Pour Decisions Tasting Room

Where Education Meets Enjoyment

For 24 years, the building at 1130 Westport Drive in Manhattan was home to Westloop Floral, owned and operated by Karen and the late Neal Medlin. In March 2025, the space found new life and purpose as the Pour Decisions Tasting Room, bringing a fresh chapter of community and connection to Manhattan’s west side.

Located right next door to The Fridge Wholesale Liquor Store, Pour Decisions Tasting Room is more than just a place to sip. Pour Decisions serves as a classroom for curious minds and refined palates alike, where every tasting is an opportunity to learn and connect.

Every educational event at Pour Decisions is led by industry experts who bring deep knowledge, passion, and a personal touch to every session. From winemakers and distillers to cicerones and certified specialists, their presenters share insider insights into the artistry and science behind exceptional spirits, wine, and craft beer. Whether you’re a casual enthusiast eager to understand the basics, or a seasoned connoisseur refining your expertise, you’ll leave each experience with a richer appreciation of what’s in your glass.

But Pour Decisions isn’t just about education, it’s about making a difference. At the heart of every tasting is a commitment to community. Every tasting ticket is $10 each, and one hundred percent of proceeds from all Pour Decisions events are donated to local charities, helping to supporting initiatives that strengthen and uplift Manhattan and the surrounding area. Every pour, every toast, every shared story contributes to something greater, while helping to fund programs and people that make our community thrive.

It’s called Pour Decisions, but trust us—this choice always pays off.
