Tastings -
a wine experience
We present over 120 exceptional wines by the taste by the glass, or by the bottle. Our method is in large part self-service. The use of wine cards adds to the adventure.
We create a fun but educational twist to our shop. At every tasting station, each wine has a brief description indicating the winery, varietals, vintage and aromas and flavors that particular wine maker feels you should look for.
As you find wines that you particularly enjoy, we recommend you get a glass, sit down and read more about the wine, winery and wine maker in our Tastings wine selection books.
An experience should be an interesting or remarkable event. We think wine is fun. It is our intent to create an place where wine lovers and enthusiasts can discover new levels of wine experience in a pleasing, adventurous, educational but non intimidating environment.

What Makes Tastings So Unique?
Our method is in large part self-service where the consumer can use computerized wine cards to sample all wines.
This self service method while fun for the consumer significantly reduces labor costs. The experience is further enhanced with our customized point of sale information cards that hint at the wine taste profile and the extensive information pages in our Wine Books.

Not just another wine bar !
Our staff is always available to assist in wine selection, or to provide information about our wine offerings. Much of the fun of our store is engaging our wine experts in discussion of their wines. It is part of the wine experience.
The experience goes way beyond the surface with a relaxing wine bar, tasting stations, private lockers, retail bottle sales and a private room for special events and private functions.
In addition to wines we offer an array of specialty cheese, focaccia and flatbread pizza that will compliment your wine samples. Our bar offers Champagne and Sparkling Wines by the glass, bottle and flights, beer, port, dessert wines and desserts.

Exclusive Leanne Laine Art Gallery Collections
In developing the concept of our wine store, we had the premise that wine is fun. We were determined to make a visual statement that would accentuate that feeling the moment you walk through the door. We have accomplished this with Leanne Laine's captivating wine art.
She creates a magical world of wines that are so impressive, so distinctive, that you know it is a Leanne Laine. Straying from the norm of the traditional bottle accompanied by a cluster of grapes, the majority of Laine's paintings display wine in a unique, fun and sensual way that not only entices the taste buds, but also stimulates the eye with vibrant colors, texture and images. An art collection that is distinct, alluring and strives to seduce the palate.

We are all about Wine.
We are friends and wine enthusiasts who have developed a unique establishment using high technology as a delivery system for sampling wine.
After years of research and planning, Tastings brings you the exciting trend of self-service wine tasting that allows an individual or group to wander about sampling our magnificent wines.
Our wine specialist and management team collaborate to offer one of the largest selections of wine by the glass available.
The selection of wines includes highly rated wines, notable wines and wines of distinction. (This does not always correlate with best selling or most advertised wines.) We feel it is important to taste a wine before you buy, whether it's a $10 bottle or $150 bottle. At Tastings you can taste them all. |
