This is one of the best wine stores that I have ever been in. The staff is fantastic 🤗. The selection of beer and wine is from all over the world. If they dont have what you are looking for they will order it. This store has regular wine and beer tastings weekly from 5-8pm on Fridays. The prices are reasonable and affordable. I love it!

Best place in the city to buy beer. The employees here know their stuff and are great at pointing you in the right direction. They also have an excellent wine selection and even all the proper glassware you need to enjoy your beverages. Pair that with some food from their gourmet selection and youre all set. The folks here really have thought of it all.

Great selection of wine, beers, and mixers. They have wine tastings regularly. The staff is helpful and can help you make a good decision at various price points. I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by some of their recommendations that were by wine standards comparatively “cheap”.

Review №32

To Pete, Rob, Bob, and the whole staff: Nice job.Richmond is a relatively small city, so as I would expect the actual number of beers they have is small to medium. BUT they have a great selection, showcasing the local breweries and even from those out West. They definitely have a great taste for beer. I mean, they carry some brews that you cant get out West.The staff as a whole is made up of some of the nicest people. I got so much stuff, mainly for my buddy, that they hooked me up all sorts of boxes and packing material so that the goods dont get damaged when I bring them over to his place.They even have weekly breweries come in for a tasting, I think, weekly on Fridays.

Amazing selection, a true neighborhood gem in Bellevue. They are always willing to answer questions about whats coming in, what a good selection would be, and have great tastings weekly on Friday nights. Other great events happen periodically as well.

Review №40

A good selection in the store, but just left from a conversation about purchasing kegs for a reception and feel deflated. The person we spoke to was off-putting, did not listen to what we wanted, and instead assumed and judged us. Ive otherwise had good purchase experiences here, but I will not be using them for this order.

I like going here if Im looking for a hard-to-find specialty beer, and they can order something if they dont have it in stock (call ahead and check). Main complaints are that the prices sometimes seem too high and I often catch a which of cigarette smoke.

The owner of this business is a tool. He has insulted me , my wife and one of my employees. If you park in his lot he will harass you before you even get a chance to give him your business. There are quite a few shops in the area and limited parking, so people tend to park where they can. I was there to pick up some items from a store around the corner and had intended to go into Once upon a vine, on my way out. But then I was harassed by the owner so I just left and will never return.

This store shares a parking lot with other local shops. I parked my car in front of store to shop the stores on this block and the owner actually came out of store to tell me to move my car...with no other customers in sight. Not friendly or inviting at all. I was embarrassed and will shop elsewhere. Run off by the owner!
