Established in 2009, this destination has become a trusted favorite among both collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, offering a well-rounded inventory of over 22,000 bottles across 2,000–3,000 SKUs. The collection features highly sought-after collectible wines alongside an excellent selection of everyday varietals at approachable price points, appealing to a broad range of customers.Housed in a historic 1892 building that underwent more than $1 million in renovations in 2011, the nearly 4,000 sq. ft. property features elegant architectural details, copper roof accents, and modernized infrastructure. The facility includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, flexible retail and event space, and a full liquor license with Sunday and 2 a.m. privileges—ideal for tastings, dining, or private events.
