Taste Wine Co is awesome! They are not your average wine shop, their high tech wine tasting experience allows you to sample wines before you buy them. 7 out of 10 times I don't like the flavor profiles of wines recommended by others so Taste Wine Co is definitely my kinda place. The sample is a pretty nice pour so you are bound to leave the shop extra happy. I just hope they expand to a bigger place or rotate the wine regularly so that I can continue to discover new wines each time I go.
Love, love, love this place. So high tech and tailored exactly to your tastes, which is exactly what young people need who don't know a TON about wine. I often go into a wine store, know my budget, and pick one with a pretty label, my only other determinate being if I'm in the mood for white or red. I don't know what a "smoky tannin" is or how an "aroma of peaches" can be present in something that's only made with grapes. But I love wine, and love finding new wines to enjoy! This place is great because it lets you taste 6 samples every time you walk in, so you know exactly what you're getting and you know it will be great at the time of purchase. I'll never need to bring a bottle to a dinner party again and be nervous that no one will think my choice was good! The price range of wines is great, for any budget. Bottles range from $10-$40. The employees at Taste are also really knowledgeable and friendly to answer questions and help you choose. I hope this idea really catches on an high tech tasting rooms pop up all over the city and country.
My dad recommended this place to me after he saw an article in the New York Times (or WSJ? I can't remember SOS! Jk you probably don't care). It just so happens to be right next to #brians apartment so that's pretty neat. We went for the first time this past Saturday, and have already returned.
It's such a simple concept, but just hasn't been executed before. They have a huge selection of wines that are in machines that automatically pour out a tasting size of each of the wines. You are allowed to try up to 6 different wines per visit. #brian and I made the most out of both of our visits and tried 6 wines each. We both left feeling slightly tipsy so that was neat.
I really don't see why we would go to any other place at this point, especially given #brians proximity to the place. The prices are completely reasonable and comparable to other places in the area. If you don't have time to try the wine, you can still just do it the old school way and grab one. The neat part about this, however, is that they have an app so you can keep track of all of the wines that you try so if you are in a rush, you can just refresh your memory with wines you enjoyed at a previous visit. The app also tells you food pairings to accompany your choice.
They also have a back room area that can host a small group for events, so that would be great to look into as well.
This place is an up and coming joint, and I truly want it to succeed because it makes perfect sense. I have lost track of the number of times that I have opened a bottle of wine and basically had to hold my nose to get it down so it's nice to know that I can avoid gambling while I'm not in Vegas.
I'm normally immediately skeptical about a place without any unfavorable reviews (you can't please everyone, can you?). But there is very little not to like about this place.
The app is easy to use and lets you sample up to six wines per day. The wines are about 11-30 dollars I would say, with most being around 15 or so. (that was a complete estimation based on my brief view).
It seems like a good alternative to buying wine because there was a beach ball on the label.
This place is so cool! Using their nifty little app, you can come in here and sample a wide variety of wines. All you have to do is download the app on your phone and use it to scan whichever wine you want to taste. The app operates on a point system, where the more points you have, the more tastings you get by trading those points in. You get points simply by downloading the app, taking quizzes, writing reviews of wines you tried, and even checking in on Yelp. It's a cool system not only to streamline the process of tasting but also is a great way for you to keep track of which wines you enjoyed in the actual app itself. I especially liked many of their cabernet sauvignons.
Awesome place and great concept: love the app and try before you buy option! Amazingly friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.
This is a very very interesting wine store that houses a ton of tech that helps you not only choose the wine you want to buy, but helps you by letting you take samples…AND LOTS OF SAMPLES!!
Ok everything is run off their TaseWineCo app – which allows you to taste up to 6 wines, take surveys to determine what wine you might like, keep a record of wine purchases etc. It's quite nice. But with this app in the store, you can use it to scan a QR code next to each bottle set up to try that wine.
Let's say you're looking for a white and you're standing in front of 5 or 6 whites. But you don't know which one to get. So you now have a chance to taste each one and figure out – ohhh i like that one over there, instead of the one with the crushed bear on the label.
This is where the store shines and i'll be back to not just try wines, but buy wine. They have a lot of different prices from 10 i think i saw to all the way to 35 or 40, but on average the prices were 14-18. Go Check it out!
