Great selection at competitive prices - surprising given the Main Street location. Friendly staff, head staff knew English. Purchased a Cognac, Armagnac, and this French apple-based spirit! read more

I am hesitant to write reviews in English on some of the spots we discovered in Paris via French…read moreYelp, but this store should not remain a secret. Paris definitely does not have a craft beer culture. This is a real shame because there are many wonderful beers produced in France. But you would be hard pressed to find 95% of them in bars in Paris, even bars known for having good beer. One of your only options is going to Cave a Bulles and buying individual bottles of French beer. If Simon is not busy, you can easily chat with him for an hour about beer. He will help you choose a good variety of beers to bring home, ones that you are probably not going to find in the US. His English is excellent. And If you really want to make a friend, bring him a rare beer from the US (or elsewhere).

I showed up 15-20 minutes before closing, and I wish I had gone in sooner. Simon loves what he does and it's evident. My 2 biggest regrets were not bringing him a bottle from back home and not having a checked bag to bring the loads of Cantillon (that I wish I had bought) back to where I was staying in Nice. La Cave a Bulles will certainly be a staple for me whenever I visit Paris.

Make sure you get the right forms for your VAT refund at the airport as the forms we got were not correct (found out at the airport), wasn't a big deal but would definitely confirm next time I visit. Overall, a great shopping experience with friendly service. And yes, they do speak English. The best part about the store is that they make personalized labels for the wine bottles...was a big hit with my friends back in US!

It was the free wine tasting that drew me inside, a flight of 3 whites, 3 reds, and 2 aperitifs. It was the friendly French wine makers who had an unusual fondness for Michigan (Michigan, really?) that had me in there for nearly an hour, sipping and browsing and eventually purchasing the most unusual sparkling red wine I've ever had the enjoyment of unabashedly guzzling. It was the prices that didn't allow me to leave empty handed. And it was all good.

After exchanging pleasantries in French I asked the gentleman if he spoke English. The owner stated that he spoke a "little bit" of English; he then went on to describe wine in great detail lol.

We stated yes, not knowing exactly what he meant and he individually hand wrapped each and every bottle for our trip home. Walked out after a €120 in damages and are very very, very, excited to take our wine back home to enjoy with friends. We got two bottles from burgundy, two bottles from bordeaux, a sweet White, and a bottle of champagne from Champaign of course! I highly recommended!!! Only regret is that I didn't catch his name.

The United States needs more wine shops like this!…read more We stumbled upon this place after the beer shop we were looking for was closed for the afternoon. I mean, we're in Paris so you gots to drink some vin, oui? The owner, Phillippe, was absolutely lovely and chatted with us about the various wines they have on tap (40!). How it works: It's a card system that is loaded with 20 Euros. You go around and put the card into the machine, pick the wine you want and the sample size. You can get just a sample, medium fill or a full glass. Once you're done drinking, hand the card to the cashier and pay the amount you drank. Most of the sample sizes cost around 1-1.5Euro. For me, this is a great way to sample a variety of wines without committing to a full glass. There is plenty of seating on the main floor as well as the lower level. Bringing some snacks and it would make for a great evening!
Looooved Wine Touch!…read more Basically you get a pre-paid card (you don't have to spend the whole amount) and swipe the card each time you want to try one of the many, many different wines scattered around the shop. [If you like sweet dessert wines they're all downstairs!] Prices for each tasting range based on how much you want (half or full glass) and the type of wine. Philippe the owner was especially friendly and super helpful with explaining the process, the wines, and which meats and cheeses paired best.
