This is the best wine-shop. Full stop. They've nailed it on every dimension: 1) What an incredible, varied, and dynamic selection of wines available! The shelves are always full, and every time I go I find something new and interesting 2) Their prices are so reasonable! I can reliably expect to grab a ~$15-20 bottle that's still going to be really dang good, but it's also fun to go explore around in their rare and vintage wine room for some truly exceptional bottles! 3) Most importantly, the folks working there are so awesome. The new owners are warm, inviting, and SO knowledgeable! Michael is an endless font of information, and so good at giving an informed recommendation, all while somehow *not* being a wine-snob! He and his sweet family make the shop have such a wonderful neighborhood vibe. What a gem of a shop! Can't wait to go back (soon)

Awesome locally owned wine shop with a great selection at every price point. The Friday night tastings are a fun way to find new wines.

One of my favorite wine shops in Portland. Every price point for well crafted wine, Authentic service, and education through pouring events.

Best wine shop in the city, without comparison. Friday wine tastings are well curated and affordable, and the word is spreading because it's growing in popularity. Tell the owner Tracy sent you.

Super cool wine shop with great events. We attended a Friday-evening “Summer of Vermouth” tasting and had a blast. It was super fun, we tried new things we wouldn’t otherwise, and the staff was attentive and genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge and love for the products.

What a great find! We stopped in with a vague idea of what we were looking for (thanks for letting our pup come in a browse with us too!), and found that Michael was very knowledgable about regions, flavor profiles, and styles of wine to satisfy both our comfort-based choices as well as helping us to find great options outside of what we were familiar with! We're looking forward to interacting with some of the options that Michael and his partner are putting together, including wine club memberships, collaborations with other businesses and tasting nights. Highly recommend this great local business!

Mt. Tabor never ceases to impress! Michael does a phenomenal job at curating a unique selection chock full of classic producers and up and coming stars. If chill vibes and an incredibly knowledgeable staff is what you are after, Mt. Tabor is the spot to be!

Whooo boy. If you want a first-class experience picking out wines, then look no further than Mt. Tabor Fine Wines. The owner, Michael, has a Mensa-level knowledge of wine, and he uses that knowledge to guide you in your perfect tasting experience with every bottle. He truly understands terroir, and he lets you know when and how to drink the wine to capture its essence. Michael recommended to me a red wine to drink when the weather turned crisp, which I was able to do while away in the Gorge with my fella. His understanding of time and place with a bottle enhances each tasting experience. Michael and his wife Meredith were wonderful hosts for me with a private event (yes, the shop does private events!) and guided us around an entire region to taste a variety of deliciousness. Each wine was accompanied by its own origin story, complete with a painted picture of where the wine was created so that it felt as if when you closed your eyes, you were magically whisked away to that place. I've learned so much about wine by tasting at this shop, and I've expanded my taste to include wines that I didn't even know existed. This wine shop is truly a gem.

We stopped at a local nearby store for other shopping and the Mt Tabor Wine shop was nearby. What a wonderful find. Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and assistance to narrow down my selections. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional and very helpful. I so enjoyed the visit, I have ordered more wine to be shipped to our home (more than a thousand miles away).... Sure wish we lived closer, but a grand benefit when visiting family in PDX area.
