Love these guys.I walk in and tell them what’s for dinner. They magically pull a bottle or two. When I get home, I’m a hero.Sure, if you wanna splurge, they can set you up. Or you can shop the center idle. They’ll surprise you with a better bottle than than the price suggests.Ryan is a the greatest. Give that man a raise.

I recently had the pleasure of stopping by this charming establishment right after my regular walk in the park, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. I decided to explore their wine selection and was warmly greeted by the owner, Ryan (I hope I got his name right).Feeling like it was a white wine kind of day, I opted for a tasting of three European wines. My choices included the '22 Chardonnay from Domaine Givot-Goisot, Chablis, France, the Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Sautereau,Sancerre, France, and the '18 Promara, Tsiakkas, Cyprus. To my delight, the owner also offered me a sample of the '20 Chardonnay from Domaine Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains.I must say, I was truly captivated by the Cyprus wine; it was wonderfully light and creamy. This store is a gem for wine enthusiasts, with a diverse selection from all around the world. It's now my go-to place for discovering excellent wines beyond the borders of California.Thank you for the delightful experience!

This place is wonderful. The wines are delicious, at any price point. Whatever your price point is. The staff is awesome, friendly and will help you find what you need. And the tunes are plentiful and always great. Our go-to for wine!

I have been a loyal customer of Enoteca Direct since it first opened, and prior to that, I frequented Enoteca La Storia in Los Gatos. Both establishments have provided me with a wonderful sense of home, fantastic food, and impeccable service.Over the years, I have tried a vast array of wines from all around the globe, and I have always been impressed with the vast knowledge and exceptional customer service of the Enoteca team. They have consistently helped me find new and exciting wines to add to my collection, and I am constantly impressed by their enthusiasm for sharing their love of wine.If you are a wine lover, I highly recommend paying Enoteca Direct a visit. Not only will you be greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, but you will also have the opportunity to taste unique and delicious wines at unbeatable prices. The team at Enoteca Direct truly cares about their customers and their craft, and I have no doubt that they will continue to succeed and grow for years to come.Thank you, Ryan, Joe, Mike, and the rest of the Enoteca team for all that you do!

Can't say enough good things about Enoteca Direct! The guys who work here are top notch, super friendly, and make buying wine very approachable. My wife and I are not wine snobs but we know enough about wine to be able to purchase intelligently most days but the owners and employees here help us take our purchases to the next level. They have a great selection from all over and always make wonderful new recommendations from regions we've never tried. Lastly, their online ordering is a cinch and they can always look back and see your past orders and get recommendations for new wines based on how that went. Love that they are right in my neighborhood! Prices are also SUPER reasonable! If you're looking for great wine this is your spot!

Wonderful wine store/bar. Ryan and the team are super thoughtful, funny, engaging and knowledgeable. If you create an account, they'll make notes about what you have and haven't liked in the past to make sure they can give curated, personalized recommendations. There's a great selection from high-end wines to super delicious high-value wines that won't break the bank. Can't recommend this place enough. :)

Enoteca Direct has a selection of outstanding and hard-to-get domestic and especially international wines. They seem to focus on lesser known wine regions, such as Sicily or Croatia.The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Their regular wine tastings (in- and out-door) with interesting themes are fun and very educational.This is clearly my favorite wine shop in the Bay Area.

With a plan to make a pasta primavera followed by a rib eye course, I walked into Enoteca Direct with no idea what wines to pair with my meal. I explained the menu to Ryan and he immediately picked 2 amazing wines and let us taste them. The wines he picked were 100% on point and matched up perfectly with the food. I was so impressed with Ryan's skills and highly recommend that if you're looking for interesting, reasonably priced wine options and fantastic expertise you check this spot out.
