Favorite Wine: Painted Lady

My boyfriend and I met some friends at Sarah's Vineyard last night. The wine was the best I have had in Ohio. The building is beautiful, the food good, and the service excellent!‎

Favorite Wine: Miserable

I had a birthday party for my mother in law the other day. I reserved 40 seats in the tasting room that holds about 70 people during Sarah's Vineyard's regular business hours. I didn't have to do anything - just show up. Three long rows of tables were set up for me with white table cloths. Ice and coffee were provided. I forgot plates and napkins which were graciously provided for me - even though I brought my own food. There was no minimum wine charge (I only bought 2 bottles of wine), and there was no automatic gratuity charge for large parties like in most places (the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful in providing me with the things I forgot for free, and I didn't even leave a tip). I got away with spending $7 a person including wine on my mother in law at Sarah's Vineyard. I was guaranteed seating and setup in a beautiful setting, and I understand that other large parties were turned away because of my reservation. I was able to save a bunch of money and bring in my own food - even though Sarah's Vineyard provides a delicious menu. I didn't have to set anything up, clean the restrooms (which are immaculate), provide for parking, wash the dishes, or clean up my mess after the party. I got all of this for $7 per person, including some excellent wine (don't tell my mother in law). Sarah's Vineyard offers a great value for those not wanting to spend a lot on their in laws.

Well, the wine here is okay, but the service leaves something to be desired. Also, look out for the fruit flies. We found them landing in our wine glasses & caraffes at least a dozen times. When my wife took her glass up to get a new one and said "Could I please have another glass, it appears that a few flies have found their way into my glass," the woman gave her a new glass with no apologies, eye contact or common courtesies. Also, beware of "renting" the tasting room, as it will cost $250 for any more than 20 people. For that fee, Sarah's Vineyard will do absolutely nothing and provide absolutely nothing. They will not even give you the entire room, so what the $250 pays for is a mystery. After spending the large amount of money to end up renting two rows of tables for a party, I called the owner to discuss their policies and gain an understanding for what we were charged and I was told "to try throwing a party in my own house next time" and "then don't come back here in the future" and was hung up on. It appears that when your business is doing okay, treating your customers with respect is no longer a necessity. Go to Wolf Creek Winery in Norton instead - the wine is better, the staff is friendlier and there are no fruit flies!

Great location for the Summer Solstice. Did not care for the Blueberry wine though.
