I was looking for some specific rum brands too- Bacoo & Old St. Pete. The manager came over and talked to us about rewards and how they never expire. I am sure we will be shopping here in the future!

We went on a Wednesday, where they offer a free corkage fee on any bottle of wine purchased in the store. Food wise, their menu leans towards tapas-style. They also have a few mains, which was a nice surprise as the last time I came in, they were exclusively tapas. The table ordered the deviled eggs, pretzel bread, lamb meatballs, sliders, shrimp quesadilla, and the French dip. All were solid picks - the call outs were the French dip and the lamb meatballs. Everyone also all enjoyed their wine or cocktails. Our only complaint was that they were out of 4 or 5 menu options, a couple of which we were originally interested in. Will be back next time I'm in town!

A couple of friends bought tickets for the special event, and off we went. It was a ladies' event, and as we walked into the speakeasy, I was really impressed with how they had set it up. If you're a whiskey person like us, you would have loved the bar with all the whiskies in the background. The decor and the vibe were great. Everyone was so nice, and they had our tasting setups ready for us. There were four glasses with the names of our whiskey samples and tastings set before us. I figured when we came. It would be like whiskeys, I didn't know or off brands, but these were not. These are some of my favorites. They served us water throughout the event and even had lots of really good food. This place was fun, the people were fun, and my friends are always fun. Can't wait to go back!

Easy to find- the corner of the shopping plaza & plenty of parking. The bar was filled with women! The line up was Buffalo Trace, Travellers, 1792 & Blantons and there was a spread of nibbles for us to enjoy. Very knowledgeable staff and I loved that some of the bartenders were on our side of the bar, tasting and learning more about bourbon. The beautiful bar is packed with plenty to sip- I indulged in a chocolate covered cherry old fashioned after the tasting! And convenient, the liquor store is right there!

I'm actually not a big fan of whiskey or strong drinks, but I still really enjoyed sitting at the counter, listening to music, and watching the bartenders at work--it was very calming. The parking situation was a bit of a challenge, but I suppose that also helps keep the place from getting too crowded, which makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere.

V+C's noticeable attention to detail (marble table tops, miniature variegated Scheffleras and etc.) made it extra special and stress free for me right off the bat, and my first note to myself was, "This is going to be a wonderful experience that I got for a song." I have a deep appreciation and admiration for all things done well and purposefully and this was it. The event was like a three-hour next-level Food and Wine Festival specific to a stream of glorified apéros. It was V+C's inaugural event and here's how it went down. There were five stops at premium restaurants on the V+C: Taste of the Town Center Walking Tour. The participants consisted of two co-producers of the event, 12 tour mates (more like team mates), one photographer, one videographer, five toasts, and we shared five delicious appetizers paired with five mystery bottles of wine. The blind wine tasting concept they used was multi-dimensional and offered an unbiased sampling session. We discovered our taste preferences and the characteristics of the wine individually. Everyone was fully engaged trying to figure out the elements of what we were tasting and what we liked and didn't like about the wine's structure. V+C shared interesting fun facts about each mystery bottle of wine after it was revealed which I enjoyed very much. There were no stingy pours. As a matter of fact, V+C was very generous during the entire event with the pours, the pairings, and an adorable cookie favor for everyone and plenty of good vibes. They provided pens to jot down notes on their brand's stationery notecard which also acted as a fan. By the end of the second stop I was gliding gracefully through the walking tour without a care in the world. It was so much fun hanging out with a new circle of groovy people exploring and just being in the moment. The time for this walking tour flew by. I'm looking forward to doing this again in the very near future.
