Wednesday wine flight: 3 tiny glasses of wine (2 oz ish) with a 1-2 bite appie pairing. 2 of the wines were really really good. 1 of appies for example was a small bowl of spiced roasted chickpeas. Wines presented with a brief sentence/story from rep from Capital Wines. The bites were not bad and interestingly paired - Riesling with beet/fennel/anchovy salad, Chard with cucumber, ginger butter on bread, Cab with spiced chickpeas. Seating was open in the lounge/bar area, reservations required.
Atmosphere and service: 4 star.
Ordered 2 appetizers which were really okay. Not bad. I want to say they were really good. A goat cheese with olive oily crostini and pinenuts, red pepper, garlic. The goat cheese itself was delicious. A galette with cabbage and swiss - mushy crust/bread, lots of cheese and not enough of the delicious red cabbage. I appreciated the unusual filling. The servings were substantial, we felt full and didn't even finish them. They were maybe $8 each so priced well. The other glass of wine I ordered off menu was just okay.
I would pay more for more wine and stories from the wine rep with the tasty bites. Maybe more wines and a couple larger bites in the middle. Ooh, and a small dessert bite.
