As excited as I am about our move, I’m feeling some bittersweet emotions as well since we’ll be leaving so many friends and a pretty great city behind. This weekend definitely made me appreciate Charlotte so this post is dedicated to some fave places and some new things I just discovered… so if you’re here and haven’t already, check out:
The Wine Shop on Park Road Fridays from 4-7
In need of a low key weekend, this seemed like the perfect way to end the work week without getting too crazy. From 4-7 they offer free wine and cheese tastings. Some girlfriends and I went up Friday to check it out.
In addition to your tasting, or anytime you are there, they have Self Serve Tasting machines which are so incredibly cool. I discovered these with my mom earlier this week and here’s how it works. You put money on a card ($10 minimum) and there are 15 wines in the self serve machine. Using your card, you can pay to taste (96 cents - $2.00 depending on the bottle), have a half glass (which is more MY idea of a taste! ) or enjoy a full glass of whatever wines are featured in the tasting machines! They have high top tables scattered as well so you are able to gather and enjoy your wine for awhile if you’d like. This is genius!
Brunch at Pewter Rose:
I went here for the first time a few months ago and again Saturday to celebrate a friend’s baby boy coming in August! Everything on the menu that I’ve sampled is incredible and paired with the double mimosas (you can get normal too if you want… but who doesn’t want the extra champagne?) it’s hard to go wrong. They bring each table butterscotch scones which are as incredible as they sound. And I can’t resist ordering the Italian omelette every time (Italian sausage, basil pesto, fontina, spinach, and roasted red peppers)- it is to die for, and for a super carb loaded breakfast, they even feature a mash potato omelette!
Divine Cupcakes and Yogurt Café:
I brought cupcakes from here to the brunch and you must, must go there. Made fresh daily with no added preservatives, these cupcakes are delish. Offered in their daily selection are vegan and gluten free options so everyone can enjoy! They also serve up cake balls (mix of cake and frosting dipped in chocolate) and home-made frozen yogurt with real fruit… you literally can’t go wrong! And for all of you that pamper your puppy, they even have “doggie delights” and “pupcakes” Honestly, it cannot get any cuter ;)
Tip: I noticed on their website when looking them up that Monday is Buy one cupcake, get one free… what a perfect cure for case of the Monday’s next week!
