| - I was here for a wine tasting event, so keep that in mind.
HOWEVER (and it's a big one) I think you can tell a lot about a place in how they treat somebody holding an event there. It's in the details, methinks, and Terrior didn't do such a hot job in hosting about 35 wine tasters. They ran out of food right away and were incredibly slow in replenishing. In fact, I think they brought out 2 trays of food the entire 3 hours of the wine tasting event.
I managed to taste a small slice of their pizza, along with some cheese. Maybe the event organizers and the venue disagreed, but the cheeses were suppose to be from Europe. They ended up being your run-of-the-mill cheese: jack, swiss and chedder. And the fruit they were paired with were - shocking! - Granny Smith apples and crunchy pears. Oh, and also slices of plain white bread. Meh.
The tasting was suppose to introduce 4 new blends. Again, I think the organizers of the event and the venue must've disagreed. For the two whites that were served were not exactly what was advertised. And they weren't good, on top of that. I had the one with the Viogner blended in, and I took one sip and put it down. That's when I decided to try the red blends. Uhm, they were mediocre. If this is what the venue presents to impress wine tasters, then they should re-consider. Seriously. I finally manged to find a red blend I liked, but then they ran out of wine! Seriously... I didn't pay $25 to come to an event for only one glass of wine!
Since my friends and I weren't able to snag some food at the event, we ordered their cheese tray. They would customize the cheeses - at a price. So we went with their standard, which, like I said, came with Granny Smith apples, pears and dry bread. Ugh. So not impressed.
This place boasts about being unpretentious and a place for the everyday wine drinker who doesn't know much about wine. Well, even if that's the case, please learn to do a better job at hosting events and presenting a cheese tray that doesn't make everyone at the table scoff and grumble with disappointment.
REDEEMING QUALITIES:
*The interior of the "wine pub" is small yet homey.
*They have two separate patio areas.
*Their bottles for sell are reasonably priced (you can get a great pinot noir for $20).
*They do sell beer here. A pretty wide selection at that.
*You can join their Beer Club and/or Wine Club for a monthly fee.
