    Absolutely LOVE this idea of a wine bar and book store, and was SO happy to see this open within walking distance from my beach house. Book selection is small but I still found something I've been eyeing, and the wine is great! I tried some orange wine and took home a sparkling rose.

    It's a cute place and love the idea...wine and books. I didn't have my glasses on...I inquired if the tags on the wine are describing/matching a book (to drink while reading); I just got a "no" and continued on her laptop. Oh well. That would be cute marketing idea. Anywho, I did buy some knick knacks that caught my eye. Maybe I'll stop by another time and get a better vibe.

    How badly I wish I lived in Ocean City, simply so I could come here and read/sip wine! I stopped in on a trip to Ocean City, and am so glad I did. The person working at the store was super friendly and helped me find a book I was looking for - there was also one that I wanted that wasn't there, and she was going to help me purchase it/send it to the store for me. The ambiance and the vibe are soooo cute (photos attached). Definitely stop in if you are a reader!

    Such a cute little place! My friends and I stopped by for a wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon. I loved the vibe of the Buzzed Word - part wine bar, part bookstore, and part wine shop with comfy couches, string lights everywhere, and mid-century modern decor. It was mostly empty, so we sat down at the bar right away and asked to do a tasting. The owner Mickie gave detailed and accurate descriptions of each natural wine we tried (the tasting included 4). I didn't know much about natural wines and while none of them would be a go-to for me, they were cool to experience. We also ended up ordering some snacks - the Smoked Cheddar, Bread & Olive Oil, Losadas Olives, and Dolmas. Everything was delicious, especially the cheddar. After the tasting, we ended up shopping around for a bit and I purchased some cute stickers and greeting cards. I also ended up coming back later to buy some mead from The Buzz Meadery (local to the area), which was delicious. Would absolutely return!

    I absolutely love this place!! I always make sure to stop in when I visit! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. I've never done the wine tasting, but I plan too! They sell a great selection of popular, indie, and hidden gem books as well as a variety of different wines! The displays are always amazing and make me excited to read on the beach!!

    Have had multiple visits over the years seeing this establishment grow and have enjoyed them…read more However this was fourth and worse igloo visit. It was not clear on the website when making reservations that the menus posted were not for the igloos. Even items we asked about on the menus provided were not available (menu said available until 3 pm in igloo, it was 200 but still told no- yet we also couldn't get the steak or rockfish in the igloo. As well, previous igloo visit options provided fondue for 2 (not 5!) and could be altered for one meat and one seafood eater however this time we would've had to at $240 to get both. At minimum $120+$10-$12 extra to add one skewer. Although the ambiance is an "experience" it was not a satisfying culinary experience. As well, it was not clear we couldn't divide our checks up amongst each couple as most all restaurants can do. (Can only do 2 checks, we had 3 couples) It was more cumbersome on the waitress and us than just charging each couple one bill, we weren't sharing food or said put half this on each etc. it was clearly just 3 couples. As for what we did get... if crab dip hadn't had a shell in it I wouldn't have believed it had any crab in it, just cheese flavor. Steak skewer was well done (no choice given) yet veggies were aldente (to say the least). Wine was good but limited selection. I really don't understand why I can eat one think inside yet can't 20' away we would've had a much better experience if some accommodating had been offered on any of the above issues.

    I'm surprised to see so many reviews criticizing the customer service here because we didn't…read moreexperience anything but friendly and courteous folks in the gift shop/ticket office and tasting room. After we took the self guided tour about the history of wine and the vineyard, we ended up at the gift shop which also serves as the ticket office for tastings. The tastings are priced at just $10 p/p for your choice of 6 samples from Nassau Valley's product line of 14 wines. There are crackers to clear your palate, a piece of chocolate to accompany one (the True Blueberry?), and a souvenir glass to take home. We sampled a 2019 Pinot Grigio (Dry), 2019 Cape Rose (Dry), 2018 Meadow's Edge White (Semi-Dry), 2019 True Blueberry (Sweet Red), 2019 Delaware White (Sweet White), and a 2020 Redneck Rouge (Sweet & Spicy Red). I enjoyed every one of the six. We picked up a bottle of  the Meadow's Edge ($14) for my son and daughter-in-law, and a bottle of the Redneck Rouge ($15) for us. All in all, we had a very enjoyable visit at Nassau Valley.

    I've been to different vineyards, but this one exceeded all expectations. Jimmy walked through all…read morethe tastings letting us choose our six and even telling us which foods it paired well with. Great service and such a friendly gentleman. We walked to the museum part of it and it was unexpected. So many paintings, you can see the underground part of it in which has fermentation storage. I can't wait to come back again!
