Virtual tour: Pourtal

Taking it all in

It's a nifty way to sample expensive wines you might not otherwise have gumption to buy. $56 is a lot for a bottle you've never tried, but $4.50 for 1-ounce pour is more affordable. The pours range from $1.50 to $9, with most pours hovering in the $3 to $5 range. Be forewarned: The costs quickly add up, and it's easy to get carried away.
