As your wine merchant, the best way we can advise you about the nuances of the many different wines available in our store is to understand your palate. Our Sampling Tavern provides the perfect way to try a variety of wine every week, without spending hundreds of dollars on wine, only to find you don't like half of what you purchased! Join us regularly to sample up to 16 wines every week and you'll quickly find the taste and style preferences that appeal...as well as those that don't! A new rack of 16 wines are available every Wednesday through the weekend. The Sampling Tavern is open from Noon every day until 6.30pm, or 4.45pm on Sundays.
We look forward to discussing your likes and dislikes so we can begin an understanding of YOUR preferences allowing us to curate a personal selection of wines you would enjoy. Whether it's to increase your own knowledge, taste before you buy or learn what you and your friends prefer in wine, the mix of wines on tasting duty will show you a broad spectrum of styles for you to experience. We look forward to you joining us!
We also conduct wine tastings and wine classes. Any special events will be posted on our classes/events page. Click the link to see what's coming up!

When you arrive at the store and ask us to sample, you have the option of pre-paying for a sampling card or receiving an 'Open Tab' card. Open Tab cards are secured with your credit card. You use the sampling card to interact with the pouring machines to select the wines you want to explore.
Each wine on offer has the option to taste (1oz), sample (3oz) or enjoy by the glass (5oz). Each pour volume is priced separately, so the amount you spend depends on how you choose to enjoy your experience with us.
