Had a great time here. The staff was friendly & gracious. Food was delicious. (Get the blackberry almond brie!) Wine and beer (from double wing) were both really good. I got the premium red tasting for $12 that included a souvenir glass, chocolate & pretzels. This place isn't fancy but it's cozy, quaint, relaxed & reasonably priced. I would def recommend!

Not sure who the curly blonde hair lady that was working the bar is on Sunday Dec 5th around 2:00 is but maybe it is time to retire. Sorry to inconvenience you by buying wine. At least the young lady working with you had a smile and nice personality. You can learn from her.
