Member Profile - Clint Haun

Clint Hahn is somewhat new to the capital city, and with TASTE, the wine and tapas bar he owns and runs with his wife Ginger, he’s giving his new home a new way to experience a wide range of wines plus a menu of small-plate dishes perfect for sharing.

When did you open TASTE? May 24, 2017

Are you from Montgomery? No. My father was in the military, and home was wherever we were. I have traveled extensively and spent the last several years in San Antonio, Texas. I returned to Montgomery after getting married to a local, Ginger (Pridgen) Hahn.

What got you interested in opening a wine and tapas bar? I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years and have a passion or great wine and food. When I relocated to the Montgomery area, I felt my concept of a wine/tapas bar would work well since this particular concept was not being represented in the capital city.

Describe the experience at TASTE. TASTE has a very extensive wine list for the area. We offer wine flights that allow our guests to try three different wines at once without the commitment of a glass. From our “Bubblicious” sparkling flight to our “Big Bad Cabs” flight, we have something for everyone. Additionally, we offer a large variety of craft beer, in-house crafted cocktails along with a full bar. Our tapas menu changes frequently and with the seasons to provide variety and freshness. The tapas concept allows guests to order several items and share them, providing a wonderful dining experience.

What’s your favorite thing about your work at TASTE? Not being from Montgomery, I have enjoyed meeting new people in the area, cultivating what I hope will be lifelong relationships and creating what I consider new experiences in food and wine.

What are your interests outside of work? I love sports and try to hit as many beaches as possible, as often as possible.
