Grinder's Switch Winery on Garden — Attraction in Columbia

Grinder's Switch Winery started in Centerville, TN, and decided to finally grace us with their presence in Columbia. I'm sure glad that they did. This evening, my wife and I went on a date and decided to stop by. We elected to experience the full flight tasting that included dry, semi-sweet, and sweet wines. Basically, it was almost the full menu of wines that they had to offer. We were not disappointed. Oyster crackers were offered to cleanse our pallets between tastings. When we reached the end of the flight, we decided on our collective favorite to enjoy together. We also ordered a board of loaded hummus and peta chips to ward off hunger pains (see attached photo). They have a small menu of food to enjoy while you enjoy your wine. You can get full here. Dinner can be had.

The bonus wine (not on the menu) was what we chose to purchase a full bottle of. It was the General I, which is a sweet mucadine wine. This wine reminded me of our honeymoon. We experienced a similar wine from Sugarland Cellars, which is located in Gatlinburg, TN. My wife and I have been married for almost 11 years. This wine brought us back to square 1, and we fell in love all over again (with the wine and with each other).

Another bonus for the evening was that we enjoyed live music while we enjoyed our wine. If you're up for a good wine tasting adventure, you should stop by Grinder's Switch and...

My wife (65) and I (66) walked in to this establishment for the first time. NOBODY else in the store. We told the lady it was our first time. We sat at the counter and asked a few questions about the place and wine. I told her we’d like to do a tasting. She asked for ID’s. I had mine as I was driving. My wife said she didn’t bring hers. The lady said something like “do you live far away. Can you go get it?” I asked her if she was serious that she would not serve her w/o her ID. She said that was correct. Now the cops and liquor board will love her for this but what a stupid business move. Two people 3 x 21 and first time customers. Not only did she not make any sale with us today she will never make a sale with us. If you want good wine, go to a liquor...

Need a night out and some wine? Grinder’s Switch Winery tasting room, located close to historic downtown Columbia TN, is the perfect spot! The Vidal Blanc did not disappoint and Abner and Lauren were the best! Gorgeous decor with a nice wine selection, they even have a few food choices like boards and sandwiches. You can pick up gifts for the wine lovers in your life as well in their retail area. Enjoy the well decorated inside or even sit on the patio outside. The patio is a sidewalk in a strip center but what more do you need when there’s wine? Enjoy! Their original winery is located in...
