Great Find

Overall rating:

I stumbled upon this place last week and am thrilled to have done so. Unfortunately, I don't live in the neighborhood, so I won't be able to come back as often as I'd like but this place is worth coming back for. When I first walked in, I was admittedly a bit intimidated by the whole idea of an art boutique/wine store. The guy working that night (I'm not sure if he's the owner or manager or maybe just a worker) was very nice and attenttive, but not over the top. He welcomed me, introduced himself, and made me feel that it was completely o.k. if I wasn't a wine expert. Who knew wine could be so much fun? Anyway, this place was keeping it real. I was amazed at the beautiful interior, as well as the impressive selection of wine. Both wines that I tried were spectacular.... one was $11.50 and the other a little bit more than that. I heard that the store also hosts other types of wine events, and am looking forward to making it to one of them. All in all, this place makes shopping for wine so much fun. What would make this place an A+ was if they had an equally wide selection of fine cheeses and dips to purchase.
