Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "umm no they do tastings now.. yeah i was there last saturday and they were doing tastings.. and they do tasting alot during the summer." Really?? That's great to hear. When I was there in September of 2008 we were told that it was wine by the glass only.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Oh no ..i’ve seen tastings goin on.. maybe just for that month they didn’t offer it or it’s just seasonal.. but yeah I saw people doing tastings not to long ago. They offered port with blue cheese tasting etc..
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Maybe it’s seasonal..maybe on the off times they don’t do it..or maybe just peak times they do.. who knows..but yeah they do still do tastings..
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt Are you talking about the outdoor bar area adjacent to the patio? Just checking because I never go inside and thought maybe the tastings are conducted in there.
Originally Posted By Ohana you're right, i did tasting on the patio by Blue Sky Cellar this summer. i will try that cheese platter, thanks for the tip. And as for your comment about "it will be expensive" No worries, we are used to spending a house payment on our trips to Disney. LOL
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA The wine bar..come on hans.. u know where it is.. near the blue sky cellar….not the bar ariels grotto aka cove bar Yeah ohana. Like with a “glass” of wine and then cheese platter it’s like almost 21 dollars..depending on the wine you get! And two wines and a cheese platter is super expensive.. so just letting you know ahead of time so your not shocked and have a heart attack right in line . I know what you mean with the spending.. I always spend my paycheck and then some!! It’s like I’m going to Disneyland, I need to bring money—lots of it!
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Yeah like I said before I think they may be seasonal. Like with summer, the food and wine festival etc… when it’s peak time. so keep a look out ya’ll.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA That is the one thing I like about the wine bar. If your not sure of a wine, and want to taste it without having to buy it..they will give u a small taste.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Ok so I took a photo of the wine tasting sign. With all the options..yes they were doing them, on Saturday they were .i sent the pic to lp live..it was packed Saturday at the wine bar.
