I was super impressed!\n\nThe space is really nice, it has an industrial feel, but really spacious and clean. The wine selection is unique and diverse, not something that can be said for many places in Madison. They have lots of tastings, and a very knowledgeable (and friendly!) staff. The tastings have a good variety of wines sampled, typically a little something for everyone.\n\nThey had a bit of a crowd on Friday, and I think they could have had at least one more person working the tasting. There was just one guy pouring for everyone, and you had to stand in a line/crowd for your next pour. I am perfectly happy taking my time with a tasting, but I really enjoy chatting with the staff and learning more about the wines I'm tasting. This is tough to do when there are a lot of people being helped by the same person. I think the overall experience would have been improved by a few more people handling the tastings.\n\nI appreciated the spread of bread, cheese, and cured meat. I did want water to rinse my glass and mouth a few times, which they did not have.\n\nLastly, I've been to many wine tastings and have never had such tiny pours! There was barely enough to get 2-3 sips of the wine. Most other tastings I've been to give very generous pours, so this was a surprising to me.\n\nOverall, I really enjoyed coming here. I think they could improve a few things, but given the lack of comparable places in Madison, I'm just glad this place is here and as nice as it is."^^ . "4"^^ .
