Vincitore Wine Cellar

Love having this little local gem near me!
My BFF and I have been here a handful of times and have had an awesome time. It is cute and quaint. Very cozy.
As someone mentioned earlier, they only carry a small amount of wines and food assortments. That being said, what they do have is delicious! If I could make one improvement, it would be to have a few more selections, but I still think they are fabulous!
Now I want some wine and cheese! :)

I joke about the fact that MOST places like bars and stuff are located in a strip mall out in the suburbs… this place is no different. I was a city dweller up until five years ago.
I met a group here last night… I walked in and it was a cute, tiny place, I’m talking Tiny… we put a few tables together for our party which left minimal seating left in the place, but being a Thursday night in Oswego, the line wasn’t out the door or anything. And with a table next to a window comes uncomfortable cold… but, moving on…
For starters, they were out of the two first wines I wanted… one was red, one was white. Really??? At a Wine Cellar??? I took our server’s suggestion and was happy with what I got. Moving on to food… I liked the pick 3 option, but the pick 5 seemed better as I didn’t have dinner. I should have just split one with someone else at the table if it was recommended since we both ordered the pick 5, so instead we both ended up with huge meat and cheese platters — I didn’t have dinner before arriving so it was still good nonetheless. But again, we did encounter problems… They were out of some of the items my friend originally picked, and a while later one of the meats I chose they were out of as well. I can’t remember the last time I went to a place and so many menu items were OUT. Wow!!!
In addition to being mildly annoyed by a few things I wanted needing replacing, but my friend’s platter came up at least 20 minutes before mine and we ordered them at the same time. I should probably mention nothing was being cooked here… we’re talking crackers, cheese, meats, nuts, olives, etc. I thought maybe they needed to get the cheese from that goat out back for my goat cheese or something. I don’t know if they were short handed or what… Huge disappointment.
I live a half hour away so I doubt I’ll be returning here anytime soon. The two starts this place are for the fact our server gave us all separate checks (the mishap was truly not her fault either, she did the best she could) — woo hoo!!! That is always something nice for group outings! And because I did enjoy what I had to eat and drink despite the circumstances.

It’s about time the ‘burbs having a place like this! The atmosphere is great, their staff is courteous. The more wine you order, the more you get! The charcuterie plates are generous portions and great prices! The owner is nice, let us sample new wines on the house! Will definitely be going back.

This place was great. We came in for a private wine tasting with food and the staff was great. Thank you Gina for your attention, it was most appreciated.
