Uncorkt

Attending a wedding upstairs at Uncorkt.  The service was really nice and the room was decorated beautifully.  A sampling of wines was served which I found to be nice because I could try different ones without having to purchase several glasses.

Downstairs in the main area is a cute little store that sells all types of wines, beers and anything wine related.  Nice gifts and nick knacks too.  I do not live near but was glad to be able to check it out.  Would recommend for an event.

Wonderful atmosphere, tons of choices.  There is wine tasting daily 6 wines usually 3 white & 3 reds for only $7.00 and if you purchase any of the wines from the tasting you also get a discount that day.   All the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and make the experience fun.  I love this place!

Overpriced, snotty/snobby staff.  They think that they know something about wine, but they only know what they are told and they parrot that back to you, or they pimp the wines that are obviously on special or that a rep told them to sell.  

I used to live in The Bay Area of California and I would go to wine country once a month, so I got to know the wineries therein, coming home and having my sister tell me about this place, I thought that I would go get my mum a nice bottle of wine.  Looking for a few wineries I knew, not only were prices DOUBLED, but when I asked about a few wines, I was told that those were not good wines and steered towards lesser wines at a similar price point.  Needless to say, the staff was pimping those because they DIDN'T know and were selling towards profit and not taste.

I'd go to Piggly Wiggly for wine before ever setting foot inside here again.  Thank god I live in CA and can just run around the Central Coast and Santa Ynez Valley and get my wines there.
