$$$$ • Winery • Northeast Minneapolis
Wow! What a place! My wife and I arrived for our 6:30 PM reservation on a Friday night and felt like the last ones to arrive at the party! The place was packed! Very lively and pretty festive. We'd looked at the menu prior to our arrival and pretty much knew what we were going to do from a beverage standpoint. I was determined to find the 97 point wine -- the Washington Cabernet or the Bordeaux -- in that little competition. (I was right, too!) We then started with the pesto burrata and the meatballs -- both of which were excellent. From there, I moved on to the Drops of God wine comparison -- this one not technically a competition because of the different-sized pours. Again, both wines were excellent. We then ordered the portabella flatbread -- out of this world. We witnessed a marriage proposal (she said "Yes!"), had a chance to chat up Timothy, the Sommelier (a delight!), and even tried a bonus Italian Sauvignon Blanc. If we didn't live in Arizona, we might be here every week. That said, it's now permanently "on our list" when we come to visit friends and family in Minneapolis!
