As we continue our series “Plan your wedding w/ Mass Ave. Style”… our next stop is the Mass Ave. Wine Shoppe. We’re jumping from Silver in the City (which is one on the south end of Mass. Ave.) to a cute little wine shoppe on the north end of the Mass Ave.
The wine shoppe is a great little place to stop in and relax with a glass of wine and a tasting platter. I’m actually writing this post while enjoying a glass of “Garde Dog” beer & some delicious spinach artichoke dip. They have a wide variety of micro-brews with a great taste and unique names – there’s nothing like a 6-pack of beer named “Holy Sheet” or a 4-pack named “Horse Piss”. Ok, I’m not just going to mumble on about beer… I’m gonna get to the good stuff that can help you plan your Indianapolis wedding.
This place is an excellent beginning for your Indianapolis bachelorette parties… just be sure to keep these in the car, because there is a certain level of sophistication to this place. There’s only seating for less than 30 people, so they definitely have that small/intimate thing going for them. The owner of the shoppe, Jill, says they host a lot of bachelorette parties for local Indianapolis brides.
The great part about their wine selection is that almost all the wine is less than $15 per bottle. For a wine novice like myself this means that I’m not going to end up picking out a $50 bottle of wine and end up feeling like a cheapskate for putting it back, because it’s too expensive. The staff are all willing to help you pick the best wine for your taste. So, whether you’re looking to pick out a unique wine for your reception or find a few bottles for the out of town guest’s gift basket, this is your place. You can purchase the wine by the glass, so you can actually give it a try before buying a case. Another cool feature to this place is that fact that they have wine tastings each Tuesday
evening from 5:30-7:00pm. So, you and your fiance can actually make an evening out of sampling 3 or 4 wines to see which is perfect for your wedding reception and guests.
Be sure to check out this great little wine shop on Mass Ave. The service is great and just sitting in here enjoying a glass of beer makes you feel like a hip millionaire – ok, maybe that’s just me. Time to fold up my Macbook and head out for the evening with my wife.
