We love supporting your business and want to share some feedback that we hope will be helpful. We've had a few visits recently, typically when we stop by on Sunday afternoons around 1pm, where we didn't receive the level of service we've come to expect from a specialty wine shop. When we've asked for recommendations or information about specific wines, we've been told "I don't know" without any offer to help us find answers. When looking for particular varietals, we've been pointed toward general areas of the store rather than being shown specific options. Even when asking about the wine tasting day was responded with a lackluster disinterested response. As wine enthusiasts who genuinely want to learn and make purchases, we find ourselves leaving without buying as much as we'd intended, or sometimes leaving altogether to shop elsewhere. We know this isn't the experience you want for your customers, and we really want to continue supporting you. We thought you'd want to know so you can make sure all customers receive the knowledgeable, engaged service that makes shopping at an independent wine shop special. We're rooting for your success and hope this feedback is useful. Thank you for being part of our community!

I'm so glad I found this place! The moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and care that goes…read moreinto every corner of the shop. The selection is incredible--thoughtfully curated bottles from familiar favorites to unique gems you don't usually see elsewhere. The staff is super knowledgeable without being pretentious. They take the time to understand what you like and make spot-on recommendations every time. Whether you're picking up a casual weeknight bottle or something special for an event, you'll walk out feeling confident and excited. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and honestly just fun. It's the kind of place that makes you want to hang out, learn, and try new things. If you love good wine or even just want to start learning about it, this is the shop you need to visit. Easily a 5-star experience every time!

BevMo used to be known for its excellent selection of wines, beers and spirits from around the world, many small labels not found anywhere else. BevMo is now a glorified gas station market with rows of chips. canned foods, cleaning and beauty products. I get it, owner GoPuff is just giving the people what they want but its depressing to see the end result. Overheard this conversation-- Customer--."where's the Cognac"? Clerk: -- "what's that, a beer"? At a minimum your staff should know about the main product you sell .....or you can continue circling the drain and see where that takes you!
