The Winery At Olney

I really wanted to like this winery.  I just couldn't.  I can forgive a winery for not having any wines that I enjoy (they all seemed to taste very acidic and a lot of minerals).  But I can't forgive for the person pouring the wines not giving information about where they get their grapes, what their whole "make your own wine" thing is, or just providing some general information about the winery.  We told her we hadn't been there before and we got nada.  Super sad!  Oh well....at least there are plenty of other wineries to go enjoy in the area.

Indoor "winery" in the middle of a shopping center with Harris Teeter and Subway.

Basically a wine bar where you can purchase bottles. Probably would not go out of my way to come back here.

One spacious room with a square bar in the center. It was nice doing the tasting, but I was surprised they used the same cup for the "tasting," and barely rinsed it out unless we were switching from red to white. At other wine bars, they gave me separate glasses for each wine.

I was not impressed with the cheese plate, probably the saddest cheese plate I've had. The presentation didn't look great. I could have probably done a better cheese plate at home.

I think they had free finger food catered by some restaurant next door, but all was left was some salsa. They didn't even bother to clean out the empty trays at the end of the night.

We happen to be sitting in between two really drunk men who were completely out of it (came separately) and the bar chairs were a little two close to each other so that made us a bit uncomfortable. Most of the clientele were professionals 30s/40s, and then a sprinkle of older men.

Came here last night on date. The wine and the service were amazing! Our waitress was so helpful and friendly. She even recommended that we buy their Groupon on my phone. We did and we had a discount on the tasting, $10 off a bottle, and 2 free glasses. Ended up walking out with 4 bottles of wine (and a good buzz). You can bring in your own food and I was allowed to use my electronic cigarette inside. Huge fan of their Peach Chardonnay, Green Apple Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Everything  we tried was pretty tasty though. I can't wait to come back here again.
