It s in a lovely area and the main building is beautiful but there was a lady behind the counter who was extremely rude. I feel like for me to buy an almost $11 glass of wine I would like to try it first! I wasted no time, seeing as how they were busy, and asked to try 2 white wines before I bought a glass and possibly a bottle with the people I was there with. I mentioned to the employee behind the counter exactly what I was looking for and she rolled her eyes and proceeded to lecture me on how she should make me pay for a tasting with all these wines I probably wouldn t care for. I asked her, ok, would you like me to pay for a tasting or is it ok I just try the 2 I was interested in? She told me to hurry up and try them because there was a line behind me. I had been at the counter no longer than 5 minutes and knew exactly what I wanted before I even approached the bar area. I was very surprised but assumed she was frustrated because they were indeed very busy on a beautiful Saturday night. The wine was delicious but the service I received the first 10 minutes I was there makes it very difficult for me to consider returning.
