chateau la vin

We were staying in Columbia for 2 nights and wanted to see what the downtown was like. We stopped in an decided we are definitely coming back. The owner was so friendly and cordial. We walked in and felt like a part of the community. The wine choices were excellent. Food isn't sold there but you can order food from the nearby restaurants and eat in there. We tried the Italian food (very good). By the time we left, the place was packed (inside and outside). It is a great place to meet new friends and drink great wine. We were going to only stay for about 30 minutes to and hour.... we ending up staying over 3 hours.

Love having this little gem right in my back yard. Sometimes it is hard to find a seat but it is worth it. Very helpful on wine selections and tastings. He has some beer and offers martini's on Friday. You can bring/order in food from the local restaurants and have a great time. Can't wait for warmer weather to sit outside again. Wish the outdoor space was non smoking.

We really enjoy going here. We're not real wine connoisseurs, but I think everyone can find something they like at a reasonable price. And lately they've been making martini's on Friday nights that have been excellent. Just an all around great place to go for wine or a cocktail. Looking forward to enjoying their outdoor patio once the weather warms up. Somewhat limited seating, but we've always found a place on the busiest of nights, even if it meant standing for a bit.
