- DLDavid LaMore5 days ago5.0I’ve never been disappointed in a tasting with John regardless of how many times we visit. Another area we find ourselves in admiration over is the staff across the board at Wagner. Always helpful and friendly. They have a good thing going and always make us feel welcomed.
- MRMarisol RazickDec 28, 20253.0The wine was ok. I got a wine flight and it was fine. I wish customer service was better. They served us and then disappeared. We were disappointed. Im sure they would have been better if they were busier. Not sure if we will be back.
- CECJ EdwardsDec 27, 20255.0We did a wine tasting here today, and it was an Incredible experience! John was very knowledgeable and fun, and he really made the whole experience! Listening to the history of the different wines was so amazing! And he gave us a recommendation for a good place to get a burger. We'll probably be back next time we're in the area.
- MOMeghan O'KeefeDec 22, 20255.0Wagner is one of the oldest wineries in the FLX and one of the benefits of that is that they have a great back catalog of library wines. And with that, you have the opportunity to do a library tasting with the ever knowledgeable, kind, and engaging John Pulos. If you’re looking to learn about the history of the FLX and to do some side by sides of current releases vs library wines (5+ years old), this is a really fantastic stop. We have always enjoyed our tastings with John and cannot recommend the tasting experience that he provides enough.
- SPScott PalermoDec 8, 20255.0We were participating in the Deck the Halls wine tour. We enjoy dry red wines which were not being offered on the tour so we requested a tasting with John Pulos. Our time with him ended up being the highlight of our entire weekend! He is knowledgeable, personable, and tells great stories that made each wine that he shared with us come alive with history and context. If you go to Wagner, don’t leave without spending time with John Pulos!
