d’Vine is a nice “wine bar” experience that allows you to experiment and refine your tastes in wine in a non-intimidating environment. With its casual atmosphere, small food plates and great wine at reasonable prices, the bar may become so popular they will need to expand.

Atmosphere:  Stepping into d’vine was like stepping into a sardine can mainly because of the tightness of the room as well as the smell of fish. We assume someone ordered a fishy dish that had no place to air out. There are tables and chairs through the center of this small room and booth like bench seating along the east wall, but don’t try scooting your chair out. There is a small bar area but no one was sitting at it and it did not appear inviting in such a small place. The décor in this dimly lit space was a feeble attempt to detract from the fact this bar is sadly a converted strip mall store front. There is a small patio out front, but useless for dining on cold nights, but nice otherwise. The crowd here was mostly couples and small groups enjoying tapas and wine.

Service:  Our server was quick and polite. She knew her wine and made several recommendations. No complaints where the service was concerned.

Drinks:  We both had and enjoyed a flight of wine.  Some favorites of ours were: Cashmere a blend by Cline, Cabernet Sauvignon by Chateau St. Jeans.  To be honest neither of us is that knowledgeable about wines, but we can definitely appreciate the ones we like. 

Food:  The menu is made up of Tapas, flat bread, salads, soups and small plates. We tried the Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus and Hot Goat Cheese, Spinach & Artichoke Dip. All very good but left us wanting more!

Amenities: Patio, Gluten Free Menu, Reservations.

Parking:  There is parking located in the lot surrounding the shopping center it is located in.

The Buzz:  Happy Hour  from 3 pm to 6 pm daily, live music every Thursday and Sunday evening, half off on all 2 oz tasting pours of wine on Tuesdays, half off all bottles of wine priced under $50 and 25% off bottles over $50 on Sundays.
