    The food was absolutely wonderful…the rockfish was perfect. We were in the covered patio area and it was completely wet floor…seems the owners could keep the water out of there. Also, the over heat was miserably hot because it is directly pointed at the tables in the middle. I would recommend not being seat out there during cold or rain.

    What an amazing place to unwind, eat amazing food and, of course, enjoy an extensive selection of wine. As soon as you walk in you are greeted as a friend. Treat yourself to a dealer flight and find a new go to wine. The whisperers will ask you seemingly unrelated questions, such as your favorite color or favorite candy, and craft a wine flight just for you. Enjoy a snack or dinner in the bistro and challenge a whisperer to pick the perfect wine. Josh, Alex, Ingrid or Dylan are up to the challenge and will make your visit memorable. If you have the opportunity sign up for a class with Jenna or Amber. The knowledge of these two on varietals, wine regions around the world, tasting and pairing and anything else related to wine is extensive. Like sparkling wine, attend one of Jenna’s sparkling Sundays. Don’t feel like a glass of wine, enjoy a beer or one of the crafted mixed drinks. The Wine Whisperer is not just a place to have a drink or eat dinner, it is a destination that will keep you coming back again and again.
