Tasting Room of Monona

The newly refurbished and relocated Tasting Room of Monona is the place to be if you’re looking for a relaxed, helpful environment to make wine and cigar choices. Owner Bryant Schaefer understands how to help you unwind after a long day in the cubicle, on the factory floor or in the classroom. "Wine is very conversational and cigars are definitely not about work" he explains, "but too many people are confused or intimidated by their options." That’s where The Tasting Room comes in.

Bryant and his brother Kevin are from around here. Pretentious they’re not. They understand that Wisconsinites are never cheap- but they do love a bargain. When you think about it, the grocery store trial and error, hit-and-miss method is expensive. And at the big barn liquor places, 'customer service' is a sign over a desk- not a way of doing business. So the next time you’re shopping for an everyday wine, special cigar or important occasion, stop by The Tasting Room of Monona. Get on their wine tasting / Cigar event mailing list! You’ll find the camaraderie of wine and cigars and "wine and cigar people" is not to be missed. Bryant and Kevin would love to chat with you, whatever your level of wine and cigar knowledge. But please don’t be a snob - it ruins the taste!
