So I go tonight to use the card, and they've stopped doing wine tastings there and no longer serve food. I asked if I could cash it in or use it at one of their other properties, and the answer was no to both. So don't ever buy a gift card from them unless you make it clear it can only be used at the specific property you bought it from. Why wouldn't they honor it at their other properties? Just very frustrating.

I came here for a champagne tasting and brunch event I saw on EventBrite.

We were greeted when we entered and were given some instructions but I must admit, I was a little lost. I was told there was some outside seating (all of the tables/chairs were taken inside) so since this was my first time visiting, I wish there were signs or maybe the hostess could have showed us specifically where to go because oops, I accidentally opened a door that appeared to be an office. Someone saw us and we probably looked lost to them and so they were nice enough to show us the outside area which had a singer who sung some Frank Sinatra songs. He was very talented and appealed to the audience. To our surprise, we saw behind us a table for the tastings. I asked the server for a champagne card so I could take notes and view the prices, but she said when we entered, we should have received one. So I went back to the front and asked the people at the door for the champagne card and they stated that they were printing them, and that they will hand them out a little later. Also I wondered about my brunch that was paid for separately and they said they will come and find me when it was ready. I am glad that we were able to find a table because now I am wondering if we couldn't, how would we have eaten our food. In my opinion, tables should have been reserved for customers who ordered food. Also I wasn't sure how they were keeping up with which customer showed up first because we weren't given a number or anything to show that we ordered food and what our number in line was. At first glance, they seemed unorganized. But as the time progressed they did eventually bring out the champagne cards and they apologized for the lateness of us receiving our food. As the event was coming to an end, one of the workers gave us info on future wine tastings and when they have a live band. All in all, we enjoyed the experience despite it seeming to be unorganized at times, but will definitely come back and visit soon. P.S. The champagne was great! Even bought a bottle. Also the brunch tray was delicious. Hats off to the chef! That whipped goat cheese with orange marmalade was amazing!

It is really on Spring street just prior to Jefferson. The experience starts with the service and atmosphere. Top notch'. Came in solo and they had options inside, bar, window or wine bar. I asked what they recommended and she said the wine bar. Denise is the host de jour in the wine bar. Perfect she was great and 70's classic light rock. So cool. Check out the pics. Great place to chill drink some wine. Even cooler on a date for a nice quiet time relaxing. Denise really knew the menu and chefs. I went with the canadian bakin baguette and farmers market plate with chicken. The baguette was warmed nicely and the garlic spice butter was really good. The farmers market plate was a great surprise. All the veggies melded together perfectly. The flavor profiles with tomatoes, watermelon radish, asparagus, brocolini.... was awesome. Add in a little salty spice with sweet potato mash at the bottom. Dayum great dish. I did get the chicken with the dish. Totally not needed, the veggies carried the day. Minor feedback for the chicken would be a char on the chicken to go with the dish. I forgot about the duck fat fries and ordered them. Almost perfect. They came out piping hot with great flavor. The curry catchup and garlic aioli were great. Minor feedback is the fries did not appear twice fried. They were good but that would be the additional touch. I will count the fries as dessert. They were delicious, definitely a shareable side, I did my best on my solo date. Service continued to be amazing. Denise replaced my water bottle not because it was empty but because she thought it may be warm. Great experience, great food, great atmosphere. Definitely recommend for party or date to relax. Thanks Domaine South. Another 5* for Huntsville.

Nah, nah, start over. G. Todd meets you at the door because he meets EVERYBODY at the door with a smile. He's just that kind of guy. And that wine you got at Costco and you bought it because it had a big wine expert rating?

His beer selection rotates through a bunch of foreign beers (nice Belgians last visit), domestic micros and a passel of locals and near-locals. His wine and beer tastings after work are fun, with friendly regulars and libations served by really helpful and knowledgeable people.

Cheeses are also pretty good in variety and types, and they'll often have some cheeses and crackers available for tastings. If not, the staff is pretty knowledgeable on what they have to offer, so they can make great suggestions for wine and food pairings that meet your tastes and budget. One of the best perks about this place, in addition to the free tasting they'll often have, is that you can take out a basket (with deposit) and purple solos cups for an afternoon picnic.

The bartender that made my drink was amazing. She was friendly and put on a full production when making my drink. I knew it was a serious legit cigar bar and lounge when I saw the various amounts of bitters and bar accessories present. The drink was amazing. The interior is a great place for taking trendy pictures. They also have outside seating which helped the flow of people coming in and out. When I am back in Huntsville I will definitely make plans to go back to SiP.
