I love the idea of a winery tucked away in Old Town. But I just found the delivery a little off. \n\nYou can't beat the Ladies Night pricing (even the regular pricing is good) but what that meant was that it was only women, save the servers, in the establishment. It was kind of strange. I wish the samples were a little more generous and I really wish they gave you a new glass for each one. I was quick enough to grab an unused glass for my second sample, as my first was an almond champagne (it was interesting) and pouring another wine into that glass would have surely tainted the taste. I would expect a winery to know better. I also had a great view of a ton of plastic water cooler looking jugs filled with wine in the back. Is it normal to store wine in plastic jugs? There was paper covering the ceiling and at one point they were playing Dark Side. It was just plain odd. (Not that I don't enjoy Dark Side its just a little strange at a winery....)\n\nThe food is your standard wine bar fare. I chose the cheese plate which I thought was average at best. None of the cheeses were particularly memorable and I would have preferred if they were served with something other than Carr's water crackers. \n\nThe service was slow. Food was slow to come out, which is odd to me because the place is small and none of the items really require cooking. Our server was also very slow in bringing out our tastings or checking on us to see if we were ready for another. \n\nWill I be back? Um....to be honest, its doubtful. Maybe if I happen to be on that side of Scottsdale Rd but honestly there are so many choices for wine cafes here that this probably wouldn't be on my radar.
