Frisco's Vine Street Social

Frisco's Vine Street Social - A Conversation with Debbi Anderson

Newly opened in December 2023 Vine Street Social is a trendy new place to socialize and enjoy wine and small bites with friends and family in downtown Frisco. I sat down with the owner Debbi Anderson and asked all the questions you may have before visiting her beautiful new wine bar. Take a read and then visit Vine Street Social when you are in town.

Q: How did you first get into wine and what led you to open a wine bar in Frisco?
A: I've always had a passion for wine and have made many trips that were centered around visiting different wine regions and vineyards. I wanted to create a space within the Summit County community for people to come together, mingle, spend time with friends, and have small bites and wine, so I decided to embark on this new adventure in a town I love.

Q: What was your career before opening Vine Street Social?
A: I was a CPA with my own tax practice in Denver for 23 years.

Q: How long have you lived in Summit County?
A: In December 2022, my husband Eric and I moved to Frisco full-time, but we have had a home in Frisco for over ten years.

Q: How did you choose your location?
A: I love the small-town feel of Frisco, the community feeling you get when in Frisco, and I wanted to walk to work, so we decided to look for a space in downtown Frisco.

Q: What kind of events do you host at Vine Street Social?
A: Every week, we have Wine Flight Wednesdays, where you can explore and try wines from different regions, varietals, and themes; we have live music once or twice per week. We also have an upcoming comedy show on March 2, 2024; tickets can be purchased online; the last comedy show sold out.

Q: You serve a variety of food options; what is your favorite item on the menu?
A: Both the Fig, Prosciutto & Blue Cheese Flatbread and the Green Onion & Blue Cheese Dip are customers' favorites.

Q: What cocktails do you offer outside of wine?
A: We offer craft beer on draft, espresso martinis, local gin, vodka and whiskey cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Q: Do you have a space to hold private events?
A: We do have a private space downstairs that should be open by June for private events.

Q: What is your favorite recreational activity to do in Summit County?
A: I really enjoy riding bikes in the summer and hiking in both the summer and winter with friends and family.

Q: What is your favorite type of wine?
A: The one in front of me!

Q: Do you have a favorite vineyard?
A: Knudsen Vineyards in Oregon and Black Cat Vineyards in California are both spectacular.

Q: If you were your own customer, what day of the week would be your favorite to visit Vine Street Social and why?
A: Sundays! We offer happy hour all day and an array of brunch items like homemade biscuits and gravy, quiche, mimosas, bloody marys, and more. 

Q: What is one or two things all wine drinkers (novice or experienced) should know about wine?
A: At the end of the day, wine is a personal preference; there is no right or wrong regarding wine or a specific taste. Wine brings people together, and everyone gets a chance to enjoy the wine of their choosing, which makes wine special.
