The building dates back to the early 20th century, which gives the place a really cold vibe. They have done a great job with the interior of the space; plenty of seating, board games downstairs and a really cool bar. The beverages were excellent, and the service was even better. Our server and the chef took time to "chat us up" and tell us about the Wyndridge story. Sadly, we didn't have time to eat, but the menu looked enticing and the next time we are in town, we will make sure enjoy a meal. If you are in the area, put Wyndridge on your hit list, you won't be disappointed.

The customer service alone made the visit memorable--super friendly, not pushy, and happy to walk us through all the options. We opted for the $10 tasting flight, which let us choose 6 wines of our choice--such a great value! They had a really impressive variety, from crisp whites to bold reds and even a few unique blends. Whether you're new to wine or more experienced, there's definitely something for every palate here. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Great wine, great service, great vibes.

This space was so clean and had such a nice variety of items for purchase. I decided to try a wine slushie and was not disappointed. I decided to mix the tropical one with the mango one. The 8 oz version was 8 dollars and worth every penny. I will absolutely return if/when I am in the area.

This was a very different thing than I expected. I'm giving it 5 stars for what it is (rather than…read morewhat I was expecting). 1) Their wine is all from Northern California. If you're thinking you'll be trying PA wines, that is not the case. If you're wanting a change from PA wines, this is a great opportunity! 2) This is a wine tasting place in a strip mall. From the outside it's extremely unassuming... but it's well labeled, so you can be confident you're in the right place. The inside looks as you'd like: spacious, clean, room to relax. As I was sitting inside, casually doing a tasting, I completely forgot we were in a strip mall. Well-done! An added bonus of the location: there are a LOT of good food choices nearby! The prices. Yowza! I did like some of the wines, but not enough to pay for the bottle (~$40). But I enjoyed a tasting ($10 for 4 tastings) and also ordered an extra glass of wine. They have 2 fixed tasting menus to choose from. I asked to switch out one of the wines for a different one, and that wasn't a problem at all. The customer service was nice. The woman was friendly and attentive, and not obtrusive or pushy. She was there when I wanted her, but was also content to let me sit, relax, and enjoy the wine. I love the ambience. There are a lot of tables and chairs, placed nicely around so you can enjoy your own space or have a nice drink with friends without being on top of each other. A wine bar of sorts. It is nicely decorated - feels warm and welcoming.

Really, this place is just weird. We've been here 4 times now, all with local flavor deals. The…read moreambiance is nice. It's in a strip mall, but is quite large and nice inside with artwork and wine themed displays. It just seems like they are incredibly overwhelmed when we come in. I don't know if they need more staff or what. I'm going to focus more on the most recent visit. I called to make reservations (you are supposed to) and the woman who was working seemed shocked that I wanted to make same day reservations. However, she agreed. We went in and there was some sort of loud group in one of the rooms. At first she seemed very attentive to us. However, the amount of wine poured for the tastings this time was so small and that was shocking. When you get the local flavor deal, apparently you are supposed to get bigger pours (this is what she ended up telling us and what we've been told before) You also get goat cheese, crackers, etc. which are quite nice. Also, really, their wine isn't great. It's more for the experience it took us this many times to really realize it. Anyways, after the first second tasting, our server vanished for about 20ish minutes. She finally came back to give us our 3rd tasting (you get 4) and that was it for at least another 20ish minutes. All in all we spent about an hour and a half and that was because of all the wait times. Another couple came in and sat at the bar who didn't have the deal; it was obvious they were worth the attention more than us local flavor people. I really advise them to stop doing this deal. They get overwhelmed easily and I ended up feeling like I was hounding them to serve us. I wanted a glass of wine (an actual glass at the end) and my wife had to go up to the woman to ask for one for me. It was over 13.00. Not worth it... I'd rather go get a nice cocktail some place for that price. Inevitably, The local flavor deal is not even that great of a deal, particularly when you feel like you are being put on the back burner in favor of other customers. We won't be going back.

Service was friendly and I think overall the prices here are reasonable. Was not big on their whites - they were a bit to austere for our taste. The grunier vetliner holds promise but it's missing some of that wonderful pepper spicy note that you typically get. On the red side, they're entry-level wine, which is Redbone was actually our favorite kind of a pizza style light red. I also thought the title, which is there biggest red was pretty decent and they had a new release which I didn't catch the name of but tasted, and it was a Good one as well. Knocked on some cheese and bread with a music in the background and a beautiful deck. A worthwhile destination on a beautiful Saturday

Owners Evita and Solise have created a space that shows appreciation to the culture, while celebrating the stories of people of African diaspora through literature and art. For those who are reading this and are from the DMV area think of Busboy & Poets but with a little twist. So what's the twist you ask? They offer beer and wine through a self-serve tap system. Meaning you receive a wristband that allows you to help yourself to a variety of local beers and wine. Each is charged by the ounce and is charged to your tab at the end of your visit. An added bonus is two of the wines that were available were made in-house; the Concord Jungle and Mizz Education. We enjoyed the Mizz Education which is a sweet and refreshing Moscato so much we ended up taking two bottles home with us. Let me just say this, I've been to my fair share of restaurants for brunch and the food at Concrete Rose hands down is the top 5 best food I've ever had. We tried a variety of options which include the Salmon Avocado Toast, Soul of the Sea and Chicken wings with concord bbq sauce. All were seasoned, cooked and plated to perfection. Whew Lord just thinking about those crab cakes with herbed garlic butter and remoulade sauce has me thinking about taking a road trip to get some more. Ambiance, food and service are all top tier at A Concrete Rose. Do yourself a favor and check them out. There's so much there for you to see and try! I can promise you one thing, you won't be disappointed. Evita and Solise you've outdone yourselves on this one! So proud of what you both have accomplished. Keep shining ladies, the world needs your light!

I've been to a few oil tasting rooms and this one is my absolute favorite to date! Hubs and I had such a ball tasting all of the different oils from balsamic...dark, white, fruit flavored.

A huge variety! There's a ton of nifty salts and rubs, pastas, even olive oil bath goods and delicious smelling soaps I had to pick up also! They had the cutest seasonal display for grilling accompaniments in summer. I can safely assume that table in the back changes themes with the time of year so look forward to somethings back there to get you in the mood of the season! Prices were very comparable to what I'm used to paying in a specialty store. The staff was so incredibly helpful and they even gift wrap!! Such a great place to create or pick up a pre-made gift basket for that certain someone who enjoys cooking. I have been known to throw together an oil olive, fun pasta, a salt, some fresh bread, a nice bottle of wine, a cook book and/or apron for a cozy, winter holiday gift. This place would be a perfect spot to do so! My mom loved her seasonal summer fruit oils set I picked up here which can be used for shrimp and fish marinades, salad dressings or even in pound cakes instead of regular canola oil! How genius?! Top with some whipped cream and fresh fruit! The fab staff told me about that one! I personally loved my Vermont maple balsamic and olive oil soaps. My girls loved the zebra pasta! A great, super fun stop!

My most recent experience was their Wine and Cheese Pairing, which is featured every January. Each year, they curate a combination of local cheese and either honey/jam to pair with their wines, and every year, it's a hit. My favorite pairing this year involved their Pinot Rose, a delicious cheddar, and an orange ginger honey that was absolutely delightful.
