The kitchen host did a great job walking us through each recipe, showing us how to cut the veggies, mixing ingredients and cooking everything at the end. The entire evening took about 2.5 hours and we walked home with plenty of leftovers and they emailed us the recipes too. Highly recommend.

My only criticism was that the young girls leading the party were pretty low energy and it was so quiet in there. I think the overall experience would have been better if the gals leading were a bit more engaging with the kids and maybe some music was playing in the background. The pretzel was good though, and my daughter had fun!

After the class, I was shopping in the retail area and found some cute Christmas napkins; I went to purchase them. They didn't ring up, so instead of looking up a price or finding a pack of napkins with a different design, the lady helping me just told me I couldn't buy them. So, thanks for saving me some money, I guess???

I was recently in town for a convention and happened into Cellar Rat the first day in town. While…read morewe were looking for wine and spirits, what we got was so much better! While sipping a taster of a great wine, we asked about restaurant recommendations that were not just BBQ, and Kevin took my information and sent over an extensive list of places all within walking or streetcar distance from Downtown. We were invited to come back later in the week for the Tuesday and/or Friday wine tastings. After gathering some work friends, we decided to attend both of those events, and they did not disappoint! I told everyone I met with about Cellar Rat and their personable staff. We will be back next year!

Cellar Rat was able to procure for us and did so with speed and friendliness. The store is well laid out and I believe they have wine clubs and wine tastings.

The taste was average. I also did not like how one of the waiters came up to us and said something along the lines of "by the way we are closing in 20 minutes." However, it was a fun social thing to do and some of the wines we got were really good.

The cozy, warm ambiance of the place makes it feel like the ideal place to unwind. I started with a wine flight that included a white, Moscato, and a sweet red. While they were a bit on the dry side for my super-sweet wine preferences, they were still enjoyable. The mulled cider, however, was the real star--absolutely delicious! We also ordered some snacks to share: a pepperoni flatbread and a charcuterie board. They arrived fresh and fast, and the server took the time to explain each item on the board, making the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was top-notch and super tasty. What really stood out was the friendly, knowledgeable staff, who made sure we had everything we needed. There's also a big patio that's perfect for summer months, offering a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors with a glass of your favorite drink. Plates and water were readily available for self-service, which was a nice touch. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area--such a great spot with the perfect combination of warmth, good food, and great drinks!

They have the best selection in town and their prices are lower than Walmart or any other liquor store. I'm a fan of the brand in general. We had them in Las Vegas, where we lived for 12 years. If you buy enough booze, you can get into the Grand Reserve Club where you can get access to allocated bottles and other cool perks, such as free classes with distillers and vintners.

As part of a birthday party, we joined some friends at Amigoni for the first stop, and we all loved the ambiance (stunning, calm, lovely staff) so much that we stayed over 3 hours! We sat in the back bar/barrel room area (back bar was closed that day), but it was a great space for a larger group to be able to spread out and not take up all the space in the front bar area. The barrels gave the room a cozy feel! I'm a fan of wine, but a lot of our friends are not huge wine drinkers--so while they have a lot of great wine to taste (I'll get to that soon!), they also have local drafts and non alcoholic options for your friends/family members who aren't into wine or who don't drink. For their wines, when I went on a Saturday they had two wine flight options, which the staff said they change about every two weeks! I got the basic flight to get a better idea of their standard wines, and I wasn't disappointed with any of them--and as others have noted, they are pretty heavy with their tasting pours, just FYI! I was able to try the Urban White Blend (chardonnay and viognier), Cabernet Franc Rose (one of their original makes from the early days), Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and the Select (petit verdot and tannat). All were lovely and delicious! Thanks to everyone at Amigoni Winery who made the birthday celebration special, cozy, and delightful! Can't wait to go back and enjoy more wines next time!

The space was in a pretty quiet street, across from a pretty non-descript office building. I wasn't expecting too much inside but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the interior had much more personality than the outside. The interior had high ceilings, the bar was on the left and before we sidled up to the bar we explored the space. There was an upstairs space that looked down into the lobby and the rear area had a bar and was also nicely decorated. The rear area had a little more people so we decided to go back up front. We decided to do both of the tasting options and share. I enjoyed the limited production tasting better and the reds over the whites. Like with a lot of tastings, the wine club was pushed but since I was only staying one more day I wasn't interested. However, our host did give us a taste of the T10 which I enjoyed so much that I bought a bottle of that. I shared it with some people who know and enjoy wine and they were also pleasantly surprised with it.
