To our surprise, when we walked in, it was more of a mead tasting bar--and, by the way, they also sell honey. It just so happens that my husband and I love tastings, and mead was new to us. Casaundra took us on a mead journey through the entire menu, from dry to sweet to distilled spirits and even a coffee blend! It costs around $21 to try the entire menu, totally worth it! I did the $10 option and my husband went through them all. We had a blast and went home with some mead and tons of honey. Thank you Casaundra. You're the best!! We had blast.

I came for honey, what I got was a viking bar stacked with mead! This place is awesome. Very laid back mead tasting bar. I got to sample the whole menu for around $21-22. There's dry, sweet, coffee, and a number of harder spirits too, all made from honey! They make it in house and are a huge, successful distributor. Casaundra took us on an excellent mead adventure. So much fun, thank you! We ended it by taking home lots of honey and a few bottles of mead. Skål!

The atmosphere was a lot of fun amd very raucous. It's a great venue for a medium or small group to have some wine and a good time. The service was a little slow, though, and it took a little longer than it should have to order a glass of wine and pay.

Over a course of 90 mins or so, he brought out 15 different wines and gave us a background story, food pairings and price consideration for each of them. They don't have food onsite. So, we took our own snacks and the business allows it. Richard is very knowledgeable and has been running this store for over 2 decades. A senior citizen dedicated to his craft. The wine tasting experience was $25 and there is a courtesy purchase of 1 bottle. But the wines were so amazing, we ended up buying way more. In fact, I returned to the store just a week later to buy more bottles of champagne for a party I was hosting later that week. The area also has a huge free parking lot which is a big deal in Wilton.

We ended up grabbing a bottle for the table, and it was the perfect companion throughout the meal. We kicked things off with bread service. I went with the classic pretzel bread while my wife opted for the gluten-free version, and both were a great start. For our mains, I ordered the Cilantro Ranch Chicken Sandwich -- Tillamook Cheddar, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Smashed Avocado, Cilantro Ranch, and Seasoned Mayo -- but asked to swap the chicken for grilled mahi. The kitchen handled the substitution without a hitch, and it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered from the gluten-free menu and had the Soy Ginger Atlantic Salmon with Wasabi-Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Asian Slaw, which she raved about. What really stood out was how well Cooper's Hawk accommodates dietary needs without making it feel like an afterthought. The gluten-free options were just as thoughtful and flavorful as everything else on the menu. Great food, great wine, great atmosphere -- we'll definitely be back!

If you've ever gone to one those wine tastings as conducted by certified sommeliers, you soon learn…read morehow complicated and expensive wines can become. Like I mean in $80 plus a bottle and being told that the wine I'm tasting has a nose of blackberry with undertone hints of peach; none of which I have ever been able to truly discern. So it was a joy for me to stop by The Simple Wine shop where I was given the opportunity to try several not to be found elsewhere wines and also to purchase a couple of bottles for myself. The Simple Wine had wines I've never seen before and a few I've never even heard of previously. So, I became completely fascinated in trying these new flavors and tastes as well as some that were familiar. The selection of Italian wines was amazing as they mostly came from small craft vineyards as in the type that would only supply a few select restaurants, but because of their limited capacity, not something like the big box wine chains such as Total Wines. Having spent considerable time in in the smaller country like regions of Italy, I quickly learned that I never had to purchase a bottle of wine as any restaurant house wines were the equal if not superior to any I'd find in a retail bottle. The secret behind it was that these restaurants were supplied by the small craft like vineyards. So finding out that I can now obtain these regional Italian wines from smaller craft vineyards is a real delight and a big money saver too as most of his prices seemed to have run between $15 to $25 dollars.

Let him know what you want and he will chose something wonderful curated to your taste. I highly recommend!

As a fan of fruity alcoholic beverages I have always been curious about Brewlihan Mead. I only…read morepreviously had mead at the Renaissance Fair. I finally got the chance to check them out one afternoon when I was in the area. Brewlihan Mead is a 1,700-square-foot mead house and tasting room owned by John and Stacey Hoolihan. John had a background in science education and started out brewing as a hobby. What turned into a passion became a business. Brewlihan Mead is the first commercial meadery in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Mead, sometimes called honey wine is an alcoholic beverage made from three ingredients: fermented honey, water and yeast. It is the first alcoholic beverage consumed by mankind and is believed to predate wine by nearly three thousand years. Since the taste of honey can vary by region, mead can have a diverse and complex flavor profile. To make the mead at Brewlihan, the water, yeast and honey is placed in fermentation tanks with fruit and then aged in oak barrels for 2 to 5 months. You can take your mead to go in cans or they have a nice bar inside the tap room where you can enjoy your drink. I took my mead home and while I enjoyed all of it, my favorite was Winter in So Fla which truly evoked the tropical feel of a winter in Florida. Mead is a great alone or as a pairing to a meal. If you are a mead enthusiast they have memberships for $300 with a host of benefits listed on their website. Whether a casual or refined drinker of mead, you are sure to find something unique and delicious here. John and Stacy are so warm and friendly and this is the kind of science I really enjoy.
