| - Decided to make a return visit with one of my gal pal's who was in the mood for some wine tasting.
This night they had a live Alternative rock band performing, that was a new experience as my last visit there was no live music. They were a good band, I liked some of their songs, yeah I was rocking out a bit! Unfortunately the band was the only thing good about our visit.
This visit sucked for me, and was a pure let down and disappointment to my friend who had never been and whom had been looking forward to it for awhile.
I had been once before and thought it was cool as that experience was like night and day compared to this second visit!
We both purchased a wine tasting card, $25 dollar minimum with a $5 charge to load the damn thing, really? OK $30 bucks for each of us to go around wine sampling and sipping etc.
We noticed half of the machines had EMPTY bottles, others were just BROKE and not dispensing for whatever reason? Also one of the machines I guess the bottle was almost empty, instead of the dispenser not allowing for a sample it still took my $4.00 and spit a wad of nothing into my glass. That should NOT happen! This is something I will be taking up as well in my complaint call to Management. Last night was just not an option, was busy and understaffed, loud and just not the appropriate time to discuss my complaints. It was just a bad bad bad experience this time around.
We noticed a lady that was seriously focused on making sure there were plenty of wine glasses, I mean back and forth with tons of glasses to fill the few empty spots. Was not necessary unless 200 people walked in at once to pick up a glass to use. I mean this is a small venue, there may have been 30 people.
I felt ripped off, between the two us us we spent $70 bucks on about 10 partial wine samples? It is crystal clear, the main emphasis is on the bar and the food. The wine tasting they offer is the least of their worries it appears as the neglect of the machines is just out of control. We had way too many issues with something as easy as wine tasting, Seriously, you insert card, hold glass press button and taste. Why was something that is so simple and easy made to be a horrible and lousy experience?
The experience could have been a lot better if they actually had someone walking around checking and refilling the machines as well as fixing the ones that were broken or not dispensing. It was not just one machine, it was many, we kept running into that problem that 1 out of 4 wine dispensers we hit up was an issue. NOT GOOD!
They seem more interested in the bar and the food service.
Yes they serve appetizers, we looked at the appetizer menu and passed. We just were not in the mood to pay $14 for some crackers and cheese I guess? lol Ridiculous.
I will be making a call today and speaking with a Manager about our bad experience. I will follow up on the results of that in another review update.
Unfortunately this was a bad night for the Hostile Grape :(
Hostile Grape will go in my overrated stash of places in las vegas.
The best thing that happened this night was that I came across a bottle of wine by the name of "Cockburns"
Will I be back? HELL NO
