Well it took her some time to set up the surprises, I like they don't use styrofoam, who is a nice small paper box Very sad when I got home the grapes look like they had something on them and my husband wiped it. It was filthy dirty we wiped a few and it literally was never rinsed or anything. Very sad.

The tasting was a great experience. Shout out to Rebecca. The bar area was full so we grabbed a table. It's a cute spot and has a bunch of plants on the ceiling. About a month ago I learned what Mead is and have been obsessed with trying it. Being able to ferment honey in to a wine like drink is fascinating to me. I knew we were coming down to the area for our anniversary trip. So I found this place in my search. Brewlihan and Rebecca did not disappoint. I started with the serum flight: raspberry lemonade, pear vanilla, black berry currant vanilla and strawberry watermelon. The first 2 were delicious. With my favorite being the pear vanilla. Then Rebecca started to bring me a few others to try. Nothing beat the pear vanilla. So we moved on to the full meads. So the difference is, the serums run about 5.8abv and the meads are about 12-15abv. I came home with 2 bottles of mead. The double pear vanilla and the catalyst. The double pear vanilla is self explanatory. However, the Catalyst is tangerine and pineapple age for 27 weeks in a Grand Marnier barrel. The taste is amazing. I would definitely comeback. We had a great time.

Fantastic place, fantastic owner, fantastic Mead!!!…read more I can't speak highly enough about this very cool place. They make all their own mead and it is all delicious. They owner was out bartender and he was a wealth of information. He was so helpful and friendly helping us make our choices. We tried 12 different flavors and even took a bottle home with us. Summer are sweeter than others, but all are wonderfully designed and brewed. I will definitely be back.

Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the evening. We started with the traditional escargot, which were packed with flavor and honestly some of the best I've ever had! For our entrées, we both ordered the fish of the day, sole. I had mine prepared herb-style, while my friend chose the almond-style preparation. Both came with cauliflower purée, ratatouille, and rice. Everything was excellent, but the sole was the star of the evening. It was so buttery, delicate, and absolutely delicious that even though we were both full, we couldn't stop eating! They also have a wonderful selection of French wines, which made the evening even better. We absolutely loved our experience and cannot wait to return. If you're looking for authentic French cuisine in a cozy, intimate setting, I highly recommend Escargot Bistro!

I stopped by Chez Vincent Wine Bar as I had heard they…read moreserved some very good wines by the glass and wanted to see if they had one of my favorites, Chateauneuf du Pape, available. And to my surprising delight, they did. It was so delicious. But, what I really liked about Chez Vincent Wine Bar was its comfortable ambiance, good service, and stunning décor of upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling; totally creative. Besides delicious wines by the bottle or by the glass, Chez Vincent Wine Bar also offers a great selection of charcutiers. I had their "Le Trio Francais" which consisted of a dry salami rosette of Lyon, Madrange white ham, and a duck rillette being a delicious pate that went so well with my Chateauneuf du Pape. They of course also have cheese plates and other good plate selections they refer to as their "Mixes," as they contain multiple mixes of true gourmet delights. The last time I was there, they also had a man playing a MIDI keyboard for entertainment.

The time has come to say a fond farewell to one of Fort Lauderdale's hidden gems. Sad but true,…read moreVincent, his wife Claire, and daughter Nastasia are moving north to Savannah, Georgia, from where Vincent will be commuting to consult for some Napa Valley wineries. The family has no plans to open another wine bar in their new location, which regrettably means bidding adieu to those authentic charcuterie platters so lovingly arranged by Claire and the hospitality gentille of daughter and co-owner Nastasia, who created a such a welcoming ambience at this unassuming wine bar in Fort Lauderdale's North Beach neighborhood across from the Galt Ocean Mile. If you had the pleasure of getting to know this lovely family from Bordeaux, France, where Vincent spent more than three decades working at Château Margaux, the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in the Médoc region renowned for producing some of the world's finest, elegant and most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, you will know what a loss this means for Fort Lauderdale's northeast side of town. Wishing this delightful family au revoir and all the best in their new endeavors!

Like I mean in $80 plus a bottle and being told that the wine I'm tasting has a nose of blackberry with undertone hints of peach; none of which I have ever been able to truly discern. So it was a joy for me to stop by The Simple Wine shop where I was given the opportunity to try several not to be found elsewhere wines and also to purchase a couple of bottles for myself. The Simple Wine had wines I've never seen before and a few I've never even heard of previously. So, I became completely fascinated in trying these new flavors and tastes as well as some that were familiar. The selection of Italian wines was amazing as they mostly came from small craft vineyards as in the type that would only supply a few select restaurants, but because of their limited capacity, not something like the big box wine chains such as Total Wines. Having spent considerable time in in the smaller country like regions of Italy, I quickly learned that I never had to purchase a bottle of wine as any restaurant house wines were the equal if not superior to any I'd find in a retail bottle. The secret behind it was that these restaurants were supplied by the small craft like vineyards. So finding out that I can now obtain these regional Italian wines from smaller craft vineyards is a real delight and a big money saver too as most of his prices seemed to have run between $15 to $25 dollars.

The tagliatelle bolognese was good but nothing to write home about, honestly lacked flavor in my opinion and honestly the portion size was small for almost $30.. I was still hungry after. Atmosphere was great but the food itself was average and portion sizes were small for the price personally.
