Winestore


Have you been to Winestore over near Southpark? If not, you should go, it's like nowhere else. Basically, you can try before you buy everyday. You purchase a rechargable card and pop it into the machines they have around the store, push a button, and your taste dispenses into your glass. The tastes vary in price and depend on the cost of the actual wine. There are also very cheeky sections of wines that will just make you smile. Having a girls night out? There's a section for that. First date? There's a section for that too. The owners are always happy to help you out and are very knowledgeble about wine. On this particular night, they were having a free wine tasting, no card necessary. Now, here's the coolest part of this tasting, the winemaker was there, all the way from South Australia, and he was just a delight. The wines were all delicious, Shiraz', my favorite. And, having the winemaker pour them for me and tell me about his winemaking process was an amazing experience. Awesomeness too, is that he signed my bottle. How cool is that? I'll be saving that bottle for sure.
