tv2I am still getting complaints from dissatisfied customers of The Twisted Vine so this morning I stopped by to see if I could catch someone on the premises. The place was locked up and there were no cars in the parking lot.

There was a broken window to the left of the front door.

The side door glass had been smashed in right above the door lever—it looked like someone had attempted to break in. Inside, there were a couple of tables in various states of disarray—one was completely set; another looked like someone had left and the table was never bussed. I didn’t see one bottle of wine anywhere.

  1. Looks like The Twisted Vine has gone the way of the dodo. At least put up the requisite bs sign “under renovation”.

  2. They still have contact info in the window and the phone goes to an answering machine.

  5. The Twisted Vine team has been in Afghanistan overseeing the presidential elections, bankrolled by an anonymous former Taliban chef turned Dallas restaurateur.

  7. That doesn’t look like a break in to me. Looks more like someone got pissed and threw a rock or two through the windows…

  8. Doubt it was a break in…there is nothing inside. How this shell game gets to keep operating is beyond me. Thanks for the update.

  9. I know someone who called but couldn’t leave a message because the mailbox is full. I would contact the BBB regarding these folks. Sounds like those wine bottles are full of snake oil.

  10. @Rawlins: Think the team is in District 9 capitalizing on cat food sales.
