I learned something about myself during a visit last weekend to the newly-opened Fishers Tasting Room & Wine Bar. The revelation is stunning: I’m not much of a wine connoisseur. I pretty much enjoy one kind of wine, and one alone. Pinot grigio is my beverage of choice, whether the accompanying meal is bouillon, bouballaise, or bratwurst. It’s an admission that probably shoots shivers of revulsion straight up the spines of true wine lovers, but it’s the truth and I’m not embarrassed to say so!

My less than daring wine preference didn’t stop me from enjoying Fishers’ newest entertainment venue, though. My husband and I had fun challenging each other to identify the flavors advertised in the wines we sampled. He claimed to savor the cherries, chocolate, olives and anything else used to make whatever wine he was sipping. I, on the other hand, recognized only one flavor—grapefruit, which happens to be my least favorite fruit ever. Oh well. The servers were friendly and informative, and the ambiance was surprisingly good. A cozy room attached to the wine bar serves as a lounge of sorts, where guests can take a glass – or bottle – of their favorite wine and some cheese and crackers and listen to the evening’s entertainment. Performing the night we were there was the duo of Bloodshot Moon. I’m not music connoisseur, either, although I do watch American Idol, but I thought they were very good. My husband claimed he could identify each and every note they sang. OK, he didn’t really, but I wouldn’t put it past him. Show off!

The $5 wine tasting fee was a bargain for an evening’s worth of good entertainment in Fishers Indiana. And my husband and I agree on one thing: We’ll definitely go back.
