  • We got to try out a full 5-wine-tasting experience at Su Vino, and it was an afternoon pretty well spent. High points! The location - Wood flooring, a good use of a somewhat unusual space, lots of seating. Placed in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale. The food - The cheese platter, the antipasto platter, and the bread-and-oil combo were all pretty delicious. Simple fare, mostly for keeping your stomach settled between wine courses, naturally, but artfully arranged and tasty. The wine - I'm a fan of sweet wines and this place delivered very well. Personal favorites are the "Summer Rain" and the "Porta Cocoa." Summer Rain was a vibrant, fruity mix, and the Porta Cocoa is a chocolate-noted, heavy dessert wine with a ton of complex flavors. Both highly recommended for fans of sweets. I had another person with me who prefers dry wines and she loved the Mascala and Cabernet, so Su Vino's wine - presumably their central attraction - definitely passes muster. Not-so-high-points...: One of the servers there felt extremely out of place. Our initial greeter was a charming woman who knew her business and was able to answer a lot of questions or provide recommendations. Service, however, was split between her and a man who wore jeans and an untucked shirt and who had a "yeah-whaddya-want" attitude. It makes it feel like Su Vino can't really decide what kind of place it wants to be - a hip little wine-bar for walk-ins, or a classier and more formal place. There are ways to mix the two, but this wasn't it. It's either a roadhouse that specializes in wine, or an upscale winery experience. Secondly, they have a collection of old board games made available to customers, from Trivial Pursuit to Boggle. This again seems to raise questions about exactly what kind of place Su Vino is trying to be. A place that bottles its own wines and looks like this should not be trying to become a family restaurant, and if it's meant more as a "things to do on your date," maybe 1970s Trivial Pursuit isn't the way to go...? tl;dr - Overall, Su Vino gets three stars on this particular pass. The overall experience was good. The concept of Su Vino could work out in the long run, but it needs to get over its identity crisis. Be a classy night-life joint OR a bro-dawg date-spot, but don't try to be both.
