| - Upping it a notch to FIVE STARS....Why? Well, we had a Charlotte Wine Appreciation group Meetup here this past Thursday night, and it was $5 wine night! ALL wines were $5. And they did NOT scimp out on the pours. They really did a GREAT job in handling the large crowd they had even though they were short staffed. So kudos to Nicole the bartender/waitress. I felt really bad for her at first, but she finally got a little help and the ship was righted......
The ONE thing that Management MUST do is PROVIDE MORE FRIGGIN MENUS! How could a WINE BAR only have like THREE MENUS available for a large group? Come on people.....Print a dozen or so. Hell use a copying machine. We DO have the technology!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR (Only criticism of the place for that evening.....not enough to remove the final star though...)
Anyway, back at the ranch.....before the wine drinking festivities began, I was STAHHHAAAVIN so I got the menu from 131 Main (of which they are affiliated with, thankfully) and Nicole recommended the Prime Rib Sandwich. OH MY.....GOOD CALL! Very scrumptuous.....super tender. I didn't even need teeth to eat it! It practically melted in my mouth! THAT good. Came with Au Jus and fries, which were good but a TAD TOO thin....while I like shoestring fries, these were more like Dental Floss fries.....I even had trouble picking them up. BUT THEY WERE GOOD! So no real complaints there.....just whining. :-)
Now that my belly was FULL, I started imbibing for the evening. They have a limited but well selected choice of wines, and I chose a variety of them for the evening. At $5 for generous pours, it was a great night!
Finally, I met some awesome new friends here thanks to Yelp! Marco and Allyson met up with me and my friends, and we got to know one another while drinking delicious wine. What a great evening! Can't wait to do it again.
Cu I will SEE YOU again soon! :-)
