  Full disclosure, I am not a wine drinker. Now we can continue.... My girlfriend and I were visiting Sedona for the first time taking a casual stroll through the Uptown area when we came across The Art of Wine! Being that it was a particularly hot day and we were *thirsty* we though we would check it out. As we walked in we were quickly greeted by a very cheerful lady who ushered us over to the granite bar and began explaining the wine tasting flights for $15.00 per person. We both realized that $15.00 for what equals out to be roughly a glass of wine was more than a little over priced, but my girlfriend decided it would be a neat experience so why not. I declined the wine tasting and opted for one of their "local craft beers" which were actually the same beer you would find at a beer and wine store except $6.00 a bottle. My girlfriend was very impressed by all the wines and ended up purchasing a bottle of almond champagne for $35.00. They wrapped it up and put a cute little ribbon/bow on it, to help you justify the amount of money you just spent. The store attempts to portray itself as a high-end purveyor of fine, local, and hard to find wines, when in fact it is just an over priced tourist trap. At the grocery store later that night we found the same bottle of champagne for $11.00 (no gift wrap or fancy ribbon though). While I realize the fault is entirely ours for being impulsive, be sure to research before you purchase to make sure you aren't overpaying like we did... The moral of the story (review) : caveat emptor, buyer beware when shopping at The Art of Wine...
