Sour grapes
Rusty Grape Vineyard could be wonderful but falls short in my opinion. On the surface, it sounds wonderful....good wine, live music, good food, intimate setting...who wouldn't like that. Rusty grape promises all that. But the reality is, while the wine is good...The acoustics are terrible. The live music is almost impossible to hear. This is likely due to the poor design of the stage area and restaurant. Sound bounces off the walls and ceiling. Conversation is impossible. Of course, the noisy drunks, oblivious to the presence of others, also are a distraction. The demographic here is 50 years plus. Tried the pizza. Soggy crust, hard to cut. When you manage to wrestle a slice off the place, all the cheese from the adjoining piece slides off. Salads slathered in dressing. The tables are set close to eat other, so as other diners attempt to slide by through a two foot aisle, their posteriors swing dangerously close to your dinner plate. The chairs are constructed of metal, similar to patio furniture. Bring your Ibuprofen. I don't mind inflated prices, in fact I pay them with a smile to support a good business offering a good product. But this felt more like a rip-off. The wine is good though. If you can overlook the other stuff, this place is for you.

Terrible wine, good pizza and beer
Wine is really bad. Pizzas are good and the staff are hard working. The area is very pretty but there is no view from the restaurant tables to take advantage of that.
