TRY WINE Experience, DRINK+DINE+SHOP - St. Petersburg, Florida

Daniel Slapo

Attended the exquisite HELYX dinner tasting experience.

The intimate gathering, tailored for around 14 guests, showcased each course with meticulous attention to detail.

Accompanying wines were expertly paired, featuring a selection of exceptional choices. Although the 2 oz pours were delightful, I believe offering 3 oz pours would enhance the wine appreciation experience.

Constructive feedback aside, the staff could elevate their attentiveness, particularly in the realm of basic water service.

I recently visited Try Wine in St. Pete, FL, with my work company, and our first impression was nothing short of excitement and amazement. The unique ambiance and variety of wines caught our attention immediately, making it a place unlike any we've experienced before.

The wine selection, ranging from reds to whites, old country to new country wines, and even dessert wines, was impressive. The interactive half-ounce, ounce, or glass serving options added a fun element to the experience. The card system for payment was user-friendly, allowing us to explore the diverse wine offerings effortlessly.

Opting for a charcuterie board, we were eager to try the curated selection of treats. Priced at $40, the board included an array of tempting items. However, upon its arrival, we were surprised by its size, as it seemed barely sufficient for two people. The absence of meats was unexpected given the price, and the initial cheese and bread quality were not up to par.

Nevertheless, the staff went above and beyond to address our concerns. They promptly replaced the cheeses, and in the end, they even comped the board, turning it into a learning opportunity. Despite our initial hesitation to inquire about certain aspects, the staff's kindness encouraged a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Overall, Try Wine offers a unique and exciting wine-tasting experience, and while there were hiccups with the charcuterie board, the exceptional service and willingness to rectify concerns left a positive impression. I appreciate their commitment to customer satisfaction and the opportunity to expand my knowledge in a welcoming environment.

Oliver and his staff run an amazing operation. It's low-key and relaxed, with an enjoyable atmosphere. Their selection of wines is superb and you're able to sample rare and hard-to-find wines you may never have had the chance to before. We make it a habit to go every year when we're in town for the Grand Prix.

Everything was beyond expectation. Incredible. Chef Chris only sends out well thought out and delicious masterpieces. Everyone we interacted with was knowledgeable and personable. I can’t wait to come back!

Similar concept with machines that dispense wine by inserting a card as the Wine room in Winter Park. However, they also offer different flights of wine with 6 different 1.5 oz each or 1oz flights. Everyone was very friendly and explained everything to us as it was our first time there (my daughter & I).

The reason I gave 4 stars is because I was taken aback by them asking for my credit card up front for them to hold on to. Honestly I assumed it was because I’m black. I checked the reviews and no one mentioned this.

Any who I ordered spicy cheese, the green organic wine flight & a bottle of Nero D’avola wine from Spain. The bill was $53.29.

My daughter ordered the Eastern garden pizza and she loved it.

There’s also a wine store in this place.

For the uninitiated it will seem like a great selection. Those in the know will recognize you’re paying an average price for average wine. There are a handful of “expensive” wines. Tried very small tastes of some average and some expensive wine amounting to one glass. Bill for the individual flatbread and the glass was $78

It’s a great concept the room is cozy, too bad the majority of wine is from larger producers.

As I was paying my bill, the people next to me were sending food back. I’m thinking the rent must be high.

Way long overdue review!!! I have been traveling and so busy but today I had to sit down and give this amazing place its flowers! We went there in July during my husband’s bday celebration weekend around July 9th there after. Wow all I can say I’m still dreaming about the place, the food, the service and ambiance!!! I wish the owners can go and train the AC hotel rooftop hotel in fact I told the manager at our hotel if they want to stay in business they need to take a trip down the block and beg the owners of this place to train their staff!! This place is exceptional and they deserve all the success!! The food is top notch but their team there is what makes it 10 out of 10. They want you to leave happy. I love them and only wish they can open more places all over Florida. I’ll be back soon!!

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. If you haven't visited yet and enjoy wine, it's an excellent opportunity to sample different wines. You have the option to buy a tasting, half a glass, or a full glass. This is especially wonderful because experimenting with expensive wines can be daunting. The owner was incredibly friendly and provided valuable wine suggestions.
