  Great concept! You get to try a glass of that wine that you've seen only sold by the bottle. Fantastic atmosphere!  I've gotten to know the staff and they're great! New wines daily!

  Pros..Tucked away in a strip mall. Good selection & variety of drinks to pick from. Cool decor & great place for friends to meet up or to take a date to.
  
  Cons..I believe there is a big opportunity to improve customer service. host had a cold/poker face when we walked in & our glasses where empty for ~ 20 minutes and no one came over to ask if we needed anything.

  Drink only recently opened but already seems to have a "crowd". When I got there at 9:30 the place was packed.   The seats are lounge style booths with short tables and the back has a few dining tables for eating meals. The room itself has the tables on the perimeter to make room for the wine fountains in the middle. The design seems to be all about ambiance. The music is soft but unrecognizable, the TVs are playing top fashion designer runway shows, and the colors are black and soft velvety crimsons. I actually got a few outfit inspirations from those runways!
  
  The fountains or whatever they are actually are pretty cool. There are three in the room containing an assortment of wines dividend between whites and reds. At the bar you get a card to put in the machine and a glass,  and then you insert the card in the machine to pick a wine and sample 3,6, or 8 ounces. Price depends on the bottle, but ranges $2-10 for the smallest sample. I pre-loaded my card with 20 bucks and was able to get about 4 small to mid samples. The machine also gives your balance. There is an "open tab" card too, but that seems dangerous.  The bartender was kind enough to warn me someone ran up a big tab the other night by mistake that way. You can also get beer and $10 cocktails.
  
  The food is kind of upscale appetizers. Duck sliders, fish tacos, etc... So no chicken tenders here. I split the salmon dip with pita chips and it was really good. The truffles are great too. This place is owned by Bistro at the Tracks so they share a kitchen.
  
  All and all pretty good. I'm curious to see if the place takes off or if eventually people start dressing to match to TVs. I doubted in Knoxville, but a girl could dream.
