In keeping with my string of world's largest, Duplin Winery, in Rose Hill, NC, is the World's…read morebest-selling muscadine winery and the oldest winery in North Carolina. It opened back in 1972 and has been family-owned for three generations. Their wines are typically made from muscadine and scuppernong grapes. I learned that they also carry Mothervine Wine, which comes from clippings of the 400-year-old vine in Roanoke Island. Duplin Winery was allowed to take clippings from this Mother Vine and established a new vineyard. Legend suggests the vine may have been planted by Croatan Native Americans or settlers of the Lost Colony. Scuppernong grapes are a white muscadine variety that is North Carolina's official state fruit. Duplin Winery is also known as the winery of the South. There is a large parking lot. The building's exterior looks rustic. Inside, you will be greeted when you enter the door. Remember to get your basket or cart, as it is difficult to carry items without one. The first room has the wines and food products. They had a section for sampling the dips, salsas, crackers and other items. The other room has the wine tasting and gift shop. Then, beyond that, there is the Bistro. I was delighted to find non-alcoholic wines. They offered Muscadine cider, Scuppernong (white), and Muscadine (red). I left with all three. While I didn't get to try the specific Mothervine wine, I did get to try the Alcohol-Free Scuppernong at the Bistro, which features the same historic state fruit variety that made the Mother Vine famous! The gift shop has items to find those perfect gifts or just something for yourself. From the rustic charm to the friendly greeting at the door, Duplin Winery truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Winery of the South.' It's a great stop for the history, the gifts, and the delicious sweet treats.

The ambience was cute and I loved the fresh flowers everywhere, I thought it was a beautiful touch! Lots of seating options -- tables, bar top, and comfy options like couches and cushy seats. The food was great, we got a shareable spread that came with 3 different dips and 3 different crackers/breads and all were very tasty. I also got a snack topper, its like a mini charcuterie board on top of your wine glass. I've never seen it anywhere else but I was obsessed and it was delicious, they even change up the meats/cheeses weekly! I suppose I should mention the wine, with the place being a wine bar and all. Great selection, lots of options! You're sure to find something you like!!! Such a pleasant experience all around, can't wait to go back!

That's okay they have plenty of cold beers to choose from (no draft--cans and bottles only). Our food was only 20 minutes max and very good corned beef. There are two main rooms, one with the bar and the other with pool tables. We will need to check them out on a date other than March 17.

We made a reservation and were 30 minutes late on a Saturday night. They said they would try to save our reservation. It was half empty when we arrived at 7 pm. Tried to seat us inside at a mediocre table. Glad I asked to sit outside. Beautiful, huge patio. I recommend pushing to stay away from the door inside. There is an annoying bug zapper (why?!) there that kept going off. Glad we didn't sit at the table right near the door. Dead bugs would have been in our food. We had the feta dip appetizer. Said the pitas were toasted. Not. The dip had more cucumber salad than anything. Our server was very accommodating. He raved about the Biltmore Riesling. I don't usually like sweet wine which it was not. Great recommendation. I also tried the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling for the win! I had the unicorn fish. First time. Perfectly cooked. Yum. My husband had the chicken sandwich and asked to add a fried green tomato and have baby cauliflower. Two upcharges for an additional $2. Worth it. My son had the chicken Parmesan. He liked it. Just small amount of chicken. Overall, liked it. Would love to go back!

I choose it for that reason as it was to celebrate not just the 4th but also my hubby who LOVES seafood. I do as well but I am highly allergic as in anaphylactic type allergic to ALL types. Ridley made sure the kitchen knew and the kitchen handled it 100000% I had NO ISSUES at all. I enjoyed my food beyond belief as did my husband! The atmosphere was on point the staff was above point frankly and the food yeah we will be back!!! Hubby got the fish and chips and I got the pork chop with asparagus instead of Brussels. Most amazing "date night" ever!!! Both of us are stuffed but not feeling heavy like. I honestly would give this place a 15/10 like on point 100%! To all on board... Thank you for all you hard work to make our night magically beautiful (and safe). Forever in our hearts!!!

Have you ever walked into a place and felt like it's a place you would make for yourself? That's…read morethe way I felt walking into LouElla's After a long day at work and some evening errands, Jack and I were making our way home, when I decided to check out wine stores that were still open on my route. Louella's came up as one of the few still open after 9 PM. I checked the website, and found that they have not, one, not two, but an entire page of fortified wines and Vermouth! As a cocktail nerd, this place checked boxes I didn't even realize I had! There's half a rack of bitters and other premixes. The atmosphere on this blissfully warm night in September was dimly lit, quietly elegant ambiance music (Think Brian Eno, Volcano Choir, or Bon Iver) From outside, with two large TVs above a bar, you may think it's a typical sports bar. But no one here is drinking beer, they have pizza from down at Hutchin's Garage and various wines out on the tables out front. With real glasses. Like adults. Here in the south in a semi-pandemic semi-lock-down. After picking out three different sweet vermouth to try, I bought a glass of Dolcetto and a pre-boxed cheese/meat tray. Although the cheese was from the cooler, as it set out, it was evidently fairly fresh, because it warmed up testily. Sadly, they close at 10, so I'll have to wrap this up later. Suffice it to say, if you're looking for a place to grab a special bottle to upscale your Negroni, or just can't seem to find Pechaud's bitters anywhere, now you have a place to check out. There is an entire 85% more of the store to explore for me, since I had arrived with a narrow purpose and found it immediately. But you can bet, I'll be back. It's within walking distance of FullSteam, MotorCo, Hutchin's, Cocoa Cinnamon's Old North Durham location. They've only been open for six months, when you don't count COVID time, so give 'em some love, folks! They are the type folks we need to support!
