Ask the Grape Girls: Vino Libro?

QUESTION
C. Judge wrote: I heard about this great spot called “Vino Libre”, what part of Atlanta is this place located? Would love to visit on my next trip...

ANSWER
Hey, we think you mean Vino Libro!

Vino Libro is located in the heart of Atlanta’s newest mixed-used community, Glenwood Park! It's a hip, but cozy eatery serving wine and tasting plates, perfect for urbanites who are seeking a little relaxation with their wine instead of large crowds and lots of noise. Go during the day and bring a good book, newspaper or even your laptop to catch up on emails. Or, stop by at night to experience a wine tasting and lounge on the comfy sofas while listening to live jazz and enjoying the occasional book signing or special event. It's open 7 days a week from 4pm to midnight and even has an adjacent wine retail store so guests can purchase their favorite wines to savor later. Visit them online for directions and a schedule of weekly events, www.vinolibro.com.
