The drinks to the food was absolutely fantastic. Caviar oysters and tuna tartar was incredible. We had the bourbon filets and they were delicious. Can’t wait to come back.

Arancini was spicy and very nice. Enjoyed 2 creative twists on Osso Bucco (using lamb shank and cous cous) and Paella (w oysters). Kind of a Moroccan influence to traditional Iberian dishes.

Fort Mill, South Carolina

About the restaurant

WE ARE OFTEN ASKED, "WHY A WINE BAR?"
This is why:
"Even though I know how to use a smart phone, I'd still rather go dancing than watch television, and I find nothing more satisfying than singing with my friends next to a fire. We are here so briefly that missing a single opportunity to connect with people seems a crime. That's why we drink wine- it softens the hardness of the day, and loosens our tongues so that we may confide in a friend, share the day's event with a spouse, or sparkle with a lover over a romantic dinner. This is why we are alive-to be together." - Celia Ramsay

We want to bring people together in a place where ALL are welcome. We have asked God to use us as a vessel to build strong community, fellowship, and lasting relationships. All that walk through TSCWB doors are friends. Ms. Ramsay's quote on wine will be framed and affixed to the wall at TSCWB to serve as a reminder to never miss a moment to connect with someone and enjoy one another's company.

This was a first experience at TSCWB. We were very pleased. My wife had the mimosa flight and a chicken quessadiila. I had the red flight and a very good flatbread. Atmosphere was casual. Staff were attentive and delightful to interact with. Good knowledge of wines, Enjoyed our brief discussion of Italian wines as well. Will definitely return.
