Wine needs a good aging to be its best. The same can be said of The Wine Loft, a pioneering destination that was once an oasis in a sea of vacant buildings but is now surrounded by other bars and restaurants that bring vibrancy as well as competition.

Owner Mike Dunnavant now has 14 years under his belt and he knows there is a fine line between aging well and growing stale. He talked to Á la Carte Alabama for Alabama NewsCenter about how the business continues to evolve with its food and drink offerings.
