I make my own cider here, thought my friends and I could enjoy it and have fun…read more But the rude and racist manager Kim ruined this purchase. I regretted that I have my cider brewed here ever. Kim sang happy songs when I was upset by her suggestion; she yielded to me when I took the 3 boxes out of the store, and she told me she doesn't care whether I would upload her audio in my review or not. BUT, I CARE!!!!!!! I have already had enough, I don't want to hear that again. The Cider which could bring us joy and happiness now turns into the ugly face of Kim, the manager of this store, and the reminder of the racism I got from her. What else can I say?!

Noble Grape is located in Clayton Park area, find the Smitty's and you will find them…read more This store is for the adventurous people who like to create their own wines etc. The store is packed with different varieties of grape juices. They carry some of the top lines. Selection, which runs about $160.00, however is mostly grape juice, so not a lot of water to add. Also it actually comes with grape skins. So this is like a Vineyard in a Box. I use to make wine, this was a great deal. I was actually contemplating, do I want to start back into this again. The selection here was great, the staff were nice, I spoke with Matt Conrad, he knows his stuff, go pick his brain if this is something you are contemplating. What caught my eye, was the wine glasses. I bought these great wine glasses. Bormiolle Rocco, 6 glasses, 82cl, 27 3/4 oz, Crystal for $25.00. A Great Deal! Huge is the word to use here. Now Matt told me, that one full bottle of wine would fit into one glass. Hmm, I have not tried yet, but it is a challenge that I will take. First I will have to find one large straw, or a wine partner. lol But according to google, 750 ml = about 26 ounces. Wow, that is amazing. Who knew I can now hold a full bottle of wine in my glass. Insane! Noble Grape has 5 locations locally and one in New Brunswick. Stop by and have a look.

If you're ever looking to get into crafting your own home brew wines or beer, I suggest this place…read more Any time I've gone there any of the persons working were always pleasant to deal with and willing to help out. Large selection of wine kits, equipment and beer kits available with onsite wine making to save you the trouble of doing it at home. They seem to be more knowledgeable in the wine section, so if you really want to get into the beer making, they have their main warehouse store in Burnside with a much larger variety of beer kits, grains in bulk etc. But the little shop in Cole Harbor has what I usually want. Home brewing is an amazing way to save money, plus all the ingredients are generally 'tax free' since they're considered food items. http://noblegrape.ca/

I love a good wine, so I finally decided it was time to stop paying the NSLC and start making my…read moreown. I'd heard great things about Noble Grape, and have a friend who works at another location who can't say enough good things about the company, so I headed out to the Cole Harbour location, during their anniversary sale. I was pretty sure what type of wine kit I wanted to use, but wasn't sure if I wanted to do it at home or in-store. It was BUSY when I got there, but just had to wait a few minutes before I found someone free to help me. I chatted with the lovely gentlemen who were manning the store that day and let them know what I was thinking. I told them what I wanted to do and that it was my first time. I was leaning towards in-store but wanted their thoughts. They suggested trying it in-store first, and then, if I felt good about the process and was interested in doing more - I could do it at home next time. Either way, they said, we have a 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee. If I don't like my wine, they'll refund or help me make more. Sounded good to me! So, I decided to go with in-store and got started on the process. I picked my kit, went to the cash, paid my bill, and was sent 'out back' (which is just a through a glass door to where the wine/beer is made/stored) to start the process. They explained what was happening as they went along - dump the kit into the bucket, fill with filtered water, and mix. Then I sprinkled the yeast on and that was it! In a few weeks they'd filter it and put it in a big glass bottle. A few weeks after that, I'd be called to come in and bottle it. So EASY! They said I could check-in at any time, and call if I had questions. I purchased myself the package that offers bottle washing, corking, customized labels, and the little foil wraps around top (this is professional wine making, after all!) and am eagerly awaiting the call to come in. Now, I've just got to get enough bottles (only need 15 more) to bottle it up and I'll be set! So far, I'm very pleased with the process and great customer service. I'll update my review once I test my creation!

Love the staff in every store I've been in.......love winexpert. Everybody is so knowledgeable.read more
