Don't be fooled by the garish decor at the restaurant, the selection of wines is impressive. As Alley Light was packed Saturday night, I decided to check out the local wine bar instead and made the right call! It's not a fancy wine bar with different flights to choose from with cheese or chocolate pairings. There's plenty of food on the menu though. Although you can order a glass of wine, I recommend shopping around the store and picking out a bottle! There are at least 300 bottles to choose from ranging from local wines to Europe. We enjoyed a glass of red wine and port. The owner, white bearded man, is a wine connoisseur as he's been selling wine for 44 years. He kindly helped us pick out a sweet bottle of dessert wine, which we brought home and thoroughly enjoyed. Although I had a fun experience, I think the restaurant needs a makeover with updated furniture and a streamlined menu for small food pairings. Tastings has a lot of potential to deliver a full throttle experience.

If you're a young woman, don't go in here alone. I love wine, and have no qualms about spending a lot of money for a decent bottle, and while I won't be taking my sommelier test anytime soon, I know enough to know when I'm being talked down to and condescended for no reason besides my appearance. Hardly got the chance to ask about the specific vintage by my favorite producer that I was after before being patronized by the owner. My discomfort was only magnified by the boy's club of old men sitting at the bar who stared at me as I browsed through the shop on my own, having been deemed unworthy of Bill's attention. If you must buy wine in Charlottesville, try Market Street Wine Shop just across the street. They didn't have the wine I was looking for either, but the employees were helpful, polite, and treated me like a human who might be vaguely sentient :) I bought four bottles from them.

Tastings has a varied menu and it's always very good. Tonight we had the smoked trout appetizer. The trout was done just right and accompanied with golden (yellow?) beets. Excellent! Main courses were Seafood Louis and Scallops. Both were scrunptious. We had the Chardonnay wine flight which went well with the seafood. Service as always was excellent.
