To our surprise from 3:00-5:00pm on Saturdays they offer a pre-selected wine flights & a small plate for $20. We got to try wines from Spain/Portugal! I will definitely be visiting again!!

The room is quite spacious and was perfect for the wine tasting event. We sampled 2 whites and 3 reds. There were small bites to snack on as well.

My favs of the night were The Initiation' Syrah and Alma de Cattleya Sauvignon Blanc.

Waiting on the fun to begin with food and wine samples…read more Update: Despite the nice venue, gotta say there were some glitches that need to be worked out and shared. The event was advertised online with pre purchased tickets to start at 3. We showed up at 3 and were told that it actually started at 4. No problem, we had a drink inside and enjoyed the vibe. When we tried to cash out, it was a little difficult. There were extra people helping but they ignored me and my friend and walked away after clearing the men at the bar. When the bartender cashed us out, she charged us for the event that we'd purchase tickets for online and that was an ordeal trying to get a credit. As of the morning after, my bank account has a charge and no credit. All in all, I have 4 transactions (all charges) from them when there should be 2. The apps were a nice touch to the event and people seemed to be having fun.

It was kind of slow and quiet, probably because it was midweek.... Allowed our party of 8 to communicate at a normal volume. Hunter was our server tonight... He was very friendly, polite and very thorough on explaining the menu to us. We had some fantastic wine and cocktails. The Bees Knees was amazing and highly recommended... fruity and floral notes. We ordered several appetizers... a cheese tray, pickled beets, Brussel sprouts, beet hummus and onion dip. The sprouts were served with a blue cheese aioli dip and I am not one for blue cheese, but I loved the dip. My favorite were the pickled beets with cheese... They looked like red fries with hair when they arrived at the table. The night ended with a complimentary round of limoncello shots for the group... Absolutely delicious!!! One of the best!! Overall, great experience all the way around... will definitely be back!!

Lenell's Beverage Boutique is a small, quaint shop tucked away in north Birmingham and it is…read moreexactly the kind of place I love stumbling into. Lenell herself is incredible to talk to. She is basically a librarian of beverages. Her knowledge runs deep and she genuinely knows the story, flavor profile, and use for just about every bottle in the shop. Conversations here feel natural and educational, not salesy. A quick heads up for anyone not from Alabama, the state government makes things messy when it comes to alcohol taxes and pricing. That is not on Lenell. She clearly does her best to keep prices reasonable, but the regulations and taxes make it challenging. Knowing that, the value is still there when you look at the quality and uniqueness of the selection. And the selection is what really stands out. It is curated, thoughtful, and downright impressive. I was able to pick up several bottles I have never seen before anywhere else. This is not a grab a bottle and leave type of store. This is a browse, ask questions, discover something new kind of place. If you enjoy unique spirits, interesting bottles, and talking to someone who truly knows their craft, Lenell's is absolutely worth the visit. I am really glad I stopped in and would not hesitate to come back next time I am in Birmingham.

The lady who owns the place has done a fantastic job at curating a remarkable selection of things that you're going to want to try. The vibes are cozy and the decor interesting. The price points span a good range so there's something for everyone. Definitely check out the wine specials. I picked up a dozen assorted bottles to fill up a wine rack that had gone empty, and I was able to do that for what turned out to be less than expected. Will definitely be returning once I need to do that again. Aside from the interesting selection of bottles and the friendly vibes, it's also cool to see new and quirky businesses popping up in areas that are undergoing a revitalization. You love to see it. Long story short this is a very cool spot that you should make it a point to visit. Take the wine lover in your life and let them marvel at the unique selection. Check out the wide array of gins in the bathtub up front. Spend some time browsing the shelves and you might find something you didn't expect to find. Great spot. Local owner. Cool vibes. Interesting selection of things that you might not see everywhere. Go there and check it out for yourself. You'll love it.
