| - BACKGROUND
My girlfriend, Therése, and I wanted a place where we could talk business, but still get something healthy to snack on and have some good wine. She suggested Terroir Wine Pub in Scottsdale. I wasn't sure, since I had never heard of it, but she seemed convinced that it was perfect, so I said yes.
TERROIR WINE PUB
Terroir Wine Pub was established January 2005, by Brian Mahoney. His motto for his bar is "the friendliest wine bar in Scottsdale and the original wine pub" and "Fine Wines and Sublime Times."
Terroir Wine Pub is located at the Scottsdale Seville Center at the NE corner of Scottsdale and Indian Bend.
THE STORY
As I walked in, I immediately noticed that the rectangular shape of the place lends itself for people to mingle. In true pub style, apparently there is a big local following, so coming in by yourself is a great way to meet a lot of new people and is encouraged.
It's also hard to miss the impressive wall of wines. (see pic) Terroir Wine Pub changes the wine list daily and likes to minimize pretension and flowery descriptions of the wines, which allows the customer to discover their own tastes in a casual environment. Brian and his staff do have a lot of knowledge and plenty of suggestions to guide you as well.
There is also a wide selection of craft and microbrews in bottles and several beers on draft.
TERROIR WINE PUB: THE MENU
Although Terroir Wine Pub mainly focuses on wines, there is a food menu, featuring appetizers, Bruschettas, Lavoshes, and chocolates.
The appetizers include:
~Hummus Plate (which we had - see pic)
~Pesto Magnificent
~The Formage Plate
~Olive Nut Plate
~Spring Slices
~Terroir's Signature Cheese & Salami Plate
(which we had - see pic)
SERVICE EXPERIENCE
The staff came and went; each very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and kept the wine and food coming. They were also noticeably perceptive when to come over and when to let us talk without interruption. I appreciate that very much.
CONCLUSION
As we were leaving, Brian showed us around and thanked us for our visit. I appreciate that too.
I will definitely come back.
