O.M.G. Go support this local gem.
It's got an industrial/urban vibe. The mural is gorgeous! It's an open and lofty space with big windows at the front of the establishment; it all just works.
You can see into the room where they do all the bottling. And I'd love to be there just to witness a little bit of the process.
The location is great for me - I love that it's in Cleveland Heights. (This is a dangerous thing, of course, I could easily be here all the time!)
They offer a great tasting option that provides a wonderful introduction to their wines. At the time that I went - I could have picked 5 of the 7 available wines to taste test in a flight for the same price as a carafe of wine. (5 2oz pours for $15 dollars is NOT a bad deal at all.) Honestly, I think I'm going to have to do this next time I go.
The service was exemplary. I was greeted by a smiley face that was approachable and knew what she was talking about. She was attentive and she wasn't pushy. GOD, I LOVE staff like this. I mean, to walk into a place and receive that type of treatment within the first minute, is rare. So, kudos to the owner for picking an awesome chic to help her out!
The wine was great! I struggled between ordering a glass of Chardonnay or Syrah and I'm so glad I got the Syrah. It's the owner's favorite wine and it's actually blended with a bit of her cabernet too. I feel like I could easily be a self-proclaimed wine aficionado, so I'll spare you my take on the taste of it. All the more reason for you to go and experience the wines yourself!
Lastly, the owner was there and we got to chat for quite a while. She is extremely knowledgeable about what she's providing and she is SO passionate. She's a real person in there doing what she loves and that was so captivating. It's great to see an ambitious woman owning her own business and doing her own thang and taking names while she does it.
I'll be back!!!
