Great wine selection and very knowledgeable owners and staff. I joined the wine club for a reasonable price and I guess once you join, you are in for life. You get a discount on bottles that don't have a red mark on the price label when you join the club, along with some other benefits. Like that they are close to home and open often.

What a lovely neighborhood establishment. Filled with gorgeous global wines, and great people with educated recommendations. Weekend tastings are convivial and second-to-none.

Part of this is in support of the idea of the idea of your knowledgeable neighborhood wine shop, and some of it is to support M&S specifically.Are McCarthy & Schiering the only place around you that might offer a weekly wine tasting? No. But if you attend tastings at BevMo or Total Wine, they're probably going to be a collection of wines you can get at your local grocery store. Or they'll be wines they get a special distributor's hook up on. Think cheaper California wine. But, do you love wine and want to gain a true insight into the world's wine regions? They won't do that for you. But your local neighborhood wine shop will.For those who live close to the U-Dub, that's why it's great we have McCarthy & Schiering. They love wine as much as you do. And if you're curious to learn about Bordeaux reds that won't break the bank, wait for their Cru Bourgeois or other tastings they might have throughout the year. They'll pour you a small taste of the good stuff, so you can understand what you're buying. Throughout the year, you'll get the chance to taste some great wines from France, Italy, Spain and other world regions. Along with the very best Washington producers that other wine shops could only dream of bringing to their shops.Is the $150 worth it to join their Vintage Select Buyer's Club? Do you think you'll buy 20 bottles or more over the next couple of years? If so, you've paid for that membership, and you get the cheaper prices for the rest of the time you're a customer of the shop.I look forward to many more years of wonderful tastings that let me fill my collection with wines that I know my family and friends will love for years to come.

I used to live across the street from this wine shop in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood (1994-2002). They have another shop atop Queen Anne within walking distance from another former apartment. McCarthy & Schiering have provided one of my earliest introductions to an accessible wine education of which I am grateful.I had joined their wine membership eons ago, enjoyed the discounts, and kept up via newsletters, attending special events and periodic shop tastings on Saturdays. My last dedicated visit was last year on various sakés, and also bought some Malbecs (5/14/22). Recently, I had followed up on my March inquiry about a Leonetti merlot release last week. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply back from Jules (5/25/23). I lucked out on an available bottle. Guess others chose not to pick up or pay for their request. The bottle was a major splurge and now a worthy addition to my collection, as I had to give away earlier vintages to others. I'm glad that the pandemic and new ownership has been fairly seamless with McCarthy & Schiering remaining in business. Just updating my post. Highly recommended!

I've been shopping here for decades and am a Vintage Select member. Knowledgeable staff is great at recommending good wine that fits your budget. I have learned so much over the years about wines at their free Saturday tastings. 11 stars!
