Taste Select Wines

Great food, excellent wine!. The food was spectacular here! We held a private party for about 10 people, and everyone was blown away by the food and the wine. The wild boar chops were something you need to try if they are available. The ostrich wrapped appetizers were so exotic, and so good. The desserts are a definite must. Definitely a place to go with friends...stay awhile, try out the "self-serve" wine bar, and order some food. It will be an experience everyone will enjoy. Great service from a knowledgeable and friendly staff!…

Great wine pairing and selection, tasty food, friendly and knowledgeable owners and waitstaff, great atmosphere. I've visited Taste Select Wines a few times now...and I have yet to find the restaurant lacking in anything. The experience, from greeting to departure, has kept us going back. The management really has it together. The wine carousels are unique and fun. The chef does an excellent job at creating the most tasty dishes. By the way, the beef carpaccio was delicious. I get it everytime I go...even when I plan to "try something new"...I still have to get the carpaccio while I'm there. Everything is so fresh and delicious! The wine suggested by the staff complemented the food wonderfully. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a truly delightful dining experience!…

Great Wine, Great Food, Great Service.. I went to Taste with a few of my friends to celebrate. While I like wine, I am by no means an oenophile. The waitress was very helpful in making a selection, not pushing the more expensive wines, as is the case in so many restaurants, but asking which types of wines I liked best, most important characteristics, etc. I now have two new favorites thanks to my trip to Taste. The food was AMAZING. REALLY good. I loved the Ahi tartar as well as the Rabbit. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a glass of good wine and really good food.…

Delicious and Delightful Dining Experience. My wife and I drove from San Antonio to Austin after having Taste recommended to us by another friend. I can tell you that what we found did not disappoint. The managers added a personal touch by coming by and talking with us at our table. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the wine, and the chef even made an appearance to make sure we were happy with the cuisine.

The wine selection is unbeatable. They literally have something for everybody, and take the time to educate the customer about diferent classes of wines and different labels within a certain class. They even have a way that you can sample several different wines that doesn't break the bank (for those among us who are a little less decisive).

The food was a real highlight! My wife and I take the time to treat ourselves to a high-end dining experience now and again (Ounce, Silo, and Kirby's are all excellent choices in North SA, for those looking), so I have a little knowledge about good food. Let me just say that everything we tried, from appetizers to dessert, was fantastic. The thing I liked the most was the variety of the menu. Featuring dishes that included wild boar sausage, fresh ahi tuna, and handmade pastas. This is not a run of the mill meal, and it was worth every penny.

The climate of Taste is welcoming and casual, but still has the air of class that one wants in a fine dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good place to take a date or to enjoy a great evening among friends. My wife and I definitely plan to take the trip north on I-35 again in the near future.…
