bottle. The bottles of Reisling and Syrrah I sampled this evening were excellent, and as luck would have it- half price. (Check the calendar on their website for specials and other events.) We also ordered some appetizers: Toasted bread with apple, fig, and brie, Stuffed Portobello Mushroom, and Hummus with toasted pita points. There were three kinds of Hummus, and they were acceptable, but not substantially distinct from one another except in color. The toast with brie was good, though very sweet, more like a dessert than an appetizer. I did not sample the Mushroom, because it was laughably small. I would expect an appetizer that consists of a single portobello mushroom to be at least 4 to 6 times the size of the one on the plate we received. This was more like the size of a single stuffed regular mushroom from any other restaurant - you know- where you do, in fact, get six of them. They did give us another order of toasted pita points without us having to ask, even though we were not sitting a table. All in all- I enjoyed the evening, and this was a nice place to hang out, sit and chat. We will be making a trip there next month as well.
