They serve you quickly and you never have to wait to order more. Although this is a very enjoyable wine bar, it is a little too upscale & pricey for the area. There are no flights, specials, or happy hours, so I don't go nearly as often as I'd like. I really wish they had some kind of specials so I could enjoy it more often. It seems like a place that would be in south tampa or downtown, but being in Lutz it would be nice if was more affordable for locals. It also lacks the fun and charisma that used to be there under the previous owners. Tastings, classes, events like trivia night, or weekly specials would really make this bar feel more lively & welcoming.

Wine, snacks, apps, friendly people. What's not to love?…read more Louie's Wine Bar is a sweet little stop on Van Dyke Road, in the same plaza as Nabruzzi Trattoria. The restaurant can get crazy busy, so parking can be wonky, but thankfully, there is a back parking lot and a back entrance to Louie's Wine bar. In huge latters above the back door it says WINE BAR. You can't miss it. In fact, I think I prefer to park out back, because the spots in the front lot are so tight. Anyway, come on in, sit at the bar, or in a comfy chair or at a high top, nobody minds. Coralee, Robert or Lee will greet you warmly, and get you a glass of water while you peruse the extensive wine menu. They offer a huge variety of whites, rose's , bubbles and red wines by the glass, by the bottle and some even by the half bottle. Pick your poison. If you are having trouble deciding, they will pour you a taste to compare to help you make your best decision. They also have a small but thorough food selection. Flatbreads, boards and snacks to satisfy your hunger no matter the level. I find this Wine bar a lovely addition to the neighborhood, a great place to unwind and hang out with old friends and make some new ones as well.

We stopped in on a Thursday evening without a reservation and were very pleased to find seating available at the bar. Victor, the owner, took care of our party himself. He's got a wealth of knowledge about the wines and products he stocks, so do not hesitate to ask him for a recommendation. Also, definitely DO ask him to serve up some of La Vid's house snacks, like their house Manchego cheese -- absolutely delicious! And then, of course, there's the wine and sundries selection. Some of the items we ended up buying: Lial Tempranillo from Ribera de Duero; canned polpo gallego (Galician style octopus); Fermin brand 100% Iberico de bellota (acorn-fed) lomo (pork loin), jamon (ham), salchicion (salame-style pork sausage), and dry cured chorizo sausage, along with a jar of the house Manchego I mentioned earlier. As you can imagine, it was not an inexpensive visit, but it was definitely an enjoyable one. We don't get out to Carrollwood very often at all, but La Vid Fine Wines may just change that.

I almost inadvertently reviewed the Lutz location so it's possible others are overlooking the location difference.

I had the Hope Dies Last red blend while my date had the Red My Mind tasting flight for $28. The sommelier we had was super knowledgeable although it took quite a while to place our first order since the bar he was tending to was full. We didn't order any food since we were heading to dinner shortly after, but I definitely intend to return for a visit with friends in the near future!

Frankly I'm surprised by this dismissive treatment.

A friend and I ordered the Japanese curry and short ribs, and both were disappointing. The portions were surprisingly small, and the curry tasted like a generic TV dinner that had just been warmed up. For the price, I expected much better. We actually ended up going next door to GrillSmith afterward because we were still hungry, which says a lot. That said, the wine selection was excellent, and the staff was very knowledgeable. If you're just looking for a great place to enjoy wine, this might be worth a visit. But if you're hoping for a full dining experience, I'd say skip the food and go elsewhere.

Tampa's First Korean Wine Bistro…read more When you visit Seoul, you will find many new trending Korean wine bars. I'm excited to be the first to tell you that you can now have that sweet Seoul experience here in Tampa‼ Perfect date night spot 미각 Migak, means "taste" and I was thoroughly shook when I tried the food and wine pairings at this cozy space off of Dale Mabry. The food here is so delicious, just like my time spent in Korea. Innovative dishes like Truffle Jajangttoek, my favorite so far. Korean owned and operated, the owners also own a few of these amazing food pairing wine bars in Korea, and the chef has also lived and culinary trained in France. They have their hand on the pulse of what is popular in Korea as well as the US. We are so lucky to have this establishment! You won't find anywhere else like this in Tampa Bay. I'm definitely coming back for dessert and to try more! The Migak sommelier is here to help you choose wines that will pair perfectly with the plates that you order. Check the menu online to see that the prices are shockingly low for the quality of food provided. If you are like me and don't drink really, then you can just visit to eat their delicious food. I loved EVERY dish I tried so far. 1 트러플 짜장 떡볶이 Truffle Jajangttoekbokki paired with Red - Rich truffle flavor paired with umami black bean sauce in this popular Korean fusion rice cake dish. Paired with Malbec. 2 골수 Bone Marrow - Not many places serve this dish in Tampa! The exquisite fatty flavors are emphasized by the fresh herbs used. A must-try. 3 Chicken Skewers - The plump, glossy bites of heaven are dark meat, fatty, glazed and tender. The tangy and slightly spicy sauce matches well with the fatty meat. Paired with Reisling. 4 명태전 Pollack Joen - Fried egg washed fritters, served with a side salad. A very popular dish in Korea. Sometimes whole restaurants just serve various joen as their main menu. Paired with Gruner. 5 불구기 쌈 Bulgogi Ssam - Premade lettuce wraps with just the perfect amount of toppings and sauces, as the chef intended. Paired with white burgundy. 6 카레 Korean Curry - Some say it tastes similar to the popular Japanese curry, but this curry is definitely in it's own category of yummy. As the only Asian food specialist that has written about specifically Korean cuisine and visted Korea multiple times, can speak, read, and write in Hangul --- Migak is my favorite Korean restaurant in Tampa Bay hands down. Keep them open. Protect them at all costs.
