Whoah. That place is gimmicked out!
QOTD: Hm. At home, Bibo. Tiny little place. Best we have. However, I’m going to give the highest praise to a frumpy little place in Auxey Duresses that sells wines by the glass from local producers. I had a grand cru burgundy by the glass that was well worth the few euros I paid for it.

QOTD…Purple….Seattle

found out today my friend’s big brother is a vayniac with a sweet cellar. small world.

what happened to the CKC play? nerdy is fun but I can only daydream.

qotd – too poor for wine bars.

Really cool place. If I were a little richer, it would be a great place to go. I can’t afford to do much buying at restaurants, though. I usually have inferior wines at 100% markup. So….

QOTD: I’ve never been to a wine bar. Maybe someday, when I’m feeling flush or on my birthday or something.

I love the wine bar shows, pls do more. While I’m making requests, pls do another cheese show – Everett was fantastic!

QOTD-Swing Wine Bar Olympia, WA. love it and you would to.

QOTD: Still, Enotecca Trastevere, Roma, Italia. So really great memories there, it’s going to be hard to beat.

QOTD: Wine Guy Wine Shop in nearby Gahanna, OH

Great show, cool place!
QOTD: Sadly, I don’t have one, don’t know of any in Columbia, SC.

Cool bar…..wow… they are mixing wine drinking and technology together and it is really is awesome.

QOTD:
Not much to choose from and the pricings are off the roof…

My favorite Wine Bar: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cioccolata-di-vino-berkeley

Two reasons:

A) They price from $4 to $60, that allows all friends to come and try something and enjoy.

B) It’s right near campus, and being sumer all the girls are in super shorts. Wine is about the experience, and I dig the experience here…

QOTF: Winestock, in Oregon City, Oregon

QotD: Firefly Bar & Grill in Encinitas, CA

Super-Fab wine bar! I can hardly wait to go next time I’m in NYC! However, what were the kiddy-noises in the background? Maybe some employee’s kids hanging out before opening-time?…

QOTD: Recently went to Cru in north-Dallas (Plano); very nice, good food, too.

QOTD: CJ Wijns at Birch Bay Washington. I bet you have never heard of that one. BTY “Wijns” they tell me is Dutch for wine.

cool little show, bummer about the wine and at $19 I’d be pissed! This is why I almost never do wine bars or even wine at resaurants- the mark-ups piss me off! I’d much rather buy a bottle of something I like for 19 bones and cook for myself or get takeout.

That being said…
Hotel Biron in SF is very cute.

Thanks that was really cool.

What a cool bar. I have seen similar projections in the mall with a game or something on the floor and kids jumping all over em.

It’d be really coll if there was more depth of info into the regions and histories of wines and vines.

The people there seemed very welcoming and into expanding people’s experience with wine.

Kind of strange to me that they don’t have people pouring, obviously when more glasses equals more $ they would benefit from the precise pours from a machine. I have not been in a wine bar with machines (yet) I guess I am behind the times.

I am also behind on a few shows from the last week or so. So it’s time to try another.

GV, I liked the show. Seems like a cool place to go after a show in the city.

QOTD: City Cellar in Westbury, NY: The foods good and the wine is reasonable- They sell half price bottles on Mondays which brings the price down to about retail.

never went to a wine bar, I prefer enjoying at home with my family or sometimes divide a bottle with some homies.. maybe next time in the U.S. I’ll drop by some…

we’re expecting another cheese show, the first one was amazing! but if your father comes to tape with you, better bring extra cheese (and I mean, EXTRA cheese!!) Love you both!

big ups from BRZ!!

Fun use of tech and the “kid in the candy store” credit card system is a great trick to encourage spending more then you meant to 🙂

As a person who as a general rule does not fall for the brand name trap, I agree with you 100% on the get the same experience at half the price issue you discussed. Not sure there is much they can do about it. They can either geek it up and please the niche but reduce sales or aim for the lowest common denominator (oak/fruit-bomb) and sell that much more. The age old business quandary, no?

QOTD: I don’t roll big enough to afford by the glass prices so no wine bars for me. $20 a bottle is my upper limit so 12 bones a glass makes my brain hurt 🙂

The Corkscrew in Rockbrook Village – Omaha,Ne.

Terroirist- aka Mike in Nebraska

Hey Gary, I’d like that same sensation (fruit-bomb mmm) for say $15. Something fun, new world style. Every wine I have had (and it’s only been 3-4) have been not great to my palate. Usually too vegetal. Any recommendation would be great, because searching can be frustrating and expensive!

#100, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaww!!!!!! 🙂

WHOOOOOOOOOOOA, Was that Place Cooool or What????!!!???

qotd: Been to a Zillion Beer-Bars, but NEVER been to a Wine-Bar…..
