| - When I first heard this place was moving in a year ago, I literally watched for updates, started following them on Twitter, doing drive Bys seeing if the coming soon sign had a date, cyber stalking press releases...you get the idea. I was obsessed with finding out when they were opening....
....and then they did...
My first experience here was really incredible. My hubs signed us up for the Burgers and Rosé wine tasting. Although they had my hubs reservation wrong, they caught it and called him twice to apologize and to reconfirm. So problem solved even before we got there and they were sooooo nice about it.
We arrived a little earlier than planned and sat at the bar and ordered a glass of bubbly. Bar tender was professional, and was nice. Told us about the prosecco that we ordered and offered us a taste to see if we would like it.
Off to the tasting event we go!!
We move into a long dinning room with an elegantly decorated table. The rosé had already been poured into 6 different wine glasses all sitting on top of numbered spaces ...so you could quickly reference which wine you were drinking. Hard to explain but so well organized and beautifully presented.
I felt awkward because I am just starting out my journey in learning about wines so I just knew that everyone that had signed up for this class were going to be wine know-it-alls....boy was I wrong. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone was nice, engaging, and there to have a good time and learn! The guy teaching us went through the history of rosé, where it started from, how it's made and the regions of the wines we were tasting. So much fun and I actually learned something! Most wine tastings are not as knowledgable or its a distributor trying to get you to buy a certain wine but don't know anything about the process. Not this fella...he knew his stuff! After tasting the six different wines, our food came out and we kept getting top offs of whatever wine you wanted to try again...and again...and OMG. Lol!
I almost forgot to write about the food!
The burger was had was ridiculous in a good way. Nice fat juicy burger with some type of garnish that was amazing. Totally impressed.
The wine prices are RETAILLLLL not restaurant rip off. I bout two bottles. So well worth it!
I seriously will be celebrating my birthday, Christmas, sunny days, wine down Wednesday's at this establishment. There is a patio for our door seating, and complimentary valet because parking is a bit challenging in that location. The restaurant interior is small however I think that's pretty cool. It forces more intimate conversations in smaller groups.
*standing and clapping* Well done Corkbuzz. You had me had hello.
