First Impression
Assorted Table operates in that sweet spot between retail shop and wine bar—part bottle haunt, part neighborhood hang. The name undersells what's happening here: this is Charlotte's natural wine destination, the kind of place where you discover producers you've never heard of and leave with three bottles you didn't plan on buying.
Selection Deep Dive
The list skews European with a heavy lean into low-intervention and natural wines from France, Italy, and some adventurous picks from Central Europe. You'll find skin-contact whites from Friuli, Loire Valley Chenin that drinks above its price point, and a rotating cast of Beaujolais that changes faster than you can keep up. The retail side means fresh arrivals weekly, and what's on pour reflects whatever landed that week. Gaps exist in New World representation, but that's clearly not the game plan here.
By the Glass
Glass pours rotate with shop inventory, typically 8-12 options spanning whites, oranges, reds, and usually something sparkling. Pours are generous and priced to encourage exploration rather than punish curiosity. The staff actually tastes what they're pouring, so they can steer you toward something funky or keep it conventional depending on your mood.
Domaine de Bellevue Touraine Sauvignon Blanc — $38
Classic Loire expression with mineral tension and citrus drive that drinks like bottles twice the price—grab it by the glass for $11
Weingut BrĂĽndlmayer GrĂĽner Veltliner Kamptal
Austrian white that most people skip for French options, but this has white pepper snap and stone fruit that works with everything on the small plates menu
Generic Prosecco DOC
When the rest of the list shows this much care, the house bubbles feel like an afterthought—spring for the Crémant instead
Château de la Bonnelière Chinon + Charcuterie Board
Loire Cabernet Franc with that signature pencil lead and red fruit cuts through cured meats without overpowering the funk of aged cheese
🎲 The Bottom Line
Assorted Table is doing the work Charlotte needs more of—bringing in wines that challenge the ABC store norm without getting precious about it. Limited intel means we're going on vibes and pattern recognition, but every sign points to a spot worth visiting.
