HistoryOur first buying trip was to Buenos Aires and all done by the seat of our pants. From then on we learned as we went and have continued to grow and bring style from other parts of the world to Austin. As of late we have found the merit of our local designers and have chosen to promote them more readily. Our chairs, tables and pillows are predominantly locally made, as well as the leather goods and some decorative items. Somewhere along the way, we brought in some wine to share with customers as they browsed our wares, and we quickly realized we'd found something spectacular. We decided to share our love of wine with our dedicated patrons regularly.SpecialtiesCome in, hang out and share a bottle and some small plates with friends. Don't know what you like? We're happy to help you choose a bottle that fits your tastes. We pride ourselves on making wine accessible to both the wine-curious and seasoned wine drinkers.
