Plum Court Wine Room

I attended one of their wine tastings on a Friday evening.  The cost of the tasting was $15 for 6 wines.  You can also opt for a $10 for 4 tastes option.  They also have a buffet of hot and cold appetizers that anyone can enjoy.  They are hidden in plain sight on plum street- look for the red door.  They have very limited hours, so check their website before heading that way.  

I have mixed feelings about this tasting.  The food was good and helped to make the relatively expensive tasting worth the money.  But, service was slow, especially since at the time we went it was pretty empty.  

So decision up to you... I will probably try it one more time before making a full decision myself.

1st time at this venue.

They have wine tastings every Thursday & Friday evening & the location is available for private tastings.  The price is $10 for 4 wines an additional $5 for 2 higher tier wines.  I think the price was a little high but the ambiance, wine, & food were great.

The wine on the tasting menu was all good & I even purchased a bottle of one of the wines on the higher tier list.  Their complimentary gourmet hors d'oeuvres were very tasty.

I hate to give Plum Court such a good rating.  Not because they don't deserve it, which they do, but Plum Court is barely one of those little well-kept secrets.  And the more people that find out about it, the harder it will be for me to go in there and get a seat!  Nevertheless, I am a giving, selfless person, so I will share the delight that is Plum Court Wine Room with all of you.

The space is cozy, i.e., small, in a rehabbed old building at the corner of Plum and Court streets downtown.  The proprietors are a friendly couple who run the Wine Room as a labor of love.  Currently, Plum Court is only open for Friday night wine tastings, or special events.  On Fridays, you get four wines for $10 plus an array of cheeses, dips, and finger foods.  Naturally, the wine offerings vary each week, but I have never tasted a bad wine here.  You can also purchase wine by the glass if you just want to drink your favorite.

They also have a good retail selection and the prices are reasonable.  The downside to Plum Court is the limited hours and limited space.
