It takes some savvy and charisma, along with a knowledge of drinks, to be a successful bartender. This is one of those jobs in which your success depends on your personality more than anything else. You need to be a provider of drinks, a server, an organizer, a cashier, a friend, a psychiatrist and a neat freak among other things. Customer service is the key because the majority of your income will come from tips and there are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to this part of working the bar.

Our annual Bogle tasting is always our largest tasting we do in our tasting room. The reason is simple. Bogle is one of the hottest brands in the country and especially in Carbondale. Every wine over delivers on quality at a great price, and we just love them all. Our Bogle friend, Ted Kiefer, will be here again to taste you through his wines, the best rack of wines so far. Oh yes, one more thing: PHANTOM IS BACK, too!!
