The folks at the Cork and Vine are extremely friendly and know their wines. They have a great selection of wines and the atmosphere is definitely a place to relax and enjoy a nice glass or two of a fine wine.
We are very fortunate to have them in the York Commons neighborhood.

Cork and Vine has the most limited “by the glass” selection of anywhere in the Miami Valley. Where else are you going to find the wine variety, atmosphere and food selection locally than The Wine Gallery & Cafe?

So sad the Wine Gallery did not win. It is the best wine bar in Dayton even if the votes don’t show it The atmosphere is so upscale yet comfortable. Everyone including the other customers are fun and helpful . The wine selection has something for everyones taste and price range The food is unique and delicious Try $2 tues and thurs if your looking for a great bargain Just try it any day you won’t be disappointed

I LOVE the Wine Gallery. They have excellent food (including many unique appetizers) and so many wines-wine menu is easy to navigate even if you’re not wine saavy. I live in Centerville, but the gallery is probably my favorite place to go in the whole Dayton area. It’s in a nice part of downtown too; I never feel unsafe. The people there are so nice (staff and patrons), I almost always end up having an interesting conversation with a stranger.Great for all ages, my parents love it too!

For a relaxing evening my wife and friends enjoy visiting A Taste of Wine in Miamisburg. The outdoor patio and entertainment makes for a wonderful night, and Bonnie and Kim are always willing to share their thoughts on some tasty wines.

Bella Vino has the best atmosphere in town! When my fiance proposed there, the other patrons and the owner Dave toasted us. I can’t think of a better place I would want to celebrate my engagement at than in a warm and friendly environment like that!

The Cork & Vine is a wonderul place to hang out with friends and enjoy a glass of Cab.
The entertainment is awesome too, now the only thing they are lacking is a good supply of their really cute t-shirts that they sell :)

Cork & Vine in Butler Township has everything you need for one stop shopping. Not only are they an excellent wine shop they are also a State Liquor Agency … After you have sampled your wine of choice you can pick up a bottle of Three Olives Bubble or Absolute Mango — both great additions to your bar for summer fun!! Entertainment on most Thursday nights (Ladies Night) as well as Saturday night. The atmosphere is great and the liquor store is one of the cleanest around!

The Gallery and Cafe is my favorite wine bar in Dayton, Ohio. Not only do my husband and I love to stop in to sample some great wine, they have 2 great boxed wines that I love. I’m drinking my way thru all of the boxed wine I can find, and they are very supportive!! www.frombottle2box.com - come visit!!

The wine gallery and cafe’ has got be the best wine hotspot in the Dayton area hands down.They have the absolute best wine selection and the staff is very professional & knowledgeable. I recently spent weeks searching for a brand I had tasted in Trieste Italy but could not find it anywhere in the states. The owner Mr. Brian Linean was able to order me a case in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Thanks Brian! I should have come to you first! Cheers!
