The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot.

Rating: 3.1/5 We…read moretried The Austin Winery on two different occasions, and both times their wine was just okay or not good. The first time was a wine flight we had catered at our apartment, while the second time, we visited in person with a group of friends. Honestly, the wines we buy from Costco taste better. We did the $20 wine tasting flight where you get to choose 3 from the menu. The pros are that it's cheap and they give generous pours, but the con is that the wines don't taste good. Thank goodness I shared with my husband because I wouldn't have been able to finish it myself. 1. Picpoul Blanc: One Elm Vineyards - High Plains white wine with notes of lemongrass, pink lemonade, and raspberry. It was okay. 2. Aqua Pazza - High Plains/High Country orange wine with notes of apricot, candied lemon, and orange zest. It tasted like a bitter citrus wine and was our least favorite of the wines we tried. 3. GSM: Salt Lick Vineyards - Hill Country chilled red wine with notes of mint berry crunch and herbal. I think we prefer non-chilled red wine, since the tannins were super muted, but the cold temperature does make it more enjoyable on a hot day. Lavender Haze ($15): This is a wine cocktail made with Ocho, lemon, lavender simple syrup, topped with Rambler, and garnished with a lemon wheel. Ocho is a Salt Lick Vineyards - Hill Country white wine with soft lychee, beeswax, and freshly minted bills. It's a light and bright wine cocktail that's great for an afternoon drink. Bread With Oil & Balsamic Reduction ($6): You definitely need to dip the bread in the balsamic reduction; otherwise, the bread is just so bland by itself. Recommend getting the shareables instead, since the bread doesn't really add anything to the wine tasting. Our friends got the charcuterie, and the meat, cheese, and fig really helped us get through the wine flight.

It's very…read morecute you book it with time and they do like a whole little set up placement for you and your friends so you can try all the types of wines that they have and they give you small little charcuterie boards. It's very nice because the person that you get is very knowledged on the wines and let you know the flavors and the notes and what it's good to be paired with and what it's made with and everything like that. I definitely love their rosé and their Pinot Grigio. This is a perfect girls night. At the end they let you have a glass of your favorite wine and also purchase a box of it with a nice discount.

Each BOXT equals 4 bottles and is compostable. I've tried all the flavors, and #1 is my favorite. It's very light and completely refreshing.  A truly delightful white wine. I'm a hard-core red drinker and BOXT has sold me on A WHITE! Today it was hand-delivered to my home. I received a text the day before with a very specific time (12:43) when my wine would be delivered, +/- 30 minutes.  Crazy! Not 12:45; not 12:40. The driver texted me he was on his way and then I was sent a tracking link. They have deliveries down tight. The delivery driver was friendly and told me about my wine when he handed it over. When I mentioned I can't recall which red I like, he tried to help me figure it out. Talk about service! Also, when asked, told me he really loved his job. I have no doubt! I am sold on this fabulous, Austin-based, woman-owned business.  Please support BOXT!

You have to walk next door to get food. The mimosas were the only thing that qualified as brunch at the "Drag Brunch" but I wasn't too upset about the misnomer.

Loved that they brought up several people from the audience to the stage to compete for a small prize. Many of the participants were brides at their bachelorette party celebrations. #love The ticket included one drink but not brunch food. I got there a bit earlier to grab us some good seats. Biggest issues were they started later than we thought so one of the people in our group had to leave before it was over, there was an epic food truck incident (this was supposed to be a Brunch event) with food running an hour late did not really have brunchy items, and they didn't clearly label on their menu that the cocktails were wine based vs. the traditional alcohol of tequila, gin, etc. The cocktails were fine but if I'd known/recalled/seen a disclaimer I would have been a bit more wary as I have reactions to certain wines and sugars. Thankfully, I had no major reaction but my digestion was a bit off for a bit.

All the wines are made from 100% Texas grown grapes by a Texas native, Randy Hester (from Houston maybe?), who started as an intern at Cakebread Cellars in Napa. You can order by the glass or opt for a tasting. They do a great job catering to your palette and will customize the tasting most of the time. If you're driving to Fredericksburg or Georgetown for your wine membership pick ups, I highly recommend going in for a tasting here. I'd be surprised if you didn't decide to switch. They also have great member events pretty regularly. The atmosphere inside is very relaxed. It's like a little cool oasis (especially during the summer). Really, besides the wine, which speaks for itself, the staff make this place. They're knowledgeable and they all are pretty passionate about the wine. Parking is easy most days and the Yard offers some options for food that you can have brought in to you (or you can grab and bring in) or order a cheese board with your wine. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!
