One year later, and this is still one of my favorite spots! My fiancé and I are here at least every…read moreother week. It is a great place to meet friends, listen to live music, eat pizza from the nearby truck, etc. The owner and employees at Cork & Screw are so friendly and helpful, and it is clear that they are passionate about what they do. They have a wonderful area out back full of seating options, including fire pits for the colder weather, and there is a stage back there for bands to play. It's truly such a sweet spot! My only qualm here is the parking (but to be honest, this is an issue for most places in Austin, so this is not specific to Cork & Screw). There is street parking in the neighborhood nearby, and a small lot around the corner, but this always fills up. All in all, definitely one of my ATX favorites!

A friend who's opinion I really respect recommended Antonelli's Cheese Shop for a three cream…read morecheese. I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot. But the space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor is really fun with great photo opportunities, as is the inside. It was also perfectly temperature controlled.

I was excited to visit and ended up…read moreparking up the hill; their parking lot is like a postage stamp and with the taco trailer the spots were already full. I had a complimentary drink ticket and decided to stick around for another. I'm not a wine drinker but I usually drink reds when I do. The selection was not very broad but there was a large menu of other non-wine drinks. I ended up trying the Frose which could have been mixed a little more, the wine was definitely separated out at the bottom. The charcuterie board was a little disappointing, one of those pre-made trays that were reminiscent of those buy on board boxes you'd get on airplanes. The inside was definitely IG/TT friendly, brightly colored, neon signs, like an influencers dream but on an early weekday afternoon it was quiet.

When we arrived, the bartender seemed more interested in explaining the concept of "natural" wine to another group than acknowledging our party, and the service felt a bit curt throughout our visit. We sampled five different wines, from rosé to orange wine, but every one of them just had a noticeably sour flavor. Maybe that's part of the natural wine style, but considering the cost of the tasting, the experience overall was very disappointing.

Vine Vault staffs a fantastic sommelier, Nicole, who is hands on with personal service and planned events.

Inside the facility is the actual bank vault and the exterior vault door is a key piece of the decor as you enter from the garage.

It's very…read morecute you book it with time and they do like a whole little set up placement for you and your friends so you can try all the types of wines that they have and they give you small little charcuterie boards. It's very nice because the person that you get is very knowledged on the wines and let you know the flavors and the notes and what it's good to be paired with and what it's made with and everything like that. I definitely love their rosé and their Pinot Grigio. This is a perfect girls night. At the end they let you have a glass of your favorite wine and also purchase a box of it with a nice discount.

Each BOXT equals 4 bottles and is compostable. I've tried all the flavors, and #1 is my favorite. It's very light and completely refreshing.  A truly delightful white wine. I'm a hard-core red drinker and BOXT has sold me on A WHITE! Today it was hand-delivered to my home. I received a text the day before with a very specific time (12:43) when my wine would be delivered, +/- 30 minutes.  Crazy! Not 12:45; not 12:40. The driver texted me he was on his way and then I was sent a tracking link. They have deliveries down tight. The delivery driver was friendly and told me about my wine when he handed it over. When I mentioned I can't recall which red I like, he tried to help me figure it out. Talk about service! Also, when asked, told me he really loved his job. I have no doubt! I am sold on this fabulous, Austin-based, woman-owned business.  Please support BOXT!
