As a celebration for my birthday and a recent promotion, my wife and I ate here on Friday evening. One of the first reservations of the evening, we were able to be seated in the parlor next to a magnificent Christmas tree. \n\nWe chose the premier menu (Groupon helped) along with the wine pairing option. Pricey to be sure, but the latter took the evening from wonderful to memorable. It is clear from his excellent choices that our wine steward had taken the time to taste the foods we selected and expertly pair our wines. Each one was spot on and enhanced the courses with which they were paired. \n\nFor that special occasion with that special person, McNinch House is one of Charlotte's finest.
