(Scott) - Hello there, I have not posted for awhile, so I believe I am due to write. I have chosen to discuss our experience at Tastings which is a wine bar in downtown Indy. Tastings is a progressive wine tasting experience as it utilizes a unique way to sample their vino.
You start your experience by purchasing a prepaid card, putting as much money on the card as you desire. The prices of the samples range from a couple dollars up to several dollars. You walk around to various stations and have several wines to choose from. Each wine has a description to assist you which will hopefully prevent you from making a bad decision that could result in that bitter face that we have all made at some point in our lives. Once you make a selection, you insert your prepaid card, put the glass under the nozzle, push the button and out comes a 'sample' amount of wine to be swirled, smelled and drank or just to be chugged...the preference is yours. I am a fan of just throwing it down in order to get to the next sample. If you are finished sampling, or prefer not to sample, you may buy a bottle of wine to enjoy along with various food items.
The crowd was definitely one that aimed to please the avid people watcher. You could determine who was on a date, who was there to impress, who was tipsy and who was having a good time. The typical patron that night was dressed in very formal attire and 'appeared' to have significant cash flow; although, don't interpret that to mean Tastings is expensive, as you determine how much you wish to spend.
In all, Betsy, Lauren, Will and I had a great but short time at Tastings even thought I felt very under dressed. It was a short time for us as the prepaid card ran down quickly (we put a whopping $15 on our card), and it was time to move on. I would definitely recommend trying this at least once due to the technology, location and the variety of wines. That's all from me...hope everyone is doing well.
