Good wine and beer. Not good service. Got my food then the rest of my friends got there’s 30 minutes later. I waited so my food was cold. Will not be eating here again. Just drinking!

As a wine shop it’s 5 stars. As a place for a great bite and drink it’s 5 stars. As a place to meet with a group on the patio and chill it’s 5 stars. I think you get the idea. I love coming here after work and meeting friends. Convenient location with easy parking. They have a lot of wines by the glass but usually I shop for a bottle and then bring that to the table. They have a very large bottle selection from value to high end. The menu is small, fresh and always well executed from snacks to meals. The quiche of the day is a good option, check that out.

One of our favorite spots. Awesome Brussel sprouts, flatbreads(mushroom is their hidden gem), sliders and the truffle fries should be illegal! Wine selection is fantastic(along with local beer on tap). Go early to get a spot!

I love this place even though I’m the jerk who goes to a wine bar and doesn’t care for wine. Foxcroft has a small but good selection of beers on tap, with a heavy emphasis on Carolina and Charlotte craft beer. There’s a nice variety too. I’ve had everything from browns and stouts to IPAs and goses. Not a bad beer. There’s also a really small bottle and can selection of beer, but this is far from a bottle shop. Since it’s a wine shop, simply having some beer is a nice touch. I usually come here with colleagues before the kitchen opens, so I haven’t tried much of their food. I always get the nuts as a snack, and they are delicious. A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. The cheese platters are also very good, and they’ll gladly vary the cheese selection to fit your tastes. The service is always great. They employees know their stuff, are very attentive, and are always friendly. I’ll definitely keep coming back. I’m looking forward to trying their other food offerings one of these days.

I loved the vast wine selection & atmosphere of the new location. I got my fix of Chanti Classico & Bordeaux. I wanted to try their Super Tuscan but sadly they were out, so I’ll have to go back again. The flat bread with mushrooms was tasty.

I came here this past weekend with my boyfriend. We were raking our brains on a chill place with a bar we could grab a quick bite to eat somewhere we hadn’t been before in the Southpark area, and he recalled this place. We grabbed a few beers and had the zucchini truffle fries, which apparently Foxcroft is known for. It was fairly chill and the bartender we had was super friendly. I’d definitely come back.

Great wine shop and a fantastic restaurant in one! I love this place. The wine shop — Very good selection, knowledgeable staff and reasonably priced. One of my favorite red blends was about $ 7 cheaper here than at Dean and Deluca. Reds are in the back behind a wall at the back of the bar, whites and roses are on the back wall behind the tables. A little awkward to weave through diners to get to the whites, but it’s not a huge deal as the place is casual. The restaurant — Excellent food all around. The chef’s bruchetta is hit or miss, but I think that is more down to personal preference over the actual preparation. The flat breads are always a hit, you cant go long with truffle fries and the olives are a great starter — tossed in some kind of pesto-ish(?) dressing. They portion of olives and nuts is very large. The atmosphere is casual, the kind of place that you imagne everyone is a regualr, but if you arent you don’t feel out of place. The waitstaff is very knoweldgeable and not afraid to make a recomnendation on wine or food. My one complaint is the TV’s — I feel that they take away from the cozy wine bar feel. There was a game on one night that I was there recently and I felt like it detracted from the atmosphere. Maybe play music and run old movies on mute? All in all one of my favorite go to local places in the South Park area.

Great food but very limited selection. Scallops delicious, less amazing were the sliders. Salad(there’s just one) was very refreshing and quite tasty. Atmosphere is surprisingly noisy but quite a welcoming staff(& clientele!). Nice wine list without descriptors for by-the-glass. More TV’s than expected.

Great little place. Was very crowded, but I was very impressed with the wine we were recommended and the food. If you’re eating there, you can’t beat the value of the wine they offer. The wine prices are the same if you dine-in or just purchase from the store, making it VERY economical to drink with dinner in the dining area.

This review is based on the wine bar and food service which I think is a gem of a place. Good selection of wines by the glass– or you can purchase a bottle to enjoy in house. Food is creative and quite good– not your run of the mill bar bites. This is a popular place and it is easy to meet friends here and visit for hours!

Note: Five Stars is given based upon the Wine Shop, not necessarily the food service which is good but not 5 stars. Conrad(Owner) and Eric(Manager) are super people who really love wine, and they’ll help you select wines based upon your palate and what you can afford. This store is no where near the size of Total Wine, but, in term of what limited selection they carry, they have a SUPERB selection! There are some super premium wines, like many Burgundy Grand Crus! I don’t know anybody else in Charlotte that has the depth and selection of Burgundys like this shop does. OK so you got me… I’m a PINOTFILE! LOL… What can I say. It’s not all high end by any means. They have a wonderful selection of affordable but great quality wines. The rest of their staff is very knowledgeable as well, but not nearly as much as Conrad and Eric. And their wine bar is really a lot of fun as well. It’s small so don’t expect to hop in on a Fri or Sat evening and simply sit down. They have a simple bar menu but it’s all pretty tasty. Overall this is a superb store with an incredible selection give the size of the store. There’s something for everyone!

This was our last stop after an amazing dinner and then some fun jazz. I wasn’t ready to call it a night so we headed to enjoy some prosecco at the Wine Shop. So glad we did! We were just going to order a glass, but then decided the bottle was a more economical route. Something to consider if you are having wine with others. For example, a single glass of prosecco was $ 9, however a bottle cost $ 17 and for any bottle under $ 30, there is a $ 10 cork fee. So, for $ 27 we had 6 glasses between us which is way better than $ 9/ea or $ 54. We ordered the smoked nuts… OHMY… so good… and the portion was huge. We’ve seen the donuts and have heard to try the truffle fries. We will be back to try those things and more. We may just become«regulars». This is a wine shop with quite the selection of wines and bottled beers, if you need to grab and go. However, I recommend sitting down and enjoying a beverage by the glass or have them cork a bottle. They also had a decent selection of beers on tap, maybe 6 or 8 options. The menu looked fantastic but we were their solely for the drinks. I loved the look and feel of the place. It always seems to have a crowd. Cheers!

Eric and his staff are wonderful from wine selection in the restaurant right down to researching wine and ordering for you if they can find it. Even though Eric could not find the Penfold’s I was looking for, he called me and suggested others that may compare. The atmosphere and food are to die for… order the truffle fries!

Incredible food with creative presentations & awesome wine of course. I have eaten here many times & enjoyed the gnocchi when they have it, the sliders, the olive tart with cheeses(I only eat goat cheese & they sometimes have one I can order.) And as the name suggests they are impeccable with a wine selection by the glass or bottle. My friend & I always choose a bottle over $ 30 to avoid the corkage fees. Inventive food & consistently good service.

The Wine Shop. A shop of wine? Who would have thought such a thing is even possible? Well, of course there are shops of wine — but in this case, it is so much more. If there is room — and that is a big if — you can grab a table and pull out a menu to order some snacks to go along with your wine. What you will have here to keep in mind is that the place is quite often packed. Not packed like a short line at the grocery store. Packed like sardines in a can. It can be difficult to get in, much less find a table, and that can severely affect the enjoyment, as enjoying a glass of wine and a plate of marginally expensive charcuterie standing in the middle of a crowded space is much less enjoyable than doing it sitting at a table. You can also find beer, but wine is certainly the focus.

Stopped in this past Saturday. Had a bottle of sparkling rose(a favorite) and a couple of glasses of wine. Things are different now-menu is smaller, seafood entrees are priced higher and the grilled pound cake dessert can’t compare to the donuts. Sliders were still good, speckled trout entrée was pricey at $ 26 for a not too big portion. The shop was still very crowded and the servers are as friendly and efficient as ever, when they are not running around. We liked the«old» Foxcroft better. P. S.- website menu is out of date.

I’ll admit it — I’m dumb. I’d heard about The Wine Shop, but I always thought it was just a store where you bought wine. No judging! We were having dinner at Barrington’s around the corner, and for some reason, I decided to look at The Wine Shop’s website to see if it was a place we could have a drink before dinner. Could we ever! Not only did they have some great wines, but they also had some fairly unique beers AND food. Clearly, I’ve been living under a rock. I was amazed at how large the place was when we got there, and I immediately loved the atmosphere. With all the wood and somewhat dim lighting, it felt like a classy, yet rustic, cabin/lodge.(That’s supposed to be a compliment. Adjectives aren’t my forte.) The bar was large enough to seat 15ish people, and there were a ton of tables, not to mention walls and walls of wine bottles for purchase. We didn’t get any food, but it looked very inventive. I was so intrigued by the Brussels sprouts and apples that now I’m kicking myself for not trying it. Some wine shops I’ve been to have felt clique-y or loud. If there were regulars there, the servers acknowledged them, but we felt just as welcome as newbies. I appreciated the classy, quiet yet vibrant feel, and I really appreciated the free wi-fi. We’ll definitely be back and probably for drinks AND dinner!

Very good selection and decent prices. The plates of cheeses and meats they have are delicious and very filling. A nice compliment to the wines. I don’t have a lot to say here as I’m not a huge fan of wine but the atmosphere is very comfortable and the service was top notch. I’d probably go there again if it was a outing with some friends but I doubt I’d venture there myself.

I thought for my 200th review I should do this about a UYE for moi at The Wine Shop. It was fabulous with Poprock serving me wine and food throughout the evening! The place is really busy so grab tables while you can and enjoy the people watching over a glass or bottle of wine and some small nibbles in their cozy space. I loved the cheese and charcuterie plates, yum! I also had a bit of Mr. W’s flatbread and it tasted deliciously crunchy and cheesy but surprisingly also fairly light. The beer selection is not super great but there’s tons and tons of wine and rightly so or they’d be failing at naming wouldn’t they? Thanks to all the people who came out to throw me a going away bash, I’m going to come back and bother Tonya P. again next time I’m in Charlotte for sure!

Wow, someone is doing something right here, that is for sure! This is a bustling place and I was amazed at how crowded it got. Great after work spot for those on this side of the town but also appears to be a popular place to just come in and grab light bites and great wine. Beer, don’t forget the beer. There are a few taps that probably rotate I assume but they also have a solid bottle reserve available. The food was really good and the cheese plate was LARGE to say the least.

This is a nicer choice for a wine bar with food than Dean & Deluca wine bar. There is a much better selection for light food choices but even includes some fresh pasta dishes! Great selections of wines by the glass or the bottle. A nice patio on the side of the building.

The Wine Shop is definitely worth a try. In addition to wonderful wines by the glass as well as a good selection of beer, their food is really very good. Our table had hanger steak, ravioli, greens, spinach and the truffle fries. Everything was well prepared and good. My group was pleased. The wait staff of two was doing the best they could with a full house on a Saturday night. My one complaint is the kitchen’s reluctance to make any alterations to their dishes(they would not substitute spinach for greens??) This is in a great location — go shopping at Southpark and then drive down Fairview a couple of miles and have a nice dinner. I plan to return for a glass of wine and appetizer at the bar or for a full meal sometime soon.

So, even though I’ve heard from Ms. Tonya P how awesome this place is, I had to check it out for myself. For research purposes, of course,…and to indulge in some vino! I don’t get to come to this part of South Charlotte very often, but when I do, I’m always enjoying the kitschy shops and restaurants. It is indeed the perfect location for the Wine Shop. Not only does the shop carry a bazillion bottles of really intriguing wines and sparkling vinos(organized by country/region), but it also has a lovely setup with a small menu. You can comfortably park it in the middle of this wine wonderland and enjoy wines by the glass and by the bottle, meat and cheese plates, varying crostinis, etc. It’s small bites, guys, so don’t expect to gorge. I fully savored an amazing glass of Black Slate, a medium bodied red with a super smooth finish. That’s probably one of the coolest parts of the Wine Shop — the staff is super knowledgeable about the products they carry and how to consume them to their fullest. I know hubs and I will be back to spend a bit more time here — perusing, drinking and enjoying!

Wow… now I along with my GF visited the Wine Shop for the first time last night and I cannot believe anyone hasn’t reviewed this place yet!!! Now a disclaimer… Tonya works here, so she COULD have Unilocaled this first, but wanted one of us to come in and do it… so I did and was very surprised. In addition to just having a fantastic wine selection, they also serve food which we also had a few items off the menu which ranges from creative cheese plates to full meals, all of which are reasonably priced. With plenty of seating and a nice little bar, one can savor many different wines. For this visit we went both red and white, but in the end chose a nice light white wine for drinking at home at a later date. The wine selection is wild! 2 big rooms of a huge selection, so if you are looking for good wine and want a great selection, then check out the Wine Shop. Tonya was a perfect host and we really had a great time. She works Mondays and Tuesdays, so if you get a hankering for some vino, stop by and tell her Michael E sent ya *wink*.
