I have been here 2 times & liked it. I thought the costly tastes were short. I enjoyed the wine & had bought a couple of bottles. I wanted to share one with the bar & they wanted to charge me a corkage fee. Ok, bought the wine there, everyone had their glass already. I thought that was ridiculous, as we had all been spending money like crazy there. I will go back cuz it is close.
Pros: Nice location
Cons: Small pours, difficult layout, bar s/b bigger

What a great time! Went last weekend and had an incredible time. The ambience is of roman decor and very classy. They had great live music when we were there. There were lots of different wines to choose from at the bar and the staff (Brian) was very knowledgable about wines. If your into wine or just looking for a cool trendy place to hangout then I would highly recommend this place. lots of fun...... Go USC!!!
Pros: ambience, music, outdoor seating
Cons: tucked back in the corner (its a "secret")

Not only are the wines that you can taste at the bar really top quality from all regions....but the pricing is reasonable and the owners and staff are a wealth of great information on whatever type or taste of wine you are looking for. I would go there to pick out a great everyday drinking wine or to find something special at a good value for yourself or a perfect gift. And the convenience of your own wine locker is a great addition as well as the "girls night out" , monthly wine club perks and other special events, they really do things with knowledge and class. The live music is a great way to wind down a busy work week or end a great weekend. They take very good care of you, I highly recommend it as the perfect end to anyday!!
Pros: Great gift selections, 1/2 and full glass tastings, great tasting flights, fun music and friendly smiles
Cons: Sometimes it can be too much fun!!! It's a little difficult to find because it's tucked in the corner, thus "secret" cellar!
