Prices are pretty good, and they have a number of deals going on all the time that sometimes make things even better. In addition, they have a tasting area in a couple spots in the store. Another bonus they have is that they do a lot of trainings and classes so that you can learn food or drink making or a number of other things related to live in the good life. Store is really well kept and looks beautiful coming in, but obviously the focal point is the alcohol. The people there are always very helpful. I had two people stop by and ask if they could help me out in different sections of the store, and they walked by and did the same to everybody that was looking and didn't seem to have found what they were looking for.

To be in the Peace Possey of Peace Water Winery? 100% worth it! First of all, I don't like most Indiana wine because it's way too sweet. PWW wine is all from California! It's right up my alley, and the benefits of the Peace Possey make it a monthly date night PLUS a bargain on a bottle of delicious wine. There are multiple locations, but the Mass Ave location is the favorite for my introverted self. The vibe is more relaxed and quiet, and that gives the staff a chance to be a lot more attentive. Their pours are generous and their conversation is easy. We go every month. It's worth it!

They do have one sweet wine that is amazing. I love the location. It's an easy place to pop into if you're on Mass Ave. The decor is super cute and feels homey to me.

The sales associates on the floor are very knowledgeable; they don't just work there, they actually know what they are talking about which is very helpful.

I was totally taken aback by the level of customer service I was provided. Upon entering the store, i headed to what I thought was the correct area. 2 different employees walked past and spoke to me as they walked by. I thought that was pretty nice. Then a third one went past and asked if they could help me. I told her what I was looking for and she walked me to it. I am happy she did. She showed me where the help wanted button was that I didn't see and that also wasn't labeled. But since she walked me back and identified it for me it was ok. Then an employee came back and helped me. She was very nice and pleasant and said she would have my order up front at the registers. Even the cashier was both nice and friendly. Each employee I encountered gave me a high level of customer service. I also liked the fact that the store was very neat and clean and very organized. I can tell by this location that customer service is very important to this company.

Confession: I'm not the biggest fan of Indiana wine. (This isn't actually a confession or a secret…read more I will gladly tell anyone who will listen that I don't like Indiana wine.) It's usually way too sweet for my palate, even the dry wine. But the wine I tasted at Urban Vines was really good! Could it be that I can no longer say that I don't like Indiana wine? If you like dry wine like I do, I suggest sticking to the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Those were the red wines that I chose for my wine flight, plus the Pinot Gris from the white wine section. These were all delicious and dry enough for me. (If we're really quibbling, they were still slightly sweeter than I like, but I realize Indiana wine can only go so dry.) Mostly, though, Urban Vines is ideal for people who like sweeter wines. The people who see "cotton candy" on the wine bottle and think, "Yes, this is what I want. I want my wine to taste like liquified sugar." That said, I did taste a sample of the Wine-A-Rita, which is a sweet wine infused with agave and lime, and served on ice. Whoo! That's a nice little sippin' drink. I could see killing a couple of glasses of that on a hot Indiana summer evening. I should also mention: The pours that they give you for the wine flights are generous! More than generous, actually. I am no wine lightweight, and I could feel the sweet and bitter fruits flowing nicely throughout my bloodstream by the time I took my last sip. Luckily, Urban Vines has food to offset all of the wine. I came for a pizza flight, but they weren't offering them when I visited, so I got the margherita pizza instead, which came with torn pieces of basil, marinated and roasted tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It was very tasty! They also offer things like boards (veggie boards, breadstick boards, cheese boards, meat boards), plus salads and desserts. They also offer brunch on the weekends. This is a pleasant little place to hang out and enjoy wine and food. It's also family-friendly -- they have a small playground that's near the patio seating, so you can relax and also watch your kids play. Urban Vines is a nice place to unwind with some wine and food, and just enjoy the day.

I've tried a lot of their menu, and I honestly can't recall a dish I didn't enjoy. On top of the food, I always have a great experience here. I usually sit at the bar (and hope Katie or Amy are bartending) - it's always a good time. The bar is typically lively, especially on weekends, which makes for a fun atmosphere. I also appreciate that the bar tables are first come, first served. Lately, I've been getting the trio medallions with mashed potatoes and broccoli, chefs kiss! So good every time. The wine of the month right now is a Cab Franc, which I personally enjoyed. Looking forward to my next visit, as always.

During my short time in the store, I was cheerfully greeted and showed around, but also left to browse by myself (which, as an introvert, I appreciated). The store is small and cozy, but they have a great selection of wine and other beverages that I haven't seen at bigger places. I ended up getting a bottle of Spanish red wine and a can of local white wine. I like to do that whole high-low thing sometimes, you know? WestClay Wine and Spirits does wine tastings and spirit tastings weekly, sometimes multiple times a week. You can keep up with their schedule on social media.

My 11-year old recently told us he wants to be a chef, so I googled "kids cooking classes…read moreIndianapolis" and Katsumi's was one of the top results. I remember hearing from another Elite Yelper friend how much they enjoyed her class, so I booked a Saturday morning "Intro to Sushi Making" class for my son and I. This is not a cooking class where you watch the teacher and then never make the super-complicated recipes again. Mori had my son do most of the food preparation from slicing veggies and mixing the matcha-glazed cake. Mori taught us about dining etiquette, different grades of rice and nori, and where to find the ingredients used. We also got to eat everything we made - we were very full by the end of class! We have since bought our own Zojirushi rice cooker and have made our own rolls at home. Highly recommend her classes for just a couple, family (kids 6+) or a whole group!

We opted to do Japanese street food which afterwards we all got to taste. It was delicious. She encouraged us to bring Japanese wine and beer and of course that made the girls giggle a lot. She went over food preparation, and how to cook each meal in great detail all while explaining the history of the food we were cooking. Her kitchen was spread out and had plenty of room for all of us. It was a tremendously fun time. Everyone of the girls had a great time with lots of smiles. I think we will book it again for my daughter and her friends. It was well worth the money and definitely coming back.
