Really nice selection of wines! Got the Butter Chardonnay…read morerecommended by the staff- very rich, buttery and full just how I like it. $33 The Paul AMAW Viognier was really interesting- medium bodies, smooth and a tad fruity with nectarine notes Liberty School CabSav was also on point. Very smooth, not super tannic (personally I'm not a fan of very tannic wines so this was ), and a hint of sweetness balancing out the full body of the wine. This one was also recommended by the staff - who seem to be very knowledgeable about the products they carry

2 words: Craft Beer…read more I've never seen a place like it. They put the LCBO to SHAME! There was a full wall dedicated to craft beer. It had every type of beer you could imagine. None of it was in the sissy cans, bottles or tallboys we have, these were ALL in 650ml or so bottles. Mmmmmmmm. They even have a loyalty club to get discounts on booze. All of the staff were friendly. They also had a sample table out with local cider.

Often considered one of the best privately owned beer and wine stores in Nanaimo…read more That statement is not without some backing. Firstly, their prices are one of the more competetive compared to other beer and wine stores. The Windward Beer and Wine Store over by the hospital is considered one of the most expensive. Secondly, they go out of their way to get different and unique items and are more than willing to get something in for a customer. Their hours are very reasonable as well. Basically if you are in town and need to head to a Beer and Wine store than try to make your way here rather than some of the other ones nearby.

I found the staff to be quite knowledgeable about the products that they had available. If you're not sure, just look at the staff picks by name on the shelves, and ask that person for help. I was able to pickup a few great Scotches here that aren't typically available at BC Liquor stores.
