It's become one of the hole-in-the-wall stores where you won't get anything close to retails unless you're one of their favorites. And if you aren't a regular and ask for allocated bottle then get ready to spend over 300$ just to be able to buy it at retail or close to. Spent a lot of money there but they must have changed management because now it's just another who knows who type of place.

The proprietor kindly explained the wines that he wanted us to taste, while he shared a bit with each of us.

The venue has a modern, welcoming atmosphere with contemporary artwork, unique furnishings, and thoughtful décor that gives the space a distinctive character without feeling pretentious. We enjoyed two wine flights and found several favorites. The Peach Wine and Blackberry Wine were both excellent, and we especially enjoyed the Tempranillo Wine. The charcuterie board paired well with the tasting and made for a relaxing afternoon. The pricing was very reasonable. For two flights, a charcuterie board, and two bottles of wine, our total came to about $117, which felt fair and comparable to similar wineries in North Texas. If you live in or around Van Alstyne, this is a great local spot to unwind, enjoy some quality wine, and appreciate a little piece of wine country in your own backyard. We'll definitely be back.
