| - Okay... Is how I felt after leaving Casavino's "wine bottling experience". Not great, not terrible... just okay. They are definitely trying too hard with some of their wine blends, the first 5 tasting were so sweet and tasted like cough syrup. I'm not one to waste alcohol, but for the sake of my stomach, I dumped them in the bucket! Thank goodness the wine did get better once we got into the reds, and finished strong with the white chocolate port! The service was also just okay, I can't really blame the host (I think it would be a stretch to refer to him as a sommelier), they were overbooked. He had 4 parties of 4 at all different points in the "experience", so he was all over the place. We found ourselves waiting significant time in between tastings, and then rushed at others. All things considered, I probably won't be back, primarily because it's a pretty far drive and I can get the same mediocre experience at Su Vino which is down the street. Although I will have to figure out how to get my hands on another bottle of that port!
