They had every wine you could choose from. The lady was so nice! She greeted me immediately asked if I needed help I was just in amazement! but I told her I'm just looking around, she said well if you need any help at all please let her know. It was reds, whites rosès etc . There were several rooms in the back and a spin around it was colorful and wine in every section. Beautiful art works which I believe she said it's an art gallery upstairs sometimes I'll have to recheck that. everything was neatly placed, they have Wine tastings, it's pretty cool and a chill vibe here. I'd surely recommend this place especially if you're a wine person.

Upon entering, it was super spacious and had several huge advertisements from brands... even a huge Moscow Mule cup and a huge purple Kings chair by non other than Crown Royal lol. I got my bottle (pineapple vodka, easy to find) and headed to the register to purchase. At the register I noticed that they had an event listing for the store, events such as free alcohol, can you say win!!! The two guys that were working were really nice and even laughed when I joked about the black guy being named Bic (which wasn't his name but what I thought I heard) it reminded me of Kevin Harts movie where he chose the name Bic Mitchum. Nonetheless, this will be my go to store from now on and I will be lurking so that I can make it to some of those free events lol.

Department of Beer and Wine reminded me of my favorite tap room/bottle room called Crooked Lotus in NC. The only difference is Crooked Lotus has indoor and outdoor seating as well as live music and food trucks on the weekend. I really wish to at least see indoor or outdoor seating so you could enjoy your drink among other craft beer lovers and engage with the staff more. An older gentleman (possibly a manager) arrived a little later and briefly spoke to us, he was not friendly and kind of turned us off, but other than that great place!

We have a couple wine shops within walking distance, but we go out of our way (not that far out,…read morebut enough to warrant a car ride) to support Fern Street Gourmet. FSG is sandwiched between One Good Tern Wild Bird store and Simply Fish restaurant in an odd layout of a strip mall off Quaker and Braddock in Alexandria. They have a vast selection of wines, ports, cheeses, caviar, and breads. What keeps us going back, and a lot of our friends talk about this, too, is that there is not a hint of pretention there. The owners are so very helpful, patient and kind. The prices are also comparable to bigger stores and chains. And, of course, they do generous case discounts. We normally buy cases of the Le Petit Duc La Porte (glad I'm typing it because I can't pronounce it) and we get a better price at Fern Street Gourmet than what they're selling it for at Whole Foods. Off-street parking is almost always available here. I know they do tastings, too, but have never been to one. If you're looking for a nice pairing for a special dinner or holiday meal but don't want to feel looked down upon like in some other wine joints, check out Fern Street. Clare, from Tallula wine bar, works here part-time, too, and really knows her stuff.

The service is fantastic, super friendly and helpful, and I love the backstory of the founders (look it up on their website!)

They have a good selection of refrigerated 4 or 6 packs, unrefrigerated single and some ingredients and gear you'd need to brew your own beer.

Overall, I'm a happy customer and would come here again.

Reposting my Google review because there aren't very many recent reviews since UnWined's change in…read moreownership in 2025. TLDR: it's a mess and former customers are concerned. The best word I can use to describe my shopping experience at UnWined as of late is "undignified". I question whether the new owner is actually interested in curating an interesting wine and beer selection for both the novice & educated consumer or if she's just using this storefront as a personal playground with no interest in serving the customers of this established business. In the year since the new owner has taken over, I have seen full-time staff members get fired and replaced with 19 year old part-timers, I have seen the most ridiculous events being advertised that have barely anything to do with wine, and I have seen the most unprofessional behavior happening on the store floor that makes me feel like I'm walking on eggshells (e.i. the owner yelling at customers, flipping out about a broken water heater, getting upset over missing shipments). During the weekends, the entire store feels like a circus with the owner's friends peddling their mediocre goods, and shopping for wine in a relaxed way feels nearly impossible...it's hard to do anything when someone named DJ Thunder Bunny is playing her set, someone is selling you their gluten-free bread in front of the French wine section, and there's a dog adoption drive happening all at the same time. A lot of people, including myself, have just stopped shopping here because it's such an uncomfortable experience now. I hope things change, but I'm not feeling particularly optimistic since the owner has only doubled down on the cringey events. Despite all my negative feedback, I want to give a shoutout to Sparlan. He's a delight to talk to!

I'm always patient with the employees because this is an issue management needs to address ASAP and I know it's a headache for them too having to peek out the door to see if you're here, crazy. Someone literally needs to have a valet style post in the garage to communicate to employees who has arrived. At this point I need to get paid too because I'm having to help other customers figure out what to do as well...the whole process is chaotic for everyone.
