Great wine tasting!…read more I had wanted to go to Barrista, but they were closed for a private event. I came here instead and I was not disappointed! For 20 dollars, you can get a really thorough tasting of the wines they have to offer. I loved the 100% Merlot and the Cab Sauv. The server was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. You can sit inside or outside so it's really nifty. I also enjoyed the inside because they'll showcase local artists. Loved this Macau painting, but was sad they didn't have a print of it.

On a beautiful fall evening, the deck of Maryhill was the perfect place to spend an evening…read moreenjoying wonderful wine and food. I got a mini flight of whites: Pinot Gris, Winemaker's White Blend, Chenin Blanc, and the Rosé, for $20. I especially liked the first two (bought a bottle of each). You can also get a full flight of 7 (pre-selected) for $30. My husband and I decided to share the Steak Bites (but swapped the Blue Cheese crumbles for Goat cheese) and they were tender and flavorful, and also a gluten-free Chicken Bacon Ranch flatbread that was delicious! We love how dog-friendly the deck is. Initially the service was on the slow side but it improved as time went on. My only complaint is that the upcharge for gluten-free adjustments is higher than is typical.

I've been meaning to write this review for over a year. I visited Barrister when I took a trip out to Spokane, the scenery was exquisite and the wine wasn't bad either ;) We spent the better part of a day enjoying food and wine parings, the staff was well versed and taught my friend and I a ton. I definitely plan to return. read more
