I absolutely had to get back on here and plug the pizzas! They are the best pizzas that I have ever had. The crust is really thin, the topping are tasty and imaginative. On occasion, my wife and I even crave them. Great job folks! To the reviewer below that wanted complimentary water and cheese: They do have complimentary water. You just have to ask for it. As for complimentary cheese and crackers. Good cheese is expensive...on occasion it can be really expensive. Regardless of how much you spend at a restaurant, you cannot expect them to comp things like that. Cheese is also hard to pair with wine...some cheeses goes better with certain wines than others. To get a good cheese and wine experience, you have to choose carefully or you will get some pretty bad combinations. I hope this helps you on future visits to the Tasting Room.

Overall, very similar to the good experience I've had at Uptown (ambiance, wine selection, etc) ... that is, with the exception of the 3 employees tending the bar. Even though it was quite empty the entire evening, they just didn't seem to care if we were served ... twice I had to make a special effort to get their attention to order. Never once did they check back on us to see how we were doing. The only time they approached us was to ask us to move from our spot at the bar so that the musical entertainment could set up for the evening. Keep in mind, the place was very empty ... no excuse for this behavior.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The selection of wines is good. I wish that there were more French selections on their list. The wines are mainly Californian and many Australian selections. The cheese plates are good but I haven't tried many of the other appetizer plates. You can sit inside or outside and the atmosphere is great either way. The Saturday Tastings are a real bargain. I highly recommend this wine bar.

But be warned - they close at midnight and all wine needs to be consumed (not just purchased) by then. Even still, it's a great place. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and reasonably priced bottles! Finally!!

The atmosphere is very nice, you can also sit inside or outside. The waitstaff was friendly and the wines are reasonably priced. They also sell wines by the bottle, so you pay retail rather than restaurant prices. I definitely recommend this place.
