    just curious if they serve wine at the sexy pool and if so do you know if it is worth drinking. Lol.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    I read a post somewhere on here that was discussing the wine in quite a bit of detail. My recollection is that it said the white and red for non-members is the quality of a $7 - $10 bottle of wine at US stores, but that the Cab Sav for premier members was pretty decent. Somebody correct me if I am wrong about what that post said. Perhaps do a key word search to find it?

    Wine is not the greatest choice around the Sexy Pool because it warms up too fast and somehow just doesn't fit the environment. Maybe cuz it's not the same swilling wine from a bubba mug as sipping it from a wine glass.

    I’ve honestly never seen anyone drink wine at sexy pool .. I had wine at lunch and dinner. I’m not a expert but like she said above it was ok wine. Not the worst and not the best. Mid range Cab char melot. Basics.

    Thanks everyone! Just curious one of our crew is a wine drinker but she is fine with some of the other alcoholic drinks that will be served.

    I asked the question earlier on and was advised to stop at the airport's duty free to by our own to our likings and bring it wherever we wanted. Apparently, you're welcome to BYOB anywhere! So, from a Newbie POV, looks like we better come prepared. Cheers!

    This was my opinion...

    Wine. Let me start by telling you my wine personality so you can get a feel for reference. I usually drink red Zinfandel, but I love any nice bold red. Prefer red to white, but like a nice dry white too (Sauv Blanc, Pinot Grig). So… Merlot, a bit on the thin side, but better than before. Drinkable. Cab Sauv, better than the merlot (and I prefer Merlot to CS). A little more complex, more flavor. Not bad, ordered a few times and will order again. Sauv Blanc. Just plain awful IMO. I actually just had them take it away, and I will usually choke down anything. Had the same response from others at the table. And this was multiple nights, so it’s not just like that particular bottle was bad. Chardonnay – way better than the SB, and I usually never order Chard. It doesn’t taste much like a Chard – probably why I liked it – it didn’t have the buttery oaked flavor to it, it was on the thin side and almost had the acid of SB – again, probably why I liked it. Champagne, just ok – never had it outside of mimosas before, so can’t really compare. Bottom line, better than before, but still nothing that I’d voluntarily buy back home. More drinkable than before. I didn’t purchase any wines, these were all the included ones. ( I am not a member - these were all non-member choices)
