Welcome to Charleston’s Newest Cozy Wine Bar: Roseline!
Charleston has an exciting new spot for wine enthusiasts looking to unwind and savor a glass (or maybe even a bottle) of something special! Say hello to Roseline, the catchy name that’s quickly becoming the talk of the town. This charming wine bar, tucked away at 125 1/2 Line St., opened its doors recently and is already making waves in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood.
Meet the Owners: Meggie and Quinn Burns
Behind the rustic maroon door lies a lovely space where two passionate individuals, Meggie and Quinn Burns, are on a mission to create a welcoming environment for wine lovers. As the couple shares, their journey into the world of wine began with simple evenings at home, lounging on the couch with a delightful glass after a long workday. It left them pondering, “Why not bring this cozy vibe to others?” And thus, the dream of Roseline was born!
A Unique Wine Experience
When you step inside, the atmosphere is nothing short of magical. Soft lighting creates an intimate mood, complete with a soundtrack of smooth tunes that can range from funky beats to classic old-school rap. Dive into the menu, and you’ll discover an impressive selection of wine, beer, and even sake, all sourced from local businesses. Meggie and Quinn made it a point to keep their offerings sulfate-free, ensuring that patrons can enjoy their drinks without the lingering sluggishness the next day.
Behind the Bar: What’s on the Menu?
The menu at Roseline features curated selections from five different wine distributors and two beer distributors, capturing a delightful mix of “old world and new world” flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for something light and fresh or bold and adventurous, you won’t be disappointed. Meggie is partial to Le Preyna, a red with a fruity, funky taste that hints at some spice, while Quinn can’t pick just one favorite! He enjoys the allure of a Châteauneuf du Pape from France or the crunchy notes of a Saeculare Etna Rosso from volcanic regions in Sicily. Talk about options!
Stay for a Sip and Some Good Conversation
What sets Roseline apart is not only the quality of their drinks but the genuine care Meggie and Quinn put into their craft. They’re all about helping customers find their personal favorites, guiding them through the menu by gathering preferences and offering taste-test samples. This thoughtful approach reflects the spirit of the Cannonborough-Elliotborough community, a place known for its friendliness and support.
Looking to the Future
With a strong sense of community in mind, Meggie and Quinn also aim to host various events that bring locals together, echoing the warm sense of belonging that Roseline embodies.
