After filling up with an excellent complimentary meal we strolled over to this cool little place…read morethat way over to the right of the upper level on the opposite side of Original Oyster House. The name is cool and the sign boasting tropical wines lured us in. I specifically wanted to see if I could find an extraordinary wine that I found last year, somewhere in Mississippi. It was very inexpensive and I recall being intrigued by it at a roadside shop but can't remember where exactly. It was a coconut wine, I know it sounded weird to me too, however it was a delightful light & sweet wine that was super tasty and I want to find it. Sure enough this fun shop has lots of tropical wines, pineapple, mango, orange, apple, peach, pina colada, kiwi and even grapefruit but alas there was no coconut. The gentleman came over and offered to give us some help with his explaination of some of the various vineyards and specifics. Indeed Joe was our tour guide and provided some excellent choices of wine and had quite a few for tasting. While we were browsing we saw a big selection of Purple Toas wines which is a very nice Winery in Paducah, KY that's near our our old sailing home where we raced out sailboats. We did tastings there and really enjoy several of their wines, my favorite is the Black and Bruised and yes Joe's got some and we got some of that to bring home. I also spotted a nice selection of Biltmore wines from another one if my fave wineries in Asheville, NC.i asked for their riesling and yes they have it, so some of that to go. Next it was time to try something new so Joe asked of I like peach, to which I replied "does a bear ...." well I do live me some peach. He faces me a taste of an ice cold peach wine that knocked my socks off, so yes that was out next selection. We tried a couple others before Joe recommended an apple wine that is fermented in old bourbon casks. It was very poignant and reminded me of my sweetheart's favorite single malt scotches soooooo I had to get some of that for her. It's like a fine sipping wine for her, like a nice winter wine is for me :-) They have some other cool stuff in the store like frozen pina coladas made with wine a d sime fun gifts items as well. We racked up some nice selections of favorites and several new ones and now our wine fridge is all filled up. Bottom line: Joe is a very friendly, knowledgeable and fun guy to help you find just the right fun wine for you. I haven't seen this particular variety of fruity wines anywhere else in the area and recommend checking this place out. They do have traditional whites, reds, blancs and blends but the stars are the fruits.

A friend desperately needed to use the bathroom and the woman at the counter was kind enough to show her the way. I don't know if the bathrooms are public or not, but it was very helpful in her time of need. It's the worst when establishments won't let you near the bathrooms, especially if your a mother of a child below the age of 5. Dislikes: It gets 3 stars out of 4 because of price. I stopped in for wine and noticed that all wine bottles are marked about $4 above the grocery store prices in South Carolina. Now, this could be because of taxes but either way... bring your own wine to Alabama.

Apparently it is not important enough to service staff to understand what is like to have someone in your party that has a food allergy. The most important thing, is to have the ability to empathize with your guests, and make their experience a good one. If there is an issue with cross contamination in your kitchen, then create an area in the kitchen solely to address those with food allergy needs. For example, when your customer tells you the sprite has no flavor, you don't just come back and tell them it looks fine to me and everything is hooked up. Try tasting it yourself and at least bring a new cup of it to the table. Don't come back empty handed. Then there was the Crab Cakes. After all of the seafood places I have been to in the southeast I found these crab cakes to be just so so. If you are going to deep fry them, please understand that the crab meat will turn to the consistency of tuna salad and is not pleasant to eat whatsoever. Perhaps skip the breading/deep fry and pan fry them instead? While the breading on the crab cake was crisp and delicious, it was a little off setting to have mushy crab on the inside. Again, this was a beautiful venue with a great view. I am troubled by the lack of attention to detail, especially when it comes to addressing your guests.

Since Alabama still has no lottery this is the closest place we have for the Florida Lottery, Powerball & Mega Millions, etc. They have a wide selection of liquor, beer, and wine with a nice craft beer section, mixers, and libation extras. Of course, the taxes on alcohol in Alabama are higher so there are also some of the best prices in the general area. Bottom line: Flora-Bama Liquor & Lotto has got practically alcohol and more plus a nice RUM selection. My kinda place!
