It was easy to spot from State St/13. For 2:00ish on a Saturday there was a good crowd of people but easy to find a seat.

I probably won't be shopping here again though, as last time I was here, the lady giving samples saw me...put her head down, said nothing, but asked the people after me if they wanted to try some.

Had she asked, I probably would have bought whatever it was she was selling. I realize the is a lot of ignorance in this town I have to get use to. But ask everyone.

Cannon River Winery is a fun local destination if you're looking for a relaxed wine experience…read morewithout making a long drive. It is not actually at their winery but rather their tasting room in the city. The tasting room is spacious and welcoming, and they offer a nice variety of wines ranging from sweeter dessert wines to drier reds and whites. There's something for almost everyone. We also shared a charcuterie board, which paired nicely with the tasting and made for an easy afternoon with friends. The staff was friendly and happy to answer questions. They have a few different tasting options including by the glass, and up to 10 different pours for a more complete experience.

We are so fortunate to have destinations such as the Cannon River Winery here in Minnesota!…read moreWe enjoyed the private tasting experience and were blown away by how much we learned. All four of us in our group had gone to Napa, Sonoma and Italy- and learned more about wine during our visit to the Cannon River Winery than we had at any of our other wine tours or tasting experiences.

We are already planning return trips with other groups of friends.

They stock a nice selection of beer and wine kits, and the misc. equipment that you'll need to make them, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. You'll be hard pressed to find better prices anywhere - online our otherwise. As in all hobbies (okay, obsessions) there is probably be something that you eventually will want that won't be there, but the basics are well covered. Advanced brewers may have difficulty finding the precise grain/hop/yeast combinations for crafting specific beer recipes, but planning ahead should alleviate that problem as the shop is generally happy to order whatever you need. The staff are pleasant helpful, and reasonably knowledgeable about basic brewing/wine making. Beyond that you'll have to do some homework and come armed with (a thirst for - couldn't resist) knowledge.

Elevated helps elevate the liquor, beer, and wine selection that White Bear has to offer…read more Elevated has a great and high quality selection. Personally I love it for their beer selection. They have a build your own six pack area and six packs/cases in the coolers along the walls. Their selection of beers is really top notch. They do a good job of rotating new beers through and having hard to find beers. Their liquor selection is equally as good. My husband is a big bourbon guy and Elevated has a really diverse selection of bourbons. He loves going in and trying something new. The staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly. We have gone to them for help with everything from beer to wine to liquor. They always had a good recommendation and strong knowledge of what the store had. There is also a loyalty program. If you spend so much money in a month the following month you get a % off one purchase. It is a great program, especially if you host a lot of social events or go to a lot of social events. Buying a bottle of wine for a house warming or some bloody Mary fixings for a brunch adds up quickly. Truly top shelf here. 76/100

Planning a family outing, one of my cousins suggested the pizza farm. I was intrigued, but a little…read moreskeptical, since pizzas don't exactly grow on farms. The farm itself is cute. Plenty of space to park and lots of room to sit out and enjoy your day. There are hiking trails, goats, outdoor games, and, the day we happened to visit, there was also live music. There were 6 of us in our group, so we ordered 3 pizzas and I saw pizza fries and wanted those, so we got those as well. Since they do wood-fired here, I was thinking they would be similar to Punch in terms of size, and I was sorely mistaken. 3 pizzas and pizza fries was all together too much for the 6 of us. In hindsight, I'd probably skip the pizza fries, since they were also the same size as the pizzas and the crust wasn't terribly crispy (definitely neopolitan style), the fries couldn't dunk in the sauce very easily. We also had the Ole, Buster, and Lola pizzas. The dessert pizza sounded so good too, but we were way too full for that. You are encouraged to BYOB here, but they also have a small selection of taps and wine available as well. The Pizza Farm is definitely worth a stop by!
