I don’t live in Bethesda, but this is probably one of my top 3 favorite wine shops in the DMV. I can always find something interesting and affordable here. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. I always stop by here first before visiting friends in the area.

I stop in every 6 months when I’m in Bethesda for a meeting. I know that I can always find a really nice wine for under $ 20 to enjoy for the few quiet evenings until I fly home. The staff that I’ve encountered have always been friendly and helpful. I especially love that they generally have a couple of South African wines available.

The woman who we encountered working there was an absolutely a pleasure to talk to. She helped me find a wine called Educated Guess, and though it was a little more than I’m used to spending on a bottle of wine… it was freakin’ delicious. She told me that it was her favorite Cabernet Sauvignon, and that also a lot of NIH people love to buy it because of the scientific drawings on the front. We got into a conversation about wedding venues, not for me, but for my roommates sister. Such a sweet woman. She told about how the wine selection is carefully curated. Can’t wait to try out more wines!

This is a very convenient store in Old Town Bethesda. They offer great service and know what they’re talking about. It is more expensive, but not by much and bear in mind the rent is very high here. I love seeing the street signs they set out with funny messages or specials.

A gem in the heart of Bethesda. A well organized wine and beer store with an interesting inventory of less mainstream wines and a great beer selection. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have recommended them(in particular Justin) to friends who used them to get the wine and beer for a big party they were hosting — they could not stop raving about the recommendations, the price point and the customer service. Stop by for a tasting and make sure you are on the email list to take advantage of discount days!

Rolled through to buy booze for the office Christmas/Solstice party. Decent balance of options to satisfy both the Everyman and the Snob. They still had 2 cases of Hell or High Watermelon in the fridge but the guy winced to admit that they were fresh out of Fireside Chat and wouldn’t be able to get more in til next week. Good spread of local picks– Heavy Seas, Dogfish, Flying Dog. Ginger beer available as a mixer, some Popchips and chocolate on display. Wines pretty logically organized. Both gents on the floor were friendly and helpful, as was Angie on my return visits. Open to making wine recommendations, which is great since they avoid purchasing from mainstream winemakers to offer competitive pricing on uncommon wines. Conservatively sized but enough potential to be one of my new local booze shops; sign up for their email list to watch for subscriber discount days.
