So, the idea of a wine tasting bar sounded pretty cool and the atmosphere is incredible - California Winecountry meets the Pacific Northwest.
Sadly, I was more than disappointed. Our waiter left a little to be desired, forgetting what we ordered and giving us incorrect checks.
The wine tasting bar was the biggest disappointment. The idea is to use a card system to dispense 2oz. glasses of various wines, giving you a larger variety of wines to try.
Of the 12 or so red wines, there 6 Cabs, 3 Pinots and a few odds and ends... with no Merlots at all. Each wine tasted watered down and ultimately were poor in flavor and quality.
The clientele seemed to be drinking more beer and cocktails than anything else and I was one of maybe a handful of people using the tasting machine.
High marks for atmosphere and concept, but the execution was severely lacking.
