Wow, whenever I visited the actual location, the customer service and the staff were always very friendly, especially the general manager (a gentleman who always made the experience pleasant). The location was really nice, the private room was great and the vibes were awesome. Unfortunately, my experience with Nikki Harris, who is also listed as a general manager, has been the complete opposite. For months, I have been asking how I can actually receive my wines, and I have the emails to prove it. I never received a single response or clear direction. The whole communication around this has been terrible. When Nikki finally did reply, it was with a rude and dismissive message, one that I've attached here for transparency, without ever acknowledging my prior outreach. This is not the way paying customers should be spoken to or treated, especially when they have been spending money and not able to get clarity on their products. I had already canceled my membership before this exchange, but had I not, I certainly would have afterward. Her tone and lack of professionalism were unacceptable, and it made clear to me that she does not understand what respectful customer service looks like. She also had to backtrack on her email without even knowing the facts. The worst! I understand that closures and operational challenges happen, but respect and clear communication should never be optional. Unfortunately, Nikki Harris demonstrated neither.

Found this cute little spot near our place and decided to try the brunch bites tasting for our anniversary. Great decision! India was our wine guide and she was magnificent! Very knowledgeable, but also very personable. She gave us great recommendations, she was thorough in explaining all the details about the wines we were tasting and her attitude was just top tier. The food was okay, nothing to really write home about. But it didn't matter because we all know the wine is the main character . Will definitely return, this seems like a really chill spot.

My friend and I booked a wine tasting at Pur Noire for a Saturday afternoon (we also ordered the charcuterie board as well). We were seated with another group that was there for a birthday and the person who was guiding us through the tastings came within 10 min of the entire group being seated. We learned how to sip, see and aerate wine, and got to try 6 difference of their in-house wines. The experience lasted about 2 hours. The charcuterie board was super delicious and I really enjoyed that the guide checked in with us after each tasting to discuss what we liked and didn't like, the different notes, and give us insight into how it's made. At the end, they gave us information about a membership which I am highly interested in, and both my friend and I purchased a bottle each. This was a super fun learning experience and the staff is really knowledgeable. I'd definitely come for like a group activity and will strongly consider the membership for the flexibility and perks.

One of my hobbies is visiting vineyards and wineries so of course I had to visit here for wine tasting. We found street parking across the street. When you walk in, there's a little lounge section on one side tucked away. The black and green interior did not grab me as aesthetically pleasing and it just didn't work in my opinion for a wine tasting room. I didn't get that rustic relaxing vibe, things just seemed out of place. Our server was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the wine selection, offering helpful guidance as we navigated the menu. I stuck to my usual whites as I am not a red wine drinker. Surprisingly, I did not leave with a bottle of wine as none of the wines were special and nothing stuck out to me. The wines were not the best I've tasted and my date didn't seem to enjoy them either (this was his first wine tasting experience) so I felt bad because he excitedly made these reservations for me. All in all, I probably won't be back.

We stopped in for a wine tasting and some charcuterie and had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us find the notes in every wine and made great pairing suggestions both with the charcuterie in front of us and for future meals in case we wanted to buy a bottle. They don't offer pours by the glass if you walk in and feature their membership, which is subscription based and looked great, but since we weren't local wasn't a good fit for us. The space was also pretty cute and we liked the high top setup that was great for our group. Check them out!

We really enjoyed our wine tasting here. This is the first time where I've went to a wine tasting. And they actually slowed it down, explain the wines axes about um, subtle tones within the wine, whether it was fruit based or um, smoky, or just basically asks in us to use all five senses in the way and to get the full experience of the wine itself. Each pour is about one ounce, and they start from three pores until six pores, I believe. I'm normally a very sweet wine girly, but this definitely had me step out.The box and be open minded and try something different.And I enjoyed it, and I had a nice buzz afterward, so it was a win win! The place is really cute and intimate definitely recommend a visit!

Reservations are highly recommended. We lucked out when we arrived and sat at the bar area. Pur Noire is the first black-owned winery and tasting room in Houston. Our enthusiastic sommelier was very knowledgeable about the wines he presented us. I loved hearing about the history of the business and its owners. We were able to sample a flight of wine. We sampled their premium wines crafted from Napa Valley. Pur Euphoria was my favorite. I was pleased to find out that you can order their wines online to be delivered since we were visiting Houston. I absolutely recommend this establishment. It is modern, the hospitality is top tier, the decor is eye catching and the wine is great.

A group of were having a Galentine's weekend celebration. This was our first stop and it set the mood for the rest of the weekend. The staff is very knowledgeable of the wines and pairings. Even if you have a preference for a certain wine, it is a great opportunity to try something you wouldn't normally try. I did purchase a bottle of the Chardonnay. The best part is that this is a Black Owned Business. See you soon!

I can keep coming here just for their noire night cap port style wine! It is really good! I love the ambience and decor. They always playing good music. The staff are awesome! What I would like to see more of is in the food selections. They have very slim options. The charcuterie board is good, but that's it. You used to be able to order off a lite bites menu from common bond and get it delivered there, but now that common bond has closed that location, there are no options. So do not come hungry.

Came in as part of trivia night event for Harry Potter, got there just in time to order their sparkling brut the celebrer during happy hour. The event was great and the drink excellent, definitely will be back, especially for the event. Service was great and generally ambiance is fairly classy although a bit snug with how many people came.
