text: I have heard for many months that Wooden Vine has pretty fantastic food an interesting interior and great wine I finally got the chance to stop in for a glass and a snackaroo and here is how it came outnnThe Good They offer a pretty nice selection of wine and small bites plus affordable sandwiches and such for lunch or a light dinner I also saw the chalkboard that showcased a pretty sweet boxed lunch special They also boast great daily specials that range from glasses to mimosas The interior is quite cool and definitely interesting nnThe Meh When hubs and I rolled in on a Thursday evening the service was definitely lacking and fairly aloof No one told us about the specials which I would have ordered welcomed us or told us anything about the place It was a simple What can I get you They also had the TV and sound on the music on and the lights were super bright at pm At least they muted the TV when we kindly asked if they would Sensory overload While they no longer carry the wine I ordered off the menu the server offered another from the same area Sure why not The problem is it did not taste nearly like my original choice Make sure the staff knows what they are sellingnnThe Bad The cheese plate Oh my the cheese plate I love cheese Let us just make that clear and the cheese at Wooden Vine is good Good cheese The problem Two small chunks of three cheeses and a pile of ciabatta for hubs and I and minutes later the cheese was gone and I am still starvin I consciously tried to bite each mini piece of cheese in half so I could extend the life of our cheese but that just did not suffice I have had my share of cheese plates in Charlotte and this one really pales in comparison I took a photo of the cheese plate for referencennI may come back to Wooden Vine but I will definitely check out the scene before I walk in and order something besides the cheese plateespecially if I am hungry
