Our amazing spread at Acme!!!

This boutique shop is an amazing place to taste, buy and learn about up and coming wines, iconic labels and their wine makers. They don't just offer one label but cultivate and collate hundreds of wines then tailor their recommendations to the specific tastes of their guests. My husband and I wanted to discover the new and upcoming wine makers and their labels. We were blown away with Ben McClure's knowledge and suggestions. Do yourself a favor and book a tasting to see why they were voted Wine Enthusiast's 50 best wine retailers in America for 2020. Side note: they offer a complimentary cheese and charcuterie tray with the Kahuna tasting which was impressive, varied, tasty and more than enough for a party of 2!!!

Napa Valley wine selection from summer 2014 inventory.

Whenever I'm in Napa for more than, say, 15 minutes, I make it a point to pre-order a 4-pack of wine from ACME to supplement my vineyard visits and restaurant stops. Why? Because ACME is in a category all its own: artisan, boutique, & unique - esoteric even - wines from Napa winemakers, savants, & beyond. I scan the web site for wines of interest in my preferred price point, especially the "miscellaneous" reds and whites. I email an order ahead of time, and Erin and her staff do the rest. By the time I arrive in Saint Helena, the wines are ready to go, but usually I linger to scan the wine shelves (which are like bookshelves, but with wine bottles) and sample an opened wine or two for future reference. The ACME staff are also super knowledgeable about interesting, off the beaten path wineries in the area, like O'Shaughnessy (whose estate Howell Mountain Cabernet won Best of Show in a recent SFChronicle wine competition), that adventurous tasters may want to add to their itinerary. Each wine on the shelf has a story to tell, so ask away; you'll be glad you did. In summer, the white and rosé wine offerings are superb. And if you want a coveted cult Napa red wine like Lokoya or Kapcsándy, you'll find them here, too. I've never encountered a wine shop quite like ACME. And this is not for lack of trying. So you should plan a visit here, too. If you don't pre-order, no worries; tell them what you like and what you are willing to spend, and they will take it from there.

Winter 2017 wine selections from ACME.

One of my favorite things about ACME that I enjoy sharing with friends is how much effort they invest in promoting small scale, local winemakers in Napa Valley whose artisan wines sourced from heritage vineyards would otherwise fall under the radar screens of most outside visitors to the valley. A great example are the wines made by Haley Wight of Hayfork. She makes a classically-styled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (with a bit of Petit Verdot added for color, spice, and structure) from a family ranch near Saint Helena, as well as a refreshing summertime Grenache Blanc, with fruit notes of pear, peach, and pineapple and a crisp, tart finish. Both wines you will never find at a wine store outside of Napa, so ACME has a bit of an exclusive on these unique and well crafted wines. ACME also likes to showcase private label wines crafted by high-end Napa winemakers, ex-sommeliers, vineyard managers, and Napa residents who are really passionate about their work and want to share it with others. It's a little like a community farmers' market, but with wine! Plan to visit here as part of your next stop in the Napa Valley. You'll end up with a very different impression than if you only stay in a famous resort or stick with the bigger wineries and tasting rooms.

Monica was super nice. My husband and I were on our way out of town and we wanted a place to go…read moreget bottles that you can't get anywhere else. We were told to come to 750 Wine by a local. We were not expecting what we walked in to. This is a special place to come to taste the local wines that are not the big vineyards in the area. 750 Wine is beautiful. It has amazing local art and a huge wall display of some of the wines they sell. We wet not aware that this was a wine tasting kind of place. Monica was great and very accommodating. She was expecting a group coming in for a tasting and she was more than happy to pour 5 glasses for each of us. Monica really listened to what you like so that she can help you find what you like. We loved everything she served us so we bought 6 bottles. 750 wine will be our first stop the next time we come into town. Thanks again Monica

750 Wines is a fun, modern and amazing experience in St. Helena. Owners David and Monica Stevens…read moreput a fun twist on the run of the mill wine tasting experience. With dozens if not a hundred different winemakers products on their shelf, there is definitely something for everyone. Call ahead and schedule your appointment with them and they will ask you some questions to put the right kind of vino infront of you when you arrive. David and Monica are made for this. They have hand-selected some of the best wine from around the region. Their facility is extremely fun too. Clean, modern and funky, and they sure know how to show their customers a good time. This is a great way to switch things up in your day of wine tasting in the valley. With many great restaurants in the area such as Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, Cook, AKA Bistro and Gott's Roadside Gourmet, you can grab a great lunch before or after your visit to 750 Wines. I am a huge fan of this fun appointment only wine shop! Treat yourself to this first class wine tasting experience next time you visit the Napa Valley.
