Highlights/lowlights
1) budget friendly wine tasting! Five wines for $5
2) open and inviting interior
3) wish there was more of a tour element or heritage story
First of all, I am by no means a wine tasting connoisseur and have actually only been on one other tasting (wollersheim) but I thought this was great! You don't get the tour and brand story element that you get with wollersheim but if you are looking to try good wine for a really inexpensive price this is the place to be!
I came on a late Friday afternoon with my boyfriend and nobody was there when we first got there but people started to trickle in after. The wood floors, clean bar area and tables make the space really inviting. The bartender was really friendly and talked us through the different tasting options and also told us which order we should taste the wine in to ensure we were getting the most of our experience. Each of us decided to try 5 wines for $5 (what a steal!). And the bartender didn't care if we each ordered different ones and tried each other's....so yes we tried 10 different wines for $10! The menu changes based on what wines are available and the day we were there there was about 6 whites, 3 reds and a dessert wine. You get a paper menu to follow along with that explains each wine and the flavor notes that make each one different. There are oyster crackers on the table (for free but not gluten free!) that you can munch on in between to clear your palette and also water available. There are snacks available for purchase (mostly chocolates, cheese and crackers etc.) as well.
Overall, had a great day at Fisher King Winery! I think there is a great story to tell hear so would love even a self guided your aspect or more of a brand story piece but we will definitely be back to try some of the wines that weren't on the menu this time!
