| - I first discovered this Grape (my first Grape experience ever) after a day of shopping after-Christmas sales at Northlake Mall. My feet were tired, my eyes were bloodshot, my arms were sore (from lugging around all the great sale items I found), and my thirst needed quenching. We spotted the entrance to The Grape and took a peek inside. We loved the modern decor, the quiet mood of the restaurant, and the greeting we got upon approaching the door. The hostess explained to us the concept of The Grape -- that it was a wine and tapas bar and if you liked any of the wines you tried, you could buy a bottle in their gift shop on the way out. We decided to give it a try. We had earned it.
We entered, set our bags down around a counterheight table, and proceeded to sample a variety of wines. After a long day of shopping, this first experience at The Grape was just what I needed. What a fun, relaxing way to end the day!
On our way out, we stopped in the gift shop to check on the prices of them. Some were within my price range, others not. I enjoy a nice glass of wine, but I'm not a connoisseur and my wallet only allows me to spend no more than $15 for a bottle of wine at a store. I went with a red that was under $15 that I enjoyed at the table.
The whole visit left me with a very favorable experience with The Grape and the entire shopping trip. I highly recommend The Grape at the end of the day for all you Christmas and after-Christmas shoppers!
