I came down to support my Danish wine maker friend, Leo Steen. I was asked to pay $20 for the wine tasting, ridiculous. So Greg, the owner told me....its free if you subscribe to monthly deliveries.
He clearly did NOT understand my relationship with said wine maker. So he charged me the fee without shipping the wine I don't want.
Worst wine tasting experience ever!!

Excess of $240

Good wines, bit weird and sometimes sloppy service. We wanted to buy an extra bottle but weren't able to so we left

Wine was poured short and staff was not friendly. A disappointment considering it’s at least $20 a glass.

The wines were of course delicious. I would highly recommend offering flavored La Croix for designated drivers to have more variety of non alcoholic drink choices.

We recognize accidents happen, but after having a tray of water glasses spilled on us, we would have really appreciated and expected some type of compensation. One of the small cheese boards comped, or a discount on the wine - that would have been the expectation after the inconvenience. Especially since we never received the follow up water glasses that we all requested.

Amazing family-run wine bar with friendly and engaging bartenders and staff

Had the pleasure of meeting Greg tonight. I used to work in the wine industry and he made me reminisce on all the beautiful times. He’s an incredible soul. Stop in and say hi. And join the wine club! He knows how to pick em. Thanks!

Pretentious place, with overpriced wine and stingy pours. The staff is unfriendly.

Came here for a bottle of wine to round out my trip to the area. I am unfortunately not a wine expert by any means, but I knew that I wanted something rich and red. Host was friendly and instantly found me a well-thought-out selection that I would later discover to be the best wine I've ever tasted. Atmosphere was warm and friendly, service and price were exceptional. Highly recommend!

Parking: If street parking is hard to find, there is a public parking garage within easy walking distance.

Joe was an absolute joy to chat with and was happy to share his knowledge about wine. Enjoyed an afternoon glass with friends, will be back!

In a city full of great wine bars I would not return to this one but it was a fun quick stop. I liked how they have the last bottle specials. The blonde lady who served us though was not very nice & kind of threw off the whole vibe
