and beer boutique than a wine bar, it has a selection of wines ranging through red and white, to champagne and dessert wines. The store holds wine -tasting events that are free to the public on certain days of the week according to the occasion, or simply as a day dedicated to a specific brand of wine. Walk-ins are appreciated. During an event, an employee introduces the wine to the guests by providing information on price, years aged, where the wine comes from, and what kinds of food it pairs with. Employees are open to questions from wine-lovers of different levels making this a great place to learn about wine for free. Parking is free, however, since there are only 3 parking stalls at the boutique, other parking may be found along King street.

Come in on the first Monday of every month for Dining in The Dark, a dining experience that shuts out the sense of sight in order to enhance taste. Guests are given the opportunity to dine without the use of their sight to use their other senses to taste the meal. Though expensive for just donning a blindfold, this experience is great for a date. YASHIMA / FLICKR
