I'm still kind of confused about how I feel about this place. I had high hopes for it and was a bit let down.
Yes, finding this place is fun and I am glad I studied all the Yelp photos and reviews on how to find this place (thanks, guys!) because I probably would have given up and just gone to Postino as walking around Old Town in heels ain't my thang.
Joshua F. and I went on a Saturday night in July while they were running some kind of "Christmas in July" special. While I truly appreciate specials and discounts, I did not appreciate all the cheesy Christmas decor they had all over the place - a fake tree, Christmas music, cardboard cut-out decor, light stands everywhere. I feel like I wasn't able to experience the cozy, dark ambiance of this wine bar.
I was also taken aback by the prices of their wine flights ($15 - $27 for 3 - 9oz total), and $6 for a draft beer - but once you remember you are in Scottsdale, it makes more sense. This isn't your typical Saturday night in Old Town location - a little older crowd, with a little more clothing on.
I might try this place again just because I wanted to like it so much - maybe during a week night (not in July) after I get a raise and have so much money that I feel I deserve overpriced alcohol.
