our story
—

Vintage Vine 100 is a true Wine Bar! We are not a restaurant that serves wine or a bar that sells a few wines by the glass. Our Wine list includes wines from regions all over the world, including many boutique and small batch wineries as well as known brands. We specialize in 15 different wine flights and wines by the glass and bottle.

Our primary focus is on wine but we offer high-end craft Beers and Superior Bourbon for those seeking something different. We also have small plates to nibble on in an inviting ambience that is modern but with an eclectic vintage vibe. Hip - but low key and comfortable.

Because we want you to have the best service possible, we have a Certified Sommelier and a Cicerone on staff. We want you to have an amazing experience with us with as much input and assistance from us or as little as YOU want. We are here to help in a friendly and engaging way that fits your needs.

our WHY
—

“Wine has a soul. It tells a story. It is history, geography, politics, economics…essentially humanity in a glass. It is transcendent–history meets present day. I could never figure out why I had this passion for wine until I connected the dots.

I grew up rurally and agriculturally where we had our own gardens and livestock and participated in harvesting and making meals fresh from our own backyard. I still remember picking vegetables and fruits with my siblings and helping our parents in the endeavor of living off the land. I even remember my first taste of Muscadine Wine that my dad made. It was so sweet!

I went on to major in science and biology with a degree in nursing and I am still amazed at how things can almost magically become other things, such as grapes transforming into wine. I have always had a love for the arts and went on to get a Fine Arts degree because I enjoy creating things and seeing new ideas come to life. Viticulture (the cultivation of grapes for winemaking) is about farming and science and art. It embodies all of these things that have helped shape me. Wine brings me joy and connects me to my past. Every bottle truly has a history. It’s my passion to share the wine culture with as many people as I can because I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed and for myself, few things are more enjoyable than a glass of really good wine.”
