We were on our way to dessert but saw wine 😄 The bright sunny day and the chairs outside, made a friend and I pull over to have a glass of wine here. It's a well lit, wine store that also has cheese, crackers and other beverages to grab and go. Towards the back you can order a glass of wine or half glasses. We both tried different wines and enjoyed them. My friend had an organ wine, Esoterico. I had a red from Kid Sister. Our winetender/sommelier was helpful in answering our profile questions. I do wish we could taste a few before choosing a glass, but I do like that they have options for half glass pours. I would definitely come back here and grab another glass or a bottle to go!

Honestly I was quite disappointed. Brought a date, and they do have an interesting selection, fair buying prices. But it's a wine bar- but if you want to purchase a bottle to drink there- $10-12 corkage 😅. So, guess what- no purchase. No sense; asked why? "Industry standard." Have some creativity, geez. Anyhow- looks nice. Good- you can bring Tacos Oscar in to eat, on buying a glass, of course.
