| - My first time to Wood & Wine. It was not what I expected inside. Its nice enough at the end of the visit. Its a large building with wide expanse both ways. As finished it does not have a lot of character. Its kind of like a pole barn building fully finished. There are booths, high top tables, a bar, and low tables. Because of where we sat I did not see that there was a nice looking wine cellar to look into. That is on the front of the restaurant. But go see it its attractive.
I was disappointed in the wine selection. I went to look for some Ohio wines, New York wines, maybe other local wines, like Virginia. There were none. Those wines are as good as any in the USA. Their selection is mainly California, some Oregon. They had French and South America well represented. But the lack of local has fueled the 2 of 5 star rating.
I had a glass of Petit Syrah which was great, a glass of Gewurztraminer was had by my dining companion and was good. Later I had a glass of Chile Carmernie which was a kind of flat flavored vanilla ish wine and I did not like it.
The wine was served in nice glasses and you don't normally get such nice glasses. That is a real plus.
We ordered the cheese plate, and picked 3 cheese's. The presentation was very nice and the cheeses were great.
For dinner, I had the Port Chop which was tasty. It had a nice sauce with strawberries and the vegetables were excellent. My dining companion ordered a margarita pizza which came burnt but they brought another soon after. However, it stated fresh tomatoes but these were for sure canned tomatoes. It had a kind of flat flavor and it tasted like sugar had been added to the sauce, another disappointment.
If I was rating on food along it would get a 4.0 as the cheese and pork chop dishes were 4 or slightly over 4 of 5. The Pizza was fresh but with canned tomatoes and mediocre sauce, and it hurt its flavor.
The big point drop was the lack of local touch in the wine selection. While there is apparently a person of some experience at the restaurant in terms of wine selection I just felt the choices seemed distributor dominated and distributors have a true lack of appreciation for local wines. If it was not a wine restaurant then I would probably give the wine list at least a 3 of 5. Again the lack of diversity is a big loss for someplace that considers itself a wine restaurant.
I will probably go back hoping that they might take up some local wines.
