The majority of them were honestly so good, there's something for everyone depending on what flavors you like. I'll admit I'm usually not a fan of anything "milky," but the Chocolate Beignet completely surprised me, I actually loved it! It was unique and definitely one of my favorites from the tasting. The service was great as well, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it's a great place to stop if you're in the area. I definitely recommend doing a tasting and taking a few of your favorites home with you!

We were looking for a 16+ year old toasted American Light Whiskey. Unfortunately there wasn't any available. I would greatly appreciate a heads up when it becomes available. Hopefully a week ahead of time so we can arrange travel. The Ryeconic is fantastic as is the Chocolate. Looking forward to adding more King's Family whiskies to my collection. I really enjoy sharing with friends who are amazed at the how good the 16+ year old toasted ALW is. My wife refuses to share the chocolate so I need a couple of backups next trip.

They offered a great tasting experience of either 3 free samples or 8 samples for around $10-11 something with tax, which is well worth it if you want to explore their selection. Their new 10th Anniversary Blueberry wine was excellent, and the Bourbon Blueberry was another standout, though both were a little higher priced than what I was looking to spend. I ended up taking home some of my favs - Strawberry, Blackberry, and Salted Watermelon Cider, and I absolutely love all three! They has a deal where if you buy 5, your 6th is free so I took advantage since I was buying for a family gathering. One thing I appreciate is that their wines don't contain preservatives, which gives them a fresh, homemade feel. Just be aware they recommend enjoying them within about six months. The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the tasting process without being pushy. Whether you're a sweet wine fan or just looking for a fun stop while shopping, this place is definitely worth checking out.
