My husband the oenophile had to come to this place once we decided to take a weekend trip to…read moreSpringfield. Here's the story....when we were in Italy in 2007 we ate at a fabulous restaurant in Rome. When we inquired as to which wine they would recommend with our meal they suggested a Pinot Grigio. We thought...Yuck, why would we want a watered down wine like that when were in once of the best food and wine cities in the world? They said no no no, this is not like that. You will love it. We did. Back to the states....where can we find this wine?! An internet search led us to The Corkscrew, one of like only three places in the states that carried it. We had a friend pick us up a few bottles, but had never been there ourselves. So onto this weekend, we had to go have a look see. Well the place is chock full of special bottles just like the one we had from Italy (that winery is since changed hands and not the same). Lots of interesting and unusual wines from small wineries. In addition on Fridays they have "Friday @ Five" - wine by the glass 5-8pm. For 5 dollars you get a glass of wine that they are sampling that evening. We tasted two really nice ones this past Friday.

I'm truly impressed by how knowledgeable they are about the menu options. The server told me that every time the menu changes, they have an All Staff Meeting where they all eat the new items while the chef educates them about the ingredients and cooking process. Every restaurant should do this!! I was there with my Mom and we both had amazing meals that were so good we were happy to have leftovers for later! I'm not in the area very often but I look forward to visiting whenever I am!!

It's right across from the capital, so the view is nice, and Abraham Lincoln is just outside (I had to adjust his tie, see PIC).

We went on a Friday afternoon, and there were people in there, but still quiet, which was nice. We sat at the bar, and our server was helpful and checked us without being overbearing. The menu selection is great - not too small, not too big. Wines from different US locations, but also France, Italy, etc., so a nice option for everyone. They also had a board with special limited releases. We each had our own glass of wine and shared a third to try 3 different wines. Their prices are super reasonable, and they have quality selections. We also ordered some cheese to snack on. Delicious charcuterie options, as well as some other items like The Rock's hummus - yum! This is such a gem for the area. You can also take items home and shop from their storefront. Nice staff and a thoughtful menu. We will be back next time we are in town!
