The owner, Rick, is the best! My son loves going to this cheese shop, and he's only 3 and has a passing interest in most adult things so that's saying a lot. Great wine and cheese selection, with friendly and super personalized service. Definitely the small-town New England shop vibe I love about living in Portsmouth.

We just love it here. The owner is kind and helpful and always a pleasure to talk to. The wine is amazing and the prices are really fair considering how great the selection is. The cheese options are also amazing. My boyfriend and I would happily spend all our money here - it’s the cutest local spot! So nice to have a small business like this to support in your neighborhood- it is one of the few establishments left that really preserves Portsmouth's charm! :)

The gentleman that helped me pick out my wine was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I went in with one purpose - two nice reds that paired well with steak and mussels. They both were a hit at the gathering and I will definitely be back to pick up a few more bottles!

This is a wonderful local wine shop. They have a nice selection of good wine, but it's not overwhelming so you can't go wrong with what you choose. The prices are very reasonable and the owner is friendly. Shop small!

Nice selection of cheese, wine and other gourmet crackers and delicacies. We got an excellent sharp old Quebec cheddar recommended to us and paired it with rosemary sea salt crackers. It made a tasty lunch on our drive around Portsmouth.

After visiting some of my favorite places in Portsmouth, I was headed for Sanders Fish Market for a lobster roll and stopped by South Street & Vine first to browse their cheeses. At the time of my visit, the owner’s son was in charge. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. I decided on a container of Vermont Creamery Double-Cream Cremont Cow & Goat Milk Cheese at $9.99. It was an aged cheese that had won several awards. At home, I tried some on a bagel at breakfast. I found the cheese to be very spreadable, smooth-textured, rich-tasting, creamy, and quite tangy. I thought it was a bit strong for a morning taste. I tried it again on crackers for afternoon tea and an evening snack. I found those uses more appropriate. For its unique flavor and spreadable texture, I rate Vermont Creamery Double-Cream Cremont Cheese and other foods I saw very highly. For the wide selection of distinctive foods and wines, I rate South Street & Vine at 5.0. I recommend a visit to all cheese and/or wine aficionados.
