    Plenty of parking behind the building. The accessible entrance is in the front.

    This is such a great place for an evening out. It's a smallish space so reservations are recommended. I was greeted warmly as I entered the establishment. I was fortunate enough to go on a night that they had an Italian winery rep visiting and offering free tastings. I learned so much about wine in one night! Matt was a wonderful host. I was pleasantly surprised how affordable the wine selections were, and the level of expertise by the staff. My favorite part of the evening was trying some amazing cheese that I probably would not have been exposed to otherwise. Sign up for their emails to keep up-to-date on upcoming events.

    My husband and I had a date night and we wanted something light for dinner. I've heard of this place before but never been so we decided to try it out. It's a small quaint shop. They have a few tables and bar. The ladies that helped us were very knowledgeable and friendly. I'm not much of a wine drinker but "When in Rome". My husband ordered a beer I ordered a Riesling and needless to say I brought home a bottle of it. We shared the Cork and Rind charcuterie board and added another cheese. Great little date night.

    Don't miss this hidden gem of a wine tasting and gathering place in St Charles! The Service is amazing and they even have a lovely room to rent for medium sized gatherings. It would surprise you that they a mini deli inside and an array of wine to choose from. A must see in St Charles, Missouri or call them and order some Missouri wine!

    Two kinds of meat, two kinds of cheese bites, two kinds of olives, with dried figs and apricots!

    We ordered a build your own charcuterie board for our small New Years Eve family gathering. See pics! The board was ready for pickup on time! This convenience was just what St. Charles needed!

    10/10 would get drunk again. Srsly tho, this place is the bomb dot com blackslash yo mom. My home away from home. Booze lovers' paradise!! Quaint yet tidy little nook on first capitol that sells mostly wine, but also has a selection of hard liquor/spirits, and some craft beers. Periodically has specialty tastings e.g. recently had Gin Girl Natasha over to do a (free!) gin tasting. Every Saturday, there's fresh bread for sale and let me tell you, this bread is killer. They only have it Saturdays though, so get you some!! The rosemary/herb bread is my flavorite. Really love the overall vibe of this place and best of all - the staff are SUPER friendly, knowledgeable, and sweet. Had only been my 2nd or 3rd time in, and they remembered my name. St. Charles really needs more places like this. I am tired of all the damn nic nac shops on Main Street, need moar booze shops, yo! But I like that this is off main because less crazy drivers and my car doesn't ride like a shopping cart on 1st capitol, lol. They DO have a small parking lot, btw. And don't accidentally park in the lot beside it (not referring to Crooked Tree) I mean the private lot, because I went over there once by accident, and some legit cray dude came running out screaming at me. (awkward.) I think he would benefit from walking over to C&R and gettin' him some booze to take the edge off. ^__~ I plan to sign up for one of their tasting classes eventually. This uncouth alchie would like to learn more about the booze I so dearly enjoy. That said, no one who works here is snobby by any means!! You will feel welcome when you come in, no matter who you are. Don't know the diff between pinot noir or pinot grigio? NO WORRIES. They don't GAF if you aren't up on your wine nomenclature, and they will be glad to answer any questions/explain the winemaking process/etc. I like store staff that isn't pushy, snobby, or rude, so that is why I like C&R. They sell a lotta high end wines but there's also the "bargain rack" aka the place I make a beeline for. ;) Good to know you can swing by here and pick up some uber high-end shit, or grab a quick-n-affordable-yet-awesome bottle for $10 or less... !! Oh did I mention they have delectable cheeses and meats behind their deli counter? Hell yes,this place even has a deli counter. So I basically don't have to go to Schnucks anymore....! Now, if only they sold yarn & chocolate. Mmmm. dangerous, bahaha!!! Srsly, go in there and tell them the alcoholic who lives down the street sentcha!! Us winos gotta look out for one another. They also sell decanters, bottle openers, &c. Alcohol & alcohol accessories. LOL. PS: Closed on Mondays, so stock up Sunday so you won't be experiencing withdrawal symptoms on Monday!! :-P Only wish they had a little patio area or something where ppl can sit and drink and eat cheese and knit. Err. Yeah. But that's probably a separate license or some crap. IDK. I am not a business owner, it sounds like a lot of work, so massive kudos to these wonderfully kind and intelligent folks!!

    Had two tasting boards today top flight! The green Goddess hummus---I can't wait to go back for more! Also took a friend who is lactose and Lauren free she could eat all but one cheese she was thrilled!

This visit was very lackluster. Now on a positive note I was excited to see there is a second dining area open which makes it more spacious to move around. The patio is a nice size seating area as well. Ki was our server. She was very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The ad on facebook stated this event was gonna start at 4p and run to 9pm. It was to have dj, giveaways, drink specials and photo apps. I didn't receive any of this. What we were told was the original $5 off on flights and $18 for flatbread and half a salad. My friend and I stayed to the 5p hr and still no menu changes or drink specials per the ad. The flight i ordered was refreshing, fruity and great sizing. The flatbread pepperoni and sausage pizza were just ok. I'm not sure when the party actually started but to not be prepared and prompt is a bad look in my opinion.

Even the bathroom deserves a mention (because I'm weird), but it's unexpectedly cute and was clearly designed with care. Our server was genuinely warm from the moment we sat down. The timing of our meals was a bit puzzling. With only three other tables, it took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive. Normally, that would've been frustrating, especially since we were super hungry, but catching up with a friend I've known for nearly 40 years made the wait feel shorter. Still, our orders weren't complicated; salads and sandwiches, and the table that arrived long after us got their order first, making our wait stand out. Though my friend and I don't drink wine, and the beer selection was pretty limited, just four options, with one out of stock, choices were a bit tight there. Overall, it's a lovely, inviting spot with great service and a lot of personality. If the kitchen timing improves and the drink options broaden just a bit, it may fare better in my book.

The food was fantastic, the bruschetta and goat cheese salad were so yummy. The dressing on the salad was incredible and everything tasted so fresh. They even made non-alcoholic, decaf espresso martinis for us which were sooo good. The staff was also incredibly kind and accommodating. The upstairs space is super cute and perfect for hosting a party. I also loved the thoughtful touches like blankets available for the patio if you're sitting outside. Being right in downtown St. Charles is so fun too -- you can people-watch while enjoying your food and drinks. Highly recommend!

Adding the dip on top made it more of little pizza bites instead. Table favorite! Rigatoni alla vodka is my favorite pasta and I've had it at multiple establishments including my own kitchen and this one wasn't anything special. I actually couldn't taste the alla vodka part at all. It really just tasted like cheesy pasta with salmon. No real flavor. I guess that's why it's not listed as a crowd favorite. Ambiance is low lit and in the main dinning area, it can get really loud so if anyone is hard of hearing, it's best to get a reservation outside as it was difficult for one in our party. It didn't help that our waitress would step two steps back away from our table and let other waiters and waitresses pass in front of her instead of behind. Street parking is horrendous but my in-laws were able to find a spot right out front. We opted for the parking lots in the back as we don't mind walking a bit. It did rain a bit but we had an umbrella.
