The Wine Jukebox--Wine Gallery Part II

The most intriguing (and fun) attraction at Wine Gallery in Brookline is the Music Jukebox, where one can sample up to twelve wines at one time with just the push of a finger. And, best of all, it costs nothing. (To participate, one must obtain a key card from the staff. They request that jukebox users temporarily deposit their driver's license or credit card while they are sampling wines. Wine Gallery staff just want to get the key cards back.) Then one grabs a wine glass and begins selecting wines to sample. The wine bottles and their labels are all visible. Place the key card in the jukebox and push the button for each wine one wants to taste.

Ken and I found it an entertaining and informative way to buy wines we know we'll enjoy. I'm very reluctant to purchase a wine I know nothing about. A salesperson's opinion is nowhere near as helpful as actually sniffing and savoring the product.
