| - I love the idea of this wine bar. The location is very cute, cozy, and fun. Unfortunately, this may just be a one time deal for me.
The price you pay for a glass is about the same as a restaurant, aka overpriced. The whole tap thing is cool, except for that it's always running out. And the buttons on the machine also don't work well. The first glass I got there, it ran out right away because it was already pretty much empty. I opted for the smallest glass size too. The worker emptied the rest for me as she replaced it, but I right away got ripped off and didn't get the full amount so I was already not a fan. She didn't seem to care/notice even.
The selection is pretty minimal. One of each kind (moscato, chardonnay, etc). They try to get fancy nancy wines to make up for the price per glass, but I actually didn't find myself liking any of these any more than a bottle of barefoot (but maybe that's just the WI girl in me but I have still toured Sonoma and Napa and enjoyed it).
Overall this is a fun place to meet up with some girlfriends, chat over a glass or two, but I'm really not a big fan of this it otherwise due to price and the tap system. Honestly, I've thought about taking friends here to catch up, but ended up deciding against it because I didn't feel comfortable bringing my friends somewhere where we'd spend so much just to have a few drinks (again, this is WI, we're not just going to sip ONE [half] glass of wine). There are a lot of other places I can get more for my money, and I'd also rather just go buy the 2 bottles from the store for the price of 2 fills here.
It would be nice for them to implement more local wines too, that maybe they could get for a better price and have them on their taps cheaper. It'd be a fun way to try local ones, and promote their business in the area for people to go buy their bottles after trying it here.
