The Grapevine

Spent a lovely time here before the Venice concert on 6/15/13.  Our group started out with two people and ended up with seven.  Between the seven of us, we had two red wine flights, a white wine flight, two cider flights (amazing) and various glasses of cider and wine.  We also had a cheese plate and salami plate.  Everything was top notch.  

Our server (or was she a sommelier?) was great.  I think her name is Liz.  She was very entertaining and knowledgeable.  Will definitely be back when in the Village.

We have been in this Wine Boutique & Gift Store a few times before. Well we decided to sit at the wine bar & really give The Grapevine our full attention today. What a great surprise. Pete was cooking up special appetizers on the new Panini press & kept bringing us one dish after another to sample. The staff was so Friendly & Knowledgeable we were impressed. For $15 we tasted 5+ great Red Wines & ordered a cheese/salami plate & a Bottle of Badge Pino. Scott & Jodi welcomed us & he had just a great afternoon. We'll be back soon & attend a wine club function.
Do we need to say more ?? Highly Recommended & very above average !!

Everything about this place is awesome plus 1!  

One cold and snowy night in the mountains, they were hosting a complimentary wine tasting event for anyone and everyone.  Now this review is NOT based on the free samples.  This is based on the $35 bottle of wine that I bought plus the service during all the craziness going on inside the venue.  The service could not be more consistant.  You had large crowds slowly fighting their way to the bar while others are slowly fighting their way out.  You've got bottle after bottle after bottle being corked while service remained organized.  It was a blast.  At the same time, we still received a brief education on the wines being poured.  This called for a bottle purchase!

This place is a MUST for wine enthusiasts visiting Lake Arrowhead.  If it's not too cold, sit out on the patio.  Great views of the lake.
