Fantastic spot. I came in looking for a Spanish Garnacha and James helped me find a great one in my budget. He then proceeded to share two anecdotes about the wine business that were both informative and funny. Came in for a bottle of wine and left entertained and educated. I’ll be back.

A local favorite! The best wine selection, great prices, and the most wonderful people — especially James, who has always put a smile on my face and been so great to shop with. Look I don’t know the first thing about wine, but I feel like I know so much just because I shop here. Run, don’t walk here.

I’ve lived in many places around the world, and I’ve never loved a wine shop the way I do this one. James, who is usually there, is delightful, deeply knowledgeable, and a true ray of light. He’s the main reason I trust this place—he’s simply the best. And the wine selection is next level and so reasonably priced.
