A long table, plush bench seating with small tables, high top tables, comfy chairs with tables, and a bar area make up the varied seating options. There was a piano player that was excellent, played lots of songs we knew and some beautiful tunes we hadn't heard before. Not too loud or too soft. The sound was very good, considering this is a long narrow building with hard surfaces. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly, smiling, efficient. We ordered a veggie and hummus platter and a charcuterie plate with our wine. Both were okay, about what you'd expect. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We will definitely come back again, the place was hopping and it's really fun to have a new wine bar in downtown Owatonna!

The rotating menu was always the best part -- new wines, seasonal snacks, and just enough change to keep things interesting without ruining what works. Every visit felt like a little surprise, but never in a "what happened to my favorite thing?" kind of way. The cozy vibe was unbeatable. Dim lights, warm atmosphere, and live entertainment that somehow made me feel like I was in a movie scene about a person who has their life together. (Spoiler: I do not. But I felt like I did when I was here.) I genuinely hope it survived COVID, staffing shortages, economy chaos, and whatever plot twists 2020-present through at local businesses. Please still be the same. Please still have the vibe. Please still have the best wines I never thought to try. If I ever come back to town, I'm heading straight there -- no questions asked. Five stars forever. Try them out if you're in uptown!

As for the coffee, I tried the carrot cake latte as per baristas recommendation and was really good! I got a 12 oz with an extra shot because I like my coffee flavor strong and it was perfect. The espresso has a bit of that bitter taste so if that's not what you like this probably isn't the coffee for you. My only reason for 4 stars is the price. My coffee was 8.92 with no tip so I paid $10 for a 2 shot drink today. I hope that once they have been running the coffee part for a while that the price can come down at least a dollar. Most extra shots are about 75 cents to 1 dollar at other coffee shops whereas it's 1.25 here. Will be back to try other specialty items!

We also split a charcuterie board, which had the perfect variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, and accompaniments to pair with the wines. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely eager to help us find wines we'd enjoy. There was also plenty of easy street parking just around the block. We'd definitely come back!

They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.

It definitely is juicy. So good. Unfortunately the onion rings were not up to par. Couldn't taste the onions at all. They just tasted like breading. But, the burger is terrific so try another side other than the onion rings. They had someone announcing a trivia game that patrons could choose to participate.
