Wine Me Up!

Cozy wine bar with small plates and tapas. Friendly staff, but only 2 I saw working so when it gets packed they are very busy serving everyone and it can take a while. Wine list had a variety and catered to the non wine drinkers with some bubbly and sweet wines. They also had beer on tap. Garlic bre was very yummy, warm and hit the spot. The cheese board was good, maybe a tad overpriced for what you get. Live music on a Friday night was perfect! So fun and the room was full by 9pm so we are glad we called ahead to reserve a table!

Cute vibe. Small wine selection. Very personable. If you're wanting food with your wine.. come earlier. Live music is offered on Friday nights and it's self seating. It was also nice to catch the game too.

This place is walking distance from my apartment and I went for the first time today and I'm so glad I did! My partner and I went for a 'wines that pair well with chocolate cake' tasting today for National chocolate cake day. I did not know that was a thing but I am a fan! We booked the day before and arrived at 7pm. The place was relatively busy and we were shown to our table quickly and it was already set up. We each got 3 pours of red wine for the tasting with a slice of chocolate cake. The wine was delicious, as was the cake. But I travel to Paso Robles and Napa quite a bit to visit wineries and it's customary to receive 4-5 pours so 3 seemed less for the price. That would be my one note. I think they can go for 4 pours.I opted to get a glass of Chardonnay after the tasting and the caprese flatbread. The flatbread was fairly basic but a good companion to the wine. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I'll be back for more events.

Attended my first virtual wine tasting at Wine Me Up with San Rucci Winery! So awesome!I had no idea how it was going to work, and none of my friends had ever done this either. Wine Me Up totally made it work - how ingenious and wonderful it was!Wine Me Up created a wine tasting kit of a superb selection of 5 wines in cute little reusable mini mason jars that we picked up the day of the event for a super easy, virtually no contact pick up. As soon as we pulled up front of Wine Me Up, Michele came rushing out with our baskets which she placed lovingly in the back seat of our car. I'm a wine member, so the $30 charge for the kit was just placed on the credit card they have on file for me. If you aren't a member, you can purchase thru Eventbrite. The tasting kit is enough for 2, and I bought two kits. I invited some friends, the big drinker canceled, the one friend who wanted to come watch doesn't drink, so Nick and I each had a kit to ourselves. A total win, win! They did say "you can have one kit all to yourself, we won't judge" lolIt was very cool having the opportunity to "meet" the wonderful winemakers / Owners of the San Rucci Winery, Anthony Merz located owned here in Bakersfield... There was a lot of opportunity to ask questions of the owners who were very knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. Their wines were amazing. My favorite was the Rose, Nick's was the Benvenuta - a blend of 90% Muscat, and 10% Chardonnay. We both really liked the Cabernet Frank. A helpful detailed information sheet for each of the wines poured was provided. There were also three giveaways / drawings for cool prizes. We didn't win, but...next time. I actually thought it was so cool getting to do this at home. I tried to set up a fancy spread, brought out the nice glasses, "lit" the candles. I got a nice ice bucket in which I placed the whites and rose tastings. In Lulu fashion on our way home from the kit pick up, we stopped by Tahoe Joes and got a family dinner, spread out some special fancy cheeses, and had on hand an extra bottle of wine that we had gotten from Wine Me Up. So we had PLENTY. My friend took a lot of pictures....The mini mason jars are really CUTE, and I just finished washing them, and I intend to use them to make little candles. I miss going to the live person tastings, and hearing the live music. . . However, I really give Wine Me Up credit for being so creative and presenting such an amazing experience. Thank you Michele!

Recently attended an event for a Tobin James wine tasting event. It was a good deal of $20 a person that included snacks and a reserve tasting. It was a good deal. The place was a full house and the staff did their best to give good service. We also ordered a bottle of the Tobin Cab reserve which was delicious. I had a good time and would definitely return. If you're new to wine, this would be a fun way to learn without leaving town. Place is cute and super clean. The space is small but they have made the most of their space. Definitely worth trying if you've never been.

This is such a fun little wine place to hang out with a few friends! We had the wine sampler and cheese platter combo and it was a great deal. We were able to sample 4 delicious wines that I really enjoyed. The cheese platter was a lot smaller than I anticipated so it was more like a mini appetizer. Next time I'll just order a full size cheese platter. I did feel very uncomfortable when I walked in as customers just stared at us as if we were out of place but after a while I felt more comfortable.

This is a great spot in the NW to enjoy some wine and tasty snacks. I've been to 3 tasting events here, and all were fun.

I've come to this little wine spot for years and have always thought it was a fun place to hang out; I'm looking forward to Thursday night wine tasting events.

Had snacks and wine for a great start to the evening. There was live music scheduled and the place filled up days. Casual atmosphere with a great selection of wine!

Awesome place to hang out and enjoy a glass of wine or beer! Especially on Friday's with the live music.
