I LOVED this place. Such a cool idea, you are able to pick and choose your tastings and size of pours. There were only two waitresses/bartenders, but they did a great job. We got there on a Saturday at 3, when they opened, and it...Read More

This place... Let me tell you. Best wine experience and I am not a wine person. My wife and I were celebrating our ten year anniversary and this was one of our stops. The flowers, the arrangement, the food was all done by the Tastings...Read More

What a smart idea to have this self served wine tasting bar where you use a card to order your own wine from these cool machines! Great appetizers.. Came here for a party with our company, so fun!

The drinks were Great, the waitress was really nice and attentive and the bartender educated us on drink specials and how and what to mix our drinks with. They were both very attentive and we all had Great conversations.

Such a cool venue. Good varieties for your palette from all over the world. Fair prices on the pour and a very knowledgeable bartender for cocktails. Charcuterie was on point and staff was very attentive as well.

This is a cool idea for wine tastings! I enjoyed the concept of less talking to a SAHM and more selecting my wines. Red Wine: Barista, Sexual Chocolate and NV13

We had an excelled time tonight. Quinton was our server. Highly recommended! We were unsure how to use the machines but Quinton helped so we were successfully succeeding. 😂 wasn’t my best phrase but entertaining. One of best servers I’ve ever had. …

It's an amazing place to try wines. Located right in the heart of indy downtown. The ambiance is very tranquilizing, elegant and very spacious too. They have good desserts. They have French press coffee, it's quite bitter in taste but if you like bitter coffee,...Read More

Jay is amazing. I've never met a bartender that evolves with me. He took information over the time of the night and at the end, craft a drink especially for me.

The tastings of different wines sounded exciting. However the process sounded a little intimidating. Our waiter made it really easy, convenient and we had a great time. They also had some "must have" wines by the glass/tasting. Made for a great and very unique experience

My boyfriend and I went today, and we had never been. We did the wine sampling, and sat at the bar. Our bartender was absolutely amazing! Quinton was so helpful, kind, friendly, and funny! He absolutely deserves a raise and amazing tips!
