    Large charcuterie
    Tara M.

    I stopped here mid Saturday afternoon to meet with a friend. Service was great. I probably had 4 different people ask if I needed anything while waiting. They gave me samples to try before ordering a glass, to make sure I liked it. Good thing to know also, is that you can order half glasses if you want to get a couple different types. At 2 pm on a Saturday it was pretty laid back, but by the time it was 6, the place was packed and very busy. If you want to avoid the crowd go early. All of the wine I tried was very good. I stayed to the dry white wines. We did order a charcuterie, which took them a while to make, but everything on there was delicious. I will definitely be back to try more wine.

    Great ambiance, friendly staff and delicious wine! Tried a local Syrah that was flavorful and smooth. Lovely place to relax as an aperitivo. The wine flights and kangaroo jerky sounded intriguing - maybe next time!

    Living Roots is an interesting wine bar. Started by a family with roots in both the Finger Lakes Region and Australia. The wine bar offers wines from both vineyards either by the bottle, glass, or a flight. They do offer small snacks to accompany your wine on the menu. The staff was extremely nice and the space is refined/classy (bonus points for the comfy leather barstools)! My taste in wine is not extremely refined but I enjoyed my glass. At Living Roots they offer a wine for all tastes (red, white, rose, dry, sweet, etc).

    Living Roots never disappoints with a great charcuterie board, amazing wine and the best service around. Their servers are nice, knowledgeable and are always checking in. I love the way they offer a local pour to start and love the atmosphere of the place! I just wish they had better parking during the winter months.

    Delightful trendy wine bar with tasty charcuterie and superb service. Parking a bit limited but worth looking for!

    Classic Whites wine tasting

    Absolutely adorable inside. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Loved the wine presentation and can't beat trying kangaroo jerky. The welcome sparkling wine was such a delicious surprise.

    Classic flight

    Who doesn't love a cozy wine bar!? From the rustic decor, to in-store shopping, Living Roots is is absolutely inviting. My party enjoyed flights and chatting with our lovely and knowledgeable server, Madeline. While it would be nice to be able to create your own personalized wine flight, their menu offers a fair variety.

    Such a cool, fresh hip use of this loft style space. Came here for a Yelp event and a few girls night outs! Everyone is so friendly and helpful here. There's a nice tasting room and a winery with knowledgeable staff to help when picking out the best wine for you. Nice L shaped bar and a few tables to sit and relax. Really loved their private room, walking through the large very cool vault door( this place used to be a bank) Very cool place to hangout with friends and so many cute gifts to pick up.

    A gem in Rochester. A great place to catch up with friends and try local wines as well as those from Australia. The charcuterie board is so tasty and all the locally sourced items are a bonus. Bright windows and fun tables add to the ambiance. The servers are great and really know their stuff!

    Tammra S.

    Phenomenal service! The employees are so friendly and attentive. Explained their wines from their whites in NY and their reds made in Australia. Great ambiance and love their wine windows. Order at the window and have a seat outside. Right behind Living Roots is a brewery for the beer lovers. Great selection of wines. A place to stop for a quick sip or spend a few hours enjoying their variety.

    Diana M.

    Great selection of wines with bartenders that are happy to make recommendations and share their knowledge. Also, get the big portion of the marinated cheese - you won't regret it.

    Red flight, white flight
    Kimberly H.

    Wow. This place is awesome. I had heard of it for a while but I finally pulled the trigger for a night out and I am glad we did. The wines are delicate and yet bold, the service was great, so friendly, the venue is a lovely size, just big enough but still cozy, and the charcuterie board was impressive. I definitely plan on coming back soon!

    Brian B.

    I have to say this was a nice place to go to. They offer such an abundance of so many different types of wine to taste. Our initial reason to try this place was going to be for the wine tour however we were told when we arrived and put in our order that we would not be able to do the wine tour because the owners are the ones who lead the wine tour and they were out of town. I wish that information was available on the website so we would have known that. Having said that, that did not stop us from trying a lot of different types of wine and food. We ordered the Charcuterie board and the crostinis with the wine and I must say everything was so delicious. There were also a few cool things in and around the restaurant. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in the mood for wine!

    Chilled bottle!

    I am grateful I FINALLY got to visit the brick and mortar store of Aldaskeller here in the South…read moreWedge. I'm sure you either went to a pop up or two that they have done (yes I have) Followed them on social media or heard about them on the local news or however you get your local news. This is a WINE ONLY store kids and why it took longer was because of some weird issues with the state board. Now dear reader it's over, they finally opened and you for sure should visit. The owner Brandon a person who's passionate about sharing his love of Natural Wines with you and the fact his store which is stunning I might add, with his turn table and vinyl records going. Wants you to feel like your visiting his home and it's a relaxing home. Now your asking "What's a Natural Wine" here's the short answer: "Natural wine, then, is made from grapes not sprayed with pesticides or herbicides. Natural winemakers handpick their grapes instead of relying on machines to harvest them." Vox Some wines are clear other cloudy or unfiltered and it does not mean it's not a good wine. When you walk into this rather long narrow store you see how all the bottles are set up, the kind of lounge/sitting area on the right hand side of the store, the checkout/tasting area with music playing from a turn table. It's all lovely light woods, the wines are sitting out. Feel free to just walk around and DO NOT BE SCARED TO ASK QUESTIONS. That's the point not everyone has tried a natural wine or maybe you did and were like I'm not feeling it. Please add Natural Wine to your wine repertoire I know you will enjoy trying different grapes and from surprisingly odd off the beaten path areas of the world. I purchased a few the other day both I have never tried but liked the descriptions and the second bottle is from Lebanon and the description was just like WOW! The first wine is a red called Lune Pop it's a sparkling Zinfandel very cool. I'll supply photos of course. Check out there Instagram for more info. This is a great edition to the South Wedge and you need to pay them a visit. They have events, tastings and etc again check there SM. As always you know I'll give you the situation on parking. Either street or some local parking lots in the area. Go and support a great local business. I'll be back.

    Went to Alsaskeller last night for a wine tasting event. Staff was super nice! They had little…read moresnacks to pair with the tastings too. Had some great one. If you like whites, try the GYOTAKU! It was amazing.
