User Reviews for Taste Select Wines

Normally to see a menu like this you would be at a stuffy, high-end restaurant and the bill would refect this. It was such a pleasure to enjoy such a lovely meal, with great hospitality without breaking the bank. Of course, the wine selection is fabulous. Notable reds from Napa and Walla Walla (so your wine snob friends will be impressed), along with many others so all your guests will be happy. The owner, Reagan, is very accommodating and available to his guests. Overall a memorable experience.
Pros: Excellent value, delicious menu

My husband and I were in town for a work conference, and stumbled across this wine bar on accident. They have the neatest temperature controlled units that display several wines and you can buy a pre-paid card to "self serve" yourself different tastes of many different wines. The wine list was very good and had some of the better Napa, Walla Walla and others included. My husband has a good-sized wine cellar and he was impressed to see a few real gems being served. The bonus was the aboslutely fabulous meal we enjoyed. The owner, Regan, told us that the executive chef worked/trained with Bobby Flay. We bought the 4-course meal for only $32 and each course was amazing. I've never had such delectable ceviche, and the arugla salad with candied bacon is something I want to try at home. My husband couldn't believe how tender and flavorful his pork belly entree was (the menu was really interesting!). You could easily drop into this place just to sample wines and get a cheese plate (we did and it's delicious ) and/or stay for a meal. We hope Regan and his wife have great success with this new restaurant, and we'll absolutely go back if our travels take us to Austin. Regan is a former engineer and his wife, a teacher, so it's great to have such young, energetic folks contributing to excellent dining experiences!

My husband and I recently moved to Austin and we love to explore all the different places here. We stumbled upon TASTE and go back at least once a week!! If you love wine and you love food you will love everything about TASTE. One of the reasons I really like TASTE is because it is owned by a family so you know not only is the service going to be amazing but they are putting 100% of them into every aspect of the restaurant. And believe me they are!! They have a wide variety of wines and the knowledge to be able to explain each wine to you!! Also they have a great concept of a wide selection for you taste yourself to see which one works best for you. I wish all places had this!! It makes it easy to learn more about different wines that I have never had before without going out and buying a bottle and wasting my money if I don't like it! They also have a different wine list that is lengthy if you just want a glass and there is something there for everyone. The food is always great (we love the beef tartare)!! On the menu they have half sizes portions as well as full size which is great for you to experience a little but of everything without breaking the bank. The patio is really great because you have great views of the lake and the sunsets are something my husband and I enjoy if we just want to go there and relax have a glass of wine while we watch. The atmosphere inside is clean and crisp! I have traveled all over the world and this wine bar really is wonderful!! If you love great wine and amazing food and stellar service I would definitely try TASTE!!! I almost forgot if you drive go to 3forks valet and they will take your car for you and it is an easy walk from there!!!
Pros: great location, reasonable prices, wonderful food, the staff is amazing, spectacular wine!!
Cons: its your loss if you dont go!!
