The helpful & kind woman that helped me was very informative, understanding, & patient in helping me pick the right merlots & whites for our tastes in the limited time I had in the store. Discounts are offered for 6 bottles or more. Bring your own wine bag (bought mine at Lowe's foods for $.01) & holds 6 bottles! Lots of cheeses, essential oils, etc offered from knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend & will be coming back again and again. Thanks!

For people from big cities used to wine shops with tasting and wine festivals, this place is not so…read morehot. I came upon the shop on the way home from work one day . it looked really cute inside so I thought I'd take some friends to wine tasting. So disappointed. Place charges double on every wine bottle from the prices we looked up. Then you pay a $6 corking fee. To top it off, for the wines they were "sampling", they might as well have just shown us the bottle and not opened them. We were told to bring our own glasses but wine got poured in tiny white plastic cups. And when I say pour I mean two literal drops of wine. We bought 2 bottles to support local business out of guilt but they really need to research how wine tasting places do it. Giving 2 stars because the interior was really cute.

There are very few food related activities that are not super expensive or fair food events, so…read morekudos for offering something affordable and fun for locals during the dreary off season. 18 local restaurants; $30; walk DT Morehead City and hear blues and taste appetizer bites...all for a good cause. Feedback: Positives: great organization for the event-- signage and map well done; more than enough food and free beverages at each site; priced right. All entries were edible, wait times almost nonexistent, great venues. Cons: WAY TOO MUCH FRIED FOOD...too much grease for our entire party; way too little variety...short ribs, duck and all rather bland...spice and green/veg it up! ; too much egg roll type stuff--burns your mouth or soggy since this is not a serve at one time event things that were cold like crab salad or sauced were more eater friendly. Kudos to all who offered ethnic fare...I'll even count the nacho since we are so ethnically-deprived here. Lastly, turn down the music...several were WAY too loud we could not even have a discussion inside. Make improvements and we will return!

Downtown New Bern is home to The Pepsi Store, otherwise known as the Birthplace of Pepsi Cola. The…read morestore is located where, back in 1893, Caleb Bradham developed "Brad's Drink." Brad's Drink was created as a digestive aid containing pepsin and kola nuts. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898. Today, the Pepsi Store is a soda fountain, a museum and a gift shop. Caleb Bradham's original pharmacy was a wooden building that burned down before he died in the 1930s. A new brick building was constructed after the fire. The museum is in both the soda fountain side of the store and the gift shop section, too. You can read about the history and see the original fountain tools, Pepsi bottles, advertising, and antique collectibles. The walls and pillars have a lot of detailed signage. I didn't try anything at the Soda Fountain as I don't like Pepsi, but I kind of regret not getting a float. I think it would have been fun to sit at the fountain. But I was too busy reading about the history. Apparel was a big item in the gift shop; they had had socks, t-shirts, sweatshirts and even baby bibs. Tumblers, books, puzzles, stuffed toys, key chains, magnets, decals, signs and stationery (greeting cards and postcards). Restrooms were also available inside, which is a great convenience for those walking around downtown. I got to see Bradham's house on the New Bern Trolley tour, the Slover-Bradham House. It was built in 1848 and is a beautiful Greek Revival mansion. Whether you are a fan of the drink or just a fan of North Carolina history, this is a must-stop in New Bern. You can go back in time and see where Pepsi began.

The store has a great selection of Pepsi merchandise, collectibles, apparel, and gifts, and it's neat knowing you're visiting the birthplace of such an iconic brand in New Bern, North Carolina.
