| - First off, I have to admit that I do not know the difference between a merlot and a cabernet sauvignon. However, if I ever really wanted to figure it out, this is where I would come.
If you look at my other reviews here, you'd see that I really enjoy my beer. But I'm branching out and have been trying wine, and this is a place that I quite enjoy. You'd think that with its location in DC Ranch that the prices would be off the charts, but I was quite surprised that it was relatively affordable. They've got more wine to choose from that I could pronounce, and lots of different varieties of my new favorite thing: wine flights. Since I don't know much about wine, it's nice to try different types to see what suits me.
The food here is phenomenal. Their cheese plate actually lets you choose what types of cheese you want, from cheddar to funky smelly cheese that many people think is great but just weirds me out. The hummus and shrimp cocktail are quite nice too. From looking at the signage in the place, most nights have some sort of wine special, from half-priced bottles to wine tasting.
The atmosphere here is typical Scottsdale. You have you cougars, your retired rich folks, your $30K-millionaires, and your normal folks (like me). They have high-top bar tables and super comfortable couches, along with areas tailor made for groups. Sitting out on the patio is nice too. The servers that I have come in contact with have been very attentive and very knowledgeable about the various types of wine.
