Such a good energy and vibe here.

Cute new wine shop in the area! Helpful staff, tasty wines, at an affordable price point. Loved the open concept layout, plenty of seating for a larger group, and their event calendar looked like it had some fun things coming up. Will def return!

I love this addition to our neighborhood. I've liked the wines I have had, and there is plenty of room to spread out. They host events like trivia, and I even went to a yoga and wine event here. Love that they use the space for community events, particularly when it means you are supporting two small businesses at once! The interior is always improving as they get more established. The paintings on the walls are a great touch. Honestly if they switched to warmer lighting it would feel so much cozier and I would be in here all the time. (It's very bright cool white at the moment).

Great wine, the trivia night was fantastic, good pricing on all food/drinks. Only thing I would say is the trivia should start at 7p instead of 6p. Wonderful new winery addition on the south side!!

So, my sister had the bright idea to organize a karaoke outing at Gramophone on Super Bowl Sunday. Since I didn't have a team in the Game, and since karaoke is my all-time favorite past time, I agreed. It was rather empty. Our group of 6 plus four others, which means FAST ROTATION . The karaoke DJ was cool. The sound system is nice! Good mics, speakers, and song arrangements. He had a huge vault of songs... everything I asked for, he had. Some of which are not as popular as others. AND the best part, he could change the pitch to accommodate my vocal range. Some of my favorite songs are a bit too high, and I had to ask for two of them to be brought down 1/2 step. Songs ranged from 50s to current. Enjoyable singers all around and everyone was fun to watch. I got a glass of their tempranillo, which was perfection. Full bodied, super dry and delicious. I also got a pizza, which is kind of a personal size. Very thin. Good, but not great. Decor is nice. Newly renovated with mostly tables all on the same level, but also a couch area next to the TV, and about three bar seats. Plenty of room to spread out. The only thing keeping Gramophone from 5 stars is the lack of food options. Hope they're able to add some simple staples like burgers and fries or salads. Convenient location right on the corner of Forest Hill and Westover Hills Blvd. I'll definitely come back for karaoke and wine!

Had a blast here at Sip and Sing (Karaoke Sunday). Arthur is the host and he clearly loves music. He will duet with you, sing backup. Definitely cares about doing a great job for the singers and making sure you have fun. I didn't catch the server's name, but he was attentive and friendly. Our table was never cluttered or without what we needed. The ambiance is nice. It's spacious and has a modern neighborhood vibe. The bathroom says a lot, and it is clean! (yeah!) There are two menus. One for food and one for drinks. Don't come here searching for a meal. The offerings are more munchies, but there is a decent selection of wine. I had the Sauvignon Blanc and it was really nice. Had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

The only thing better than the drinks are the employees serving them. The music choices are a close second, too. It’s a great wine bar, with convenient parking and a great location. Best compliment I can give the place is that I wish I came up with it.

Malbec was their best. Rose was wonderful too. Very nice space and great addition to the neighborhood.

I've had a couple great experiences here, service was excellent, and my White Wine Spritz was delicious! It's kind of nestled on the corner of the parking lot there off of Forest Hill x Westover Hills Blvd, a little easy to miss at first. I know they're still pretty new and do really hope they get the word out more about being there. It's been pretty quiet both times--it's been a great spot both times to catch up with friends though. But I wish them the best in getting that business in the door, and hope this helps, because it really is a GREAT spot!!

Oh, what a fine place for a relaxing evening! Owner and staff are super-friendly. Interior is smartly appointed and has the feel of a nicer version of a coffee house. We had their delicious sangria! Hearing that the friend with us is a talented singer/songwriter, the owner produced a guitar and we were treated to lovely music for the next half-hour. So glad for this welcome addition to the Forest Hill/Westover Hills neighborhood!

The wine selection is delightful, and the cheese plate surpasses expectations with its exceptional flavors. Furthermore, the affordability of this establishment is unmatched. The atmosphere is remarkably clean and spacious, while the customer service exceeds all expectations. Additionally, the proprietor exhibits qualities of a genuinely good-hearted individual. It is my sincere hope that more individuals become aware of this remarkable establishment as it has undoubtedly become one of my favorite go-to places.

Went here with my wife last weekend and had a great time! Friendly, quiet atmosphere with delicious wine and attentive service.

Excellent wines and great service! Very homey atmosphere, it’s nice to have a winery on Forest Hill.We had a cheese plate with amazing cheese, it paired well with our wine.There is a food tent which is usually here on Saturdays called the Fancy Pig. Their dumplings were way too spicy for me but my husband enjoyed them.They also had some $7 pours, which is hard to find these days! Hopefully more business starts piling in, this place has the potential to be really amazing!

I had a really stressful day, and needed to write a really difficult email. I needed a glass of wine and somewhere to calm my nerves. Gramophone delivered! Ambiance was perfect and the wine and cheese was delicious. Would recommend if you're looking to unwind after a stressful day.
