You feel like you’re at your best friend’s house when you have a seat at the bar at West Central Wine. They have 20 wines by the glass and over 200 available by the bottle. The food is also incredible. They change up their lunch specials every day and have a meat & cheese board that’s out of this world. I can’t recommend it enough.

This place is great! The atmosphere is excellent and will be the first thing you notice. Real rustic modern kind of vibe. The wine will be the next thing you notice. High quality and affordable. We got a charcuterie tray and I can tell you it was the nicest we've ever had anywhere. Takes a while but there is a good reason! It all put together by hand with a large variety of snacks and jellies! Love this place.

I was in Middletown for a quick spell and a friend recommended this place. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to be in for a treat. I didn't order food but I ordered a beer and an Old Fashioned. My friend had a margarita and another cocktail. I love the decor. It was simple. A few tables, two sofa sets in the back, and a nice bar. The place is roomy and they played great music. The music wasn't overwhelming either. I will definitely go back and the next time, I shall order food. I heard their grilled cheese is well worth the ride down from Dayton. Also, It was affordable. So it's a great place for a date, to hang out, or just sit and read a book.

Worked with Monica planning a surprise 50th for my wife and WCW knocked it out of the park! Great atmosphere, great food, and great drinks! Did meat and cheese platter, Crostini, and Cruise platters and everything was great! Can't wait for the next visit! Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

We found West Central Wine last night and were so happy to have found it! Great atmosphere! Monica and Kate were awesome! Love the atmosphere, nice wine selection along with other liquor and beer. Small plates for food. They serve their drinks in vintage glasses, which I love! Can't wait to go back!

We just moved here from Colorado and need to find our new "date night spot." We found it!!! Great atmosphere, dim lighting, the music is not loud (thank you!!), the wine selection is amazing, and the charcuterie board is perfect with its variety and deliciousness. Monica knew what she was doing when she selected our wines and the Christmas decorations (very atmospheric lighting) made it just perfect. We will definitely be coming back!
