Totally blew me away…read more I moved back to the area almost three years ago, but had not come to WPW. Then recently, I found out that my 50th class reunion was going to be held there. Hearing that news, I knew it was time to come and check it out. When I arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday, I was shocked how large the venue was and how full the parking lot was. I quickly realized, Wild Pickens Winery is a hot spot and the place to be seen on weekends. They have a fairly extensive wine menu, it was larger then what I was expecting. I enjoyed two glasses of Cabernet and was impressed with its robust flavor. When my server told me, all glasses of wine were $7, my frugal personality smiled. To my surprise they had an extensive menu. I was expecting a very simple menu of only a few items, but they had it all. Their menu had entrees, burgers and wood fired pizzas. I had eaten brunch earlier so I wasn't that hungry, but wanted to try something. I ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms and they hit the spot. They were stuffed with spinach, cream cheese and parmesan. The order came with three good sized mushrooms, so it would be perfect for one or sharing. They had a band playing in the main room inside and the music was super loud. Friends that I ran into there, told me in good weather the band is outside and makes for a more enjoyable listening experience. The loud music is why they only got a 4 Star rating. The service was small town, down home country friendly. WPW is only open Thursday thru Sunday and I'll definitely be back. I gotta come back and try one of their wood fired pizzas.

We were immediately greeted by the owner, Todd, who was behind the bar servicing customers. He took the time to thank all of us for coming in and shook each of our hands. Todd, separated us from the dry wine drinkers to the sweet wine drinkers, sharing with us his top recommendations for each category. Unanimously! We all enjoyed the blueberry wine the most. We all literally bought a bottle! LOL. Todd had to leave us for other duties, but left us in the care of his staff. These ladies were great and fun. After our wine tasting, we sat to order food. We ordered the meat lovers and the loaded baked potato pizza and a few side salads to share. Never thought of a baked potato as a pizza, but this was sooo good!! The food in general was delicious, fresh, and made to order. The winery itself was super cute. The outside seating area was packed with folks, rocking out to some live music. The inside seating area was surprisingly very large. A large dining space with a separate event space and video gaming area. Thank you Todd for welcoming us and thanks to your team for helping to make our experience enjoyable. We look forward to visiting you all again!

There's also a patio outside that would be awesome to stop at before or after a baseball game. A nice view of the arch included ! Drinks looked good although we kept it pretty basic on our orders.. it did not break the bank though, it was reasonable and did not take long to get served. It was an awesome spot to hang out for a while with pretty easy street parking. I can imagine if downtown was busy it'd be harder to find street parking but they did have paid lots with attendants so of course that'd be an option too.

I was really excited to find this place, because my husband likes Blues music, and on that Friday night a Blues band called Coldwater Creek was playing. We called another couple that we do things with pretty often and they met us at the bar. It's kind of a dive bar, but in the best possible way. We loved the whole vibe of the place. In terms of food, they only have frozen pizzas, but the pizzas were good. They also have slot machines and pinball. By the time the band started, the place was getting pretty packed, so we were really glad we got there as early as we did. The band was phenomenal. The young front man was absolutely amazing on vocals and he played lead guitar like nobody I've ever seen. It was just a wonderful night all around, and we will definitely be back.
