A little wine, a little luxury, and one of the coziest dinner experiences in Columbia. ✨🍷 @smashing_grapes hosted a beautiful 3-course wine pairing dinner and every course was paired so thoughtfully from the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to the Cabernet and ruby port dessert pairing. The shrimp & crab risotto, braised short rib, and sweet potato pound cake were SO good and the entire evening felt perfect for a date night, girls night, or celebrating life’s little moments. Definitely adding this one to my list of favorite dining experiences in Maryland. 🤍 #SmashingGrapes #ColumbiaMD #MarylandRestaurants #WineDinner #WinePairing #DateNightIdeas #MarylandFoodie #FoodieReels #LuxuryDining #GirlsNight #RestaurantReels #WineLover #DMVFoodie #ColumbiaMaryland #FineDining #FoodInfluencer #DinnerDate #ExploreMaryland #ViralReels #WineAndDine

I would like to give a special thanks to Brittney. She took excellent care of me and my coworker. We were there for lunch and had a great time. Since this was our first time, Brittney let us know of all the specials-a bottle wine and pizza for $32 (takeout), 50% off a bottle of wine under $100- happy hour on the weekend and the live music. Needless to say we will be back-- All the staff we encounter were very welcoming, we loved the restaurant's decor, food was good, and thumbs up on the drinks (smile) Thanks again Brittney
