Unicoi Wine & Spirits doesn't yet do enough volume sales to slash prices on the premium bourbons, but they do have some bargain wines; they have 10% off days (Mondays, I think). I like very much not having to drive to Johnson City and back.

This place is located right next door to the "Libation Station" (check out my review) and I stopped…read morein after a visit to the Libation Station to pick up some smokes... I was thinking the Libation Station would offer spirits but they do not, only beer!!! So if you want that booze, that hard liquor, that wine then you gotta make a stop in at the Plaza!!! I stopped in because I was wanting to see if they offered a blended scotch called "Grant's Ale Cask finish" and what price they were asking for it...(discovered this scotch back in November 2019 when I made a stop in at a Knoxville, TN liquor store as well as in Kingsport, TN. Hell even made a call to a liquor salesman once I got back to Louisiana to see if I could get some more and was told this scotch was NOT sold west of the Mississippi!!!) These folks offered it and was going to buy the 2 bottles they had on the shelf but then I noticed they were running a deal on "The Famous Grouse" at $13.99/750 ml bottle. Back home the cheapest I've ever found it was $19.99/bottle and usually it goes for $21.99/bottle. Well seeing that price I changed my mind and picked up several bottles of The Famous Grouse as I already had in excess of 4 bottles of the Grant's packed away for travel back to Louisiana. I'm telling you this place has an extensive selection of damn near any spirit or wine you might desire and the prices were more than reasonable!!! If you're in Johnson City then you should be giving these folks your business!!!

Very nicely decorated and comfortable seating options. There are tables, a lounge area with couches, and a bar. They also have pianos for live music and other events that they host. Super cute decor - especially the pigeon pics! The name is awesome!! Great vibes here. Okay, service. Spectacular! Absolutely lovely and knowledgeable of all drinks. They have an extensive bar and he knows how to make a great drink. Very friendly and kind. The cocktails- Wowzer! Always awesome to find a good place that serves ELEVATED cocktails. Great thought and time was put into the flavor profiles and presentation of these drinks. The glasses, ice, garnish - all on point. Superior! We ordered 5 different drinks. One was called Girl Dinner which was fabulous. Also had an Old Fashion, Manhattan, and a cognac/mead drink that I can't remember the name. All were tasty. Well executed. Flavor profiles were great. We did order the dip smaller and boy was that tasty too. The feta dip was amazing. The pitas were warm and nice crusty bread for dipping. The price is beyond reasonable for the portion and quality. We would have stayed all day here if we could. This place is awesome. Highly recommend. Once you go, you will be back. You will also sing like a canary (or pigeon) to let everyone know. Just fantastic.

Pricey, but a very interesting store for such a small town…read more But Hot Springs is a stop-over for both the Appalachian Trail hiker types AND folks treating themselves at the resort and spa and getting IN to some hot springs. So a spot to get geoduck in a time...or a $10 thing of hummus...or fancy frozen pizza....or a single $12 crab cake....is actually pretty on brand! I actually stopped in here several times during my week-long stay in town. Primarily because Vaste Riviere is one of two food spots open every day of the week, and the only one of those two with available outdoor seating. My first visit resulted in the purchase of some dip-type thing to bring back to my Airbnb, a six-pack of beer, and a crab cake. The crab cake was good but I forgot to get any utensils, and whoops....the cleaning crew for my Airbnb arrived AFTER I did, where I intended to eat my meal. So I sat in my car and ate my food with what I could find to use as a sort of spoon... I returned on another day because I wanted a cold beverage after an unexpectedly long hike, and I wanted to drink it outside...so this place was my only option. I also got some pimento cheese dip to bring back to the house with me. Which was...ok. Not the greatest, but y'all...the closest true grocery store appears to be, like, a half hour away. The staff was always lovely and friendly. I would have come back here even more times, if their goods were a little more in my price range or...you know, sometimes after a hike all you want is a burger, not a crab cake. But I like this place, was surprised at its existence, and would certainly recommend it to other folks.

Not only do that have interesting options, all of the prepared items were VERY good too. I felt that the quality was excellent and better than the restaurants in town. The entire concept of this store is pretty interesting. I'd imagine Vaste Riviere has low and high days like most businesses. So, by offering these pre-made items, it allows them to have a broader menu (and probably avoid wasting food). Most of the items are available in the deli case for takeaway. You can heat it up easily or have them do it. Also, in their freezer cases, they have an assortment of local food items. For instance, we got a NC-made Kimchi and it was great. They also have items (i.e. gluten free) that you probably couldn't find nearby. Overall, I'd highly recommend Vaste Riviere if you are spending some time in the area. Great option for a takeaway meal in your cabin or room. Also, with the COVID-19 situation right now, they seem to have it under control and are taking protective measures. Support them!!

Good people, good service, clean and plenty of stock. A pleasure to shop here. I'll be back. UPDATE. It seems this shop has risen to the new challenge posed by supermarket's selling wine. The building has been extensively upgraded and it has become quite the boutique-y little wine, beer and liquor shop. Still great service, huge inventory and (hooray hooray) I found my favourite Aussie wine and jappo spirits here.

I first stumbled upon this place about 3 years ago when I drove from Boone with my dog exploring…read morethe area. I stopped in, brought him with me (they're dog friendly!) , and tasted some wines. Delicious! I've since been back many times, bringing my cousin, friends, parents, and boyfriend. Everyone loves the wine here! I am not a sommelier so I can't explain my reasons for liking wine or not, but it seems that literally every wine is delicious. I usually go for the flights which include small pours and a souvenir tasting glass. Last time I was here a few months ago, I think my boyfriend and I ordered 3 flights so that we could taste and share all 12 red, white, and blend wines. Good choice, and relatively inexpensive. The food here is also good. I don't think they have a standard menu, but I've tried both the pepperoni pizza and a BBQ sandwich meal from here. When ordering food initially, it was just meant to "hold us over" until we got to the next place. But hot damn, the food is seriously DELICIOUS. Trust me and order from here! Lastly, this location is in an old schoolhouse. There's a lot of history here and the folks are willing to share that with you. Just talk to them! I'll have to admit that the winery itself is not as nice on the eyes as some others nearby in terms of being fancy or chic or whatever... instead, the vibe is homey, quaint, and welcoming. Bring a friend or two, make the drive, and enjoy!
