We used Domenico's Cask Room…read moreand divided the space with draping to divide the cocktail and appetizer hour from the larger sit down dinner/dancing area. I rented amber uplights to illuminate the surrounding space and the Cask Room looked great! It worked beautifully with my wine/gold/black theme. The appetizers were delicious. Guests chose from four dinner entree options and all reviews of the food were positive. My braised short rib entree was tender and tasty. I also opted for the late night sundae bar which was a hit with our attendees. The administrative and wait staff were courteous and on schedule. The ONLY thing I would suggest is filling the specialty cocktails (which cost more) to the rim. I did receive feedback from guests regarding that. I would not hesitate to book another event at Domenicos.

This is our go-to local winery for Friday happy hours and weekend lunches, and they really delivered for our special event. The wine, food, and charcuterie board were all excellent--and the salmon, as always, was spot on! Phil was a pleasure to work with and made curating the menu super easy and flexible. The day of the event brought unexpected gale level winds, but the team was well-prepared. They gave us a heads-up the day before & told us that they were prepared to move indoors in the morning depending on the severity. Morning of the event they swiftly moved everything indoors--right alongside their stunning supercar collection.

The wine is great, the vibes are awesome. And oh don't forget, I felt like this was such an affordable spot (compared to the high prices in the Napa Valley!) Can't wait to be back!

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to give this place three or four stars, but since overall I…read morehad a good time, I'm rounding up. My fiance and I came here with a deal from Living Social for a "wine making experience." The deal was a bit on the pricier side ($120), but it also came with six bottles of wine. Throughout the night we were able to taste about seven different wines and were also given several cheese pairings and a brownie, all of which were pretty delicious. Part of the deal was also to bottle our own wine to take home. Fun! The only real downsides were that I was expecting it to be more like a class, which it wasn't at all. We had a quick intro to the facility and short tour, then bottled our own wine, which only took a few minutes. While I wasn't expecting to go out and harvest and ferment our own grapes, since it was called "wine making," I thought there'd be a little more to it. I also couldn't help but think of what a clever advertisement the deal was for the facility, which was smart on their part, but also evident throughout the night as we learned about the actual wine making club and were reminded many times that cases of wine were available for purchase. Either way, any event that involves wine and cheese makes me happy, so I'd say it was a success.

We've been making wine at Bacchus since 2004. We just love it. It is great wine at a great price,…read moreand we love being part of the process and having a healthy stash of our own wine with our own label. Dom and Gloria and the rest of the crew are just terrific, and have become like family to us. We typically get the Napa Cab grapes and opt for blending just before bottling. That means, we crush straight cabernet sauvignon, and let that mature for almost two years. About a month before bottling we'll sit down with the winemaker and experiment. With small volumes we'll play around with adding 10% sangiovese or 3% petit verdot, or a dose of montepulciano, or whatever seems to fit. Sometimes we go with an addition, sometimes we just let the cab speak for itself. It is a very rewarding way to enjoy wine. And as I wrote in the Domenico review, their facility is terrific for holding events.

You've probably seen Blade Gin or Rusty Blade Gin around the Bay. These two gins (and more) are…read moreproduced by Old World Spirits which operates out of a garage in an industrial park in Belmont. Don't judge just because it's an industrial park, this place is a tight, efficient operation and makes great use of it's space. It's got a huge copper still that makes everything from gin to rye whiskey to brandies to absinthe. On Friday nights you can get a tour and tasting for $15. Because of California law, spirits cannot be sold at the distillery, except wine/grape based brandies. The Blade gin is a citrusy gin with a lot of complexity but not much strong juniper flavor that turns most people off. The Rusty Blade is the same Blade gin that is aged in barrels which brings out more cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. It's very much a winter spirit in my opinion. The pear eau de vie brandy really packs a punch with a lot of great pear flavor and though I'm not really a fan of eau de vies this one is a great one. Also, make sure you try the walnut liqueur, based on a Croatian family recipe, for something different. Finally, yes, absinthe, real absinthe, is now legal in the US and you can taste La Sorcière here. It's a great traditional absinthe with a lot of anise flavor. The distiller who gave us the tour and the tasting was really nice and knowledgable. It was a great experience and I encourage everyone to visit once.

Can you imagine showing up, pumped about your friend's bachelor party, and then the shitty feeling that follows because this place was too unprofessional to get their shit together? My friend contacted the manager Davorion, who at first was accommodating and offered us a free tasting to make up for their mistake. Told us they had us down for Saturday, not Friday. Then suddenly he got back to her a few days later, said that she had never paid and there was no confirmation. Funny, then why did they have us down for Saturday if they had no confirmation. My friend sent him a screenshot of THEIR confirmation email for the Friday appointment, so he went back to saying he'd give us a free tasting. Well, it's been weeks now and he won't respond to our emails to set up the appointment. Lousy customer service, they don't deserve anyone's business.
