We had an excelled time tonight. Quinton was our server. Highly recommended! We were unsure how to use the machines but Quinton helped so we were successfully succeeding. ? wasn’t my best phrase but entertaining. One of best servers I’ve ever had.
You can preload a wine tasting card and walk through the entire establishment tasting samples until you can't walk..There are 72 different bottles throughout our floor you can walk around with a glass and pour a 2, 4, or 6oz glass freely for yourself.A huge variety of region's, varietals, reds, whites, flavors, everything.Once you have made your selection you are welcome to sit down and enjoy a freshly popped bottle just for yourself or you can sit at the bar and enjoy specially mixed cocktails.One of the pluses about this establishment is that all of the art is the art is purchasible you can either take it with you or they can ship it to you.
While I know this is a wine place, the real Star is Jay. He makes the most amazing cocktails, with plenty of flavor and interesting information to go with them .
Went with my bestie for her bday...chill spot. Wish I could remember my favorite red wine!
The entire atmosphere is a “more impressive than it really is” feel.For those not really into wine, they give you a card and you sample as you go. Really fun, just pricey, FYI. Not really much depth unless you sit at the bar and speak with the bartender to talk about the wines. Even then, it was a little disappointing (see below).For wine enthusiasts, the wine list could be better. The tastings you can do are good and a nice mix of New and Old World, but even then it’s not worth the price for some of the 6 oz pours. I was hoping for something more high-end restaurant-esque. A lot of the wines you can get in a grocery store like Whole Foods, Greenwise, etc.I’m mixed on the service: The bartender was helpful, but only when I had to flag him down. It was not busy but he kept spending time laughing with patrons he clearly knew. Meanwhile, I spent $89 on wine plus tip on myself alone and had to wave him down (literally wave) multiple times just to come back. Further, I’m from Alabama and he was making fun of southern people (to his friends) because they were there previously for the Alabama/Georgia national championship. He was mimicking a southern accent like people were from Deliverance. If you’re from the South, you know this can be offensive. It was just altogether awkward.The food: It will do fine if you just need something for comfort. I ordered an $11 margarita flatbread and it was worth it. If you’re a pizza person, this is not the place for you. I had been in airports and planes all day and just wanted food, so no complaints, but that’s the main reason why. I wouldn’t dine here if I were local.Overall, it just wasn’t what I was expecting after reading a lot of reviews and doing research for my trip to Indy. I wanted a nice wine tasting with some good food before bed. It was fine, but definitely not worth what I paid.
Came for a Champaign tasting. They had 3 stations with champaigns and sparkling wines from all over the world and price spectrum. Each station was manned by knowledgeable and friendly staff who gave us the rundown on each flute we tried. There were also appetizers, flatbreads, cheese, spiced chicken and other things to munch on while you drank. We ordered a small dinner (2 flatbreads and some steak appetizers), and drank our fill, then purchased 2 bottles of sparkling wine at very reasonable prices to take home.
for a wine bar, the food bites were very tasty. I think I ordered a salmon based dish and another maybe shellfish dish, but it was good
Nice atmosphere. Good drinks,wine and staff
A great spot my wife and I have enjoyed over the years. They recently updated their interior to be more contemporary. They have a large selection of all types of wine. The atmosphere is chill, not too loud. There is a basic food menu with hor d'eouvres to snack on whilst tasting. It is co tiguous with The Conrad and Capital Grill, which are atop notch hotel and restaurant, respectively.
WOW!!! If you have not stopped in to this little establishment next to the Conrad, you’re missing a great experience, stop in and ask for Jay , he will make you some of the best cocktails you’ve ever had! It’s nice to see you someone so passionate !
