Twisted Vine

There’s an abundance of these ‘specialist’ bottle shops springing up around the place and until recently I was less than convinced. But then a friend took me on a tour of the Mountain Goat brewery and we talked beer and, specifically, ales for a couple of hours. From that conversation (I’ll spare you the details), I have not gone back to drinking lagers at all and I don’t think I ever will.
The Twisted Vine stocks many fine ales and has a shit hot wine selection. They have running deals, none of that changing prices on a whim kind of shit, and do awesome specials and tasting sessions. They also have an open fire in winter and the place just has this rad vibe about it like they’re happy to serve you piss, no matter your budget. On a few occasions I’ve been in and asked what they’d recommend for wine under ten bucks. They don’t bat an eye and their selections have been killer.
