Tucked off the road in a small shopping center, so much that I thought I made a wrong turn. The sky opened up as I was pulling in so I sat in the car and waited for the storm to pass. When the rain let up just enough, I made a run for the awning and went inside. The wine cellar is attached to a wine bar, and I can already see how easy it would be to stop in for a glass and an appetizer while you figure out what you want. Putting that on the list for next time. What I will say is the store is more than just the first area you walk into. Take a right down a small open hallway and you find more selections with some discounted bottles and some great buys worth exploring. Four people working inside and one came over as I began to look around. She asked if I needed help finding anything and I asked where the pinot noirs and cabs were. Her first question back was where from? I was a little taken back since I usually like to browse by region once I get to the section. I asked for suggestions instead. Her next question really sent me. What is your pricing point? I threw out $20 and she pointed me to a few lower shelf selections that other people said were good. WOW! I took pictures of her suggestions for reference and pulled up Claude to help me make my own find that did not limit me to what others thought based on my pricing point. I made my selection and checked out. Tap to pay made it a breeze. While I was there, I noticed another customer come in and a different helper suggested wine based on taste and not pricing point. That contrast said everything. I did stop to grab the small bottle of bourbon sitting at the register since I do love bourbon and it is not normally a cheap liquor. Decent but not as memorable as others I have had. The Juggernaut red blend I selected was $20 and fine for the night. Not my favorite but did the job. Later at my friend's home I shared my experience. She is a luxury event planner and her, and her mom have hosted countless events for politicians and community leaders at their waterfront property. Their experience at Wine Cellars of Annapolis was similar to mine. Shocking for sure! A store this close to waterfront properties that host high end events should be the first call for every bottle on that table. That is a missed opportunity that matters. While this place has potential, leading with pricing point over taste cuts off the opportunity to help a customer expand their palate beyond what they can remember their last bottle cost. That is the kind of guidance that builds loyalty and brings people back. A cellar worth gathering at starts with how you make people feel when you walk in and that still needs some work here.

We were visiting area and walking around when we went in so didn't have to park. Super great selection of items (wine, beer, liquor) and great service. Very friendly.

I tried out a new Irish Whiskey brand CLONAKILTY over the weekend at the prompting of their representative Ms. Deno, I took it to a small family celebration and it was a winner, those who attended the celebration were out the next day trying to find this product...
