Chateau La Vin specializes in an eclectic mix of boutique wines from around the world. Each offering has been carefully chosen to be the best representative of its kind in the store. The selections range from inexpensive to premium, and wine tastings will give you the opportunity to refine or broaden your wine palate.

If you\u2019re hungry, cheese and crackers will be available to accompany your wine. If you\u2019re looking for a heartier meal, Columbia has great restaurants on Main Street. Have your order made \u201cto go\u201d and bring it in to enjoy with your wine. If you have dinner plans elsewhere, stop by beforehand and enjoy a glass of wine, specialty beer or cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions about what wine to bring to a party, special occasion, or need a great gift? Stop by and I\u2019ll personally work with you to find that special wine to fit any occasion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f2ede3&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; up=&#8221;93&#8243; down=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3330&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; up=&#8221;100&#8243; down=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\">ABOUT CHATEAU LA VIN<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; up=&#8221;23&#8243; down=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_text]Whether you\u2019re a seasoned wine drinker with a specific palate or a new wine drinker unsure of what to try or what you might like, Chateau La Vin is the place for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Bob Freyman, owner of Chateau La Vin.
