| - My best girlfriend and I made a brunch plan for 5th and Wine in Scottsdale and had a nice experience, however the one thing was missing - local Arizona wines! Remembering that I had seen an invite for the grand opening of this place come through my Facebook feed earlier this month, I floated the idea of stopping in and doing a tasting - I'm so glad my friend was an easy sell!
We loved everything about our visit here - the location is perfect right in the heart of old town on Marshall, but this particular tasting room really stands out for all the right reasons. First of all, the décor is beautiful and inviting, the staff is friendly and welcoming and the space is really lovely and nice and cool to combat that 100 degree walk we just took to get there.
Now our plan was to split a tasting - singular - but, once we saw there were 9 available and a bonus Members-only bottle that they were willing to let us sample if we bought 2 flights - well, we were SOLD! Every single wine was great, I was partial to the Grenache and my friend loved the Sangiovese- so much so that we took home a bottle of each. Even as the tasting room became busier and busier as we sampled our way through, the service was amazing the entire time - I really loved it there. The flight includes 5 samples and is only $10. They let you take home a nice full size wine glass with your tasting (none of those baby samplers that you often are given) and as an extra bonus, because we bought 2 bottles, we got one of our tastings comp'd.
Overall, had an amazing afternoon here, can't wait to go back. The hours are right - open most days and for long enough to enjoy a before-dinner flight. Also, the wine club sounds great and you can do the local pickup option right from the tasting room - I'm about 2 clicks away from completing my membership and had to spread the word. Love this place - drink local! :)
