I enjoyed a weekend day outing here. Was in the mood for a winery but didn't feel like driving far,…read moreso we opted for a local wine room. Friendly service. Enjoyed the wine flight options and the tasting experience and info about wine. Feels clean, bright, and new, and the bathroom is nice. There's a room in back they activate for events. There was a small vendor sale in there. They also have cute merch, jewelry, and goods for sale. They're on the higher price end. They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.

There is tons of outdoor seating - which was awesome as well as games and other activities to do outside We then went into the restaurant and were seated outside for dinner. Service was a little slower but it was super busy inside - so understandable. Absolutely get the large soft pretzel with caramel. What a genius idea and we were All floored at how good it was. We each got a different pizza (fig, pesto, hot honey) and a salad. 2 were ordered gluten free but they made all 3 gluten free - so I cannot speak to how the regular crust is unfortunately which I was looking forward too. The flavors were all great and would order all again.

They have both a liquor store and a deli on location. I usually start with a walk through the…read moreliquor store where they have a nice selection of wine and beer. As well as a nice mix of whiskey with a few harder to find bourbons from time to time. I then move to their deli where they have a nice mix of meat and cheese. There is also a small seating area around the back of the deli where you can eat and enjoy a glass of wine on location. The staff here is wonderful as they seem happy to help and are knowledgeable about the products sold.

I love this place. The wine and spirits side is open and airy with a comfortable feel. The staff is…read morepretty knowledgeable about just about anything, and I have never been steered wrong in a recommendation when I could not make up my mind. My favorite side is the cheese/deli side. I enjoy Surdyk's, but they seem to have cut back on their product offerings, so I have been coming down here to France 44. They have a wonderfully curated selection of cheese of all varieties. You want soft cheese. If you are unsure of a cheese you might be interested in, the cheesemongers will certainly provide you with a description, and even allow you to sample before you buy. To complement your cheese, there is a nice array of cured meats, crackers, olives, etc to add to the cheese-eating experience. One thing I would add is that this establishment is not unlike shopping at Target. You enter to pick up one or two items, and you leave with much more than you intended.

Twin Cities wine Education is a thriving business teaching experts and novices alike all about wine…read morefrom the basics to advanced. Jason Kallsen, the owner and principal instructor leads highly informative and engaging classes throughout the twin cities. My wife and I have taken dozens of his classes over the years from wines of specific regions, (Spain, Bordeaux, Tuscany etc.), specific styles, (Rose masterclass) specific vineyards, and more. Despite our great understanding of wine, there's always more to learn and Jason, and his team always provide great insights, travel ideas and buying tips. We typically take his classes in the basement of North Loop Wine & Spirits and as a bonus, you get 20% off all your shopping in the store the night of the class. Anyone with even a passing interest will enjoy these classes as Jason's style if very light-hearted, informative and entertaining. Classes range in price depending on the material and are usually 2 hours in length. They are offered several nights a week. Once you take your first class with Jason, you can be sure you will take another. HIGHLY recommended.

Over the last couple of years, I have visited Surdyk's less and less (but probably won't stop until…read morethey no longer carry the one wine only they seem to have). Compared with the other two wine stores I frequent (one big box and one independent, both in uptown), it's so much less friendly and the "consultants" seem less knowledgeable than me. The other day, I asked two ostensibly "wine consultants" about the difference between two producers of red Burgundy (at about the same price point), and neither knew. So I didn't buy either (but went uptown to another place where the consultant easily explained between two producers and then suggested an altogether different one, based on my preferences). Today, I did a pickup of my favorite plus some beer, went into the store, and the tall blonde woman was downright abrupt. Really, do better.
