          Eric and I have researched our selection quite extensively. I worked in the importing and distribution side of the industry for a number of years before transitioning to store ownership.

    1. Hi James,

      Thank you for you input. We certainly don’t want to be thought of as pretentious. Eric and I have a passion for wine and education. We want our store to be accessible by everyone. Half of our wine selection is at $25 and under for this reason. We hope you will give us a chance and check us out.

      We look forward to meeting you!

      – Mike
