Just relocating here from southern Ohio with a new position with Greenheck. Was driving to look for a new home and found this place! I pulled into the driveway asked if the place was opened and the owners Sue and Brian were on their new Terrence enjoying a glass of their wine and responded yes! We are– we own the place come on and join us. I did and spent a great afternoon over some fantastic wine sharing our stories. This is the place to go to have some outstanding wine and share the passion of a local business owners who are living the dream ! Hope to see you there Kathy from Troy Ohio

Found this hidden gem on accident and it is so cute! The wine is absolutely fabulous! I am personally more of a fan of the sweeter wines and they have such good ones! I tried the moscato and i ended up buying a bottle because it was THAT awesome. I waaaanted to buy a bottle of the peach apricot tango, but my fiancé was being a party pooper. I absolutely LOVED the pomegranate zing which is a Zinfandel! It apparently is their best seller and I can definitely see why. They have SUCH an awesome list and allow you to try! Glasses are only 4 or 5 dollars too! My fiancé likes the dryer wines and he ended up liking everything that he tried too! Sue was the one that ended up helping us at the bar and she was so so sweet and nice and helpful. we found out later that she was the owner.

I work downtown and have made this a regular meeting place with friends after work. They are great about letting you sample their wines so you know what you’re buying before you get a glass or a bottle (to go). Very friendly staff and some interesting wine flavors. My favorite is the Pomegranate Zing. They also have a wine club. I believe if you buy 10 bottles you get 1 free. Their wine is my new go-​to gift item. It’s always fun to share a locally made product both with locals and family out of state!

We stumbled upon this little treasure in Wausau one day when we were trying to kill time. We did some tasting of course and the associate was super helpful. Wines tend to be on the fruit side, but also have a few dry wines that are a hit. I walked away with a half case!

Very quaint and cozy.
You can ‘belly up’ to the bar to sample wines or sit next to the fireplace on the sofa and enjoy a glass.
Wines were delicious and reasonably priced per glass at $ 3 to $ 4 depending.
They also offer unique gifts, including bottled wines made by the owners.
Worth a stop if you are downtown.
There is plenty of parking in the back of the shop also, which is a bonus considering this is in the downtown area!
