Such an intimate wine shop with some amazing selections. And not to mention the shops play list is definitely on one! I can spend hours on hours in here learning and sampling wines and just listening to some great music. Hahahaaaa!!! Staff are very knowledgeable about wine and welcoming. They offer wine tastings a few times a week and have a monthly wine club that has many perks and incentives. I'm a lover of all things wine and cheese....so I'm excited to learn more about Bin 201 and all they have to offer. If you're into wines and want to step your wine game up- definitely stop by here and check them out... They have a little something for everyone's taste buds including some National brands spirits and liquors one might enjoy. As well as some craft beers...and what I love is, if it's something in particular that you're looking for and they don't have it in stock, they can certainly order it for you. Happy Yelping! read more

Bin 201 Wine + Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Prices were good, I drink bourbon and these were very reasonable. It was a little dark so I had trouble navigating the store, but I was quickly helped to find the wine I was looking for. read more

Upscale perfection. Enough selection and variety to satisfy nearly everyone. If you are looking for aisles and aisles of the same product go somewhere else. If you are looking for customer service, advice, a good selection, this is the place. When in doubt about a purchase, ask. Convey your price point. Convey what you want in your beverage. They are very helpful and actually listen to what you're saying. read more

Any time I'm in Annapolis I find myself at bin201! Any sort of wine + spirits needs, they have it. Kelsey knows everything, does an amazing job, and even provides me with personal recommendations for whatever occasion. The ambiance inside the store is very low key, and not like liquor stores that I'm used to frequenting. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Very impressed with the free delivery and friendly and smiling delivery person! He arrived to my door with a festive knock, belying the otherwise dire circumstances that would necessitate delivery service! The online ordering process was easy to navigate. The website was well designed and warmly welcomed new and returning customers. After a professional, socially-distanced ID check, the delivery man skipped off my steps with energy and an enthusiastic "Stay Safe!" read more

Bin 201 Wine + Spirits - A case of the $99 varieties, plus 3 types of beer. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I stopped in after grocery shopping next door, hoping to pick up Aperol to make spritzes on this steamy afternoon. I was surprised to see the price was $33+ per bottle - I purchased some locally in the last month for $26.....That's a significant difference! So why the difference in price? Well.....one staff told me that the price GOES UP when and item becomes popular...and another staff chimed in to say that they are a small store and don't get the 'big store discount'. Make yourself a quick trip to Edgewater - another local wine shop, and save yourself enough to buy some prosecco to go with! (the prosecco, by the way, was not inflated in price.....go figure) read more

Secret. This place serves the best fried chicken in town! Just go to the back behind the wine area and ask for Vinny. I got the fried chicken sandwich with vinegar fries with a side of mashed potatoes and almost died. Favorite liquor store/restaurant between NC and NY! read more

This place is great! The staff is friendly and they are happy to assist in with wine selection. Perhaps one of the coolest things about this place is it isn't a pompous wine store, they actually seek to educate people about wine with their classes. My girlfriend and I took the Binology 101 wine tasting class last weekend and had a great time while learning about wine and how to identify proper flavors. We enjoyed it so much we signed up for a tasting next weekend! read more

Without a doubt, my favorite store in Annapolis. Bin201 is one of the best wine shops to which I've ever been. Their staff is bend-over-backward friendly and extremely knowledgable. They have a fantastic selection and it covers all price ranges. I visit the shop a few times per week and generally go in not really knowing what I want. The staff is always eager to help me pick out something new. They ask questions about the things I enjoy, what I plan on eating, that sort of thing. On almost every visit, they've selected something for me and they have yet to steer me wrong. I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed by any of their suggestions. One of the cool things about BIN, too, is that their wines are unusual sections. There are no mass market bottles here. Each is carefully selected and each is worthy (or so I've found so far). Since I moved back to Annapolis last year, BIN has become one of my most frequent haunts in town. I always find something wonderful there, always find someone happy to help me find it, too. read more

Me : do you have any Sauternes wine Them: uhh I'm not sure there's the wine over there So I went to bay ridge liquors instead read more

Amazing, knowledgeable staff that somehow manages not to sound pretentious when expounding on all of the flavor notes and "pairs well with" of the wines. Love that they have a budget wall as well in addition to the great selection of the store. read more

They are so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They also offer so much more that I think I will start making it a point to participate on their other offerings. read more

Great selection...They know their stuff. Taste & ye shall find.

Festive. First of all I love the music streaming out the outdoor speakers at The Town Centre. I was walking out of Whole Foods wishing I weren't in MD because I like when they sell wine in the grocery stores. But then I noticed an inconspicuous Bin 201 on the corner. The only reason I walked in is because of the chalk board sidewalk sign that read "wine tasting" ...way to read my mind. Why have I not noticed this place before? There was a nice crowd of people sampling different wines, bottles stacked from the floor to the ceiling and even cheese and bread out to help clean the pallet. I guess it's okay that MD doesn't sell alcohol in the grocery store. This kind of place makes up for it. Just wish someone would notice me and give me a wine glass. read more

We came in here a couple times. Once to have some tastings and purchase some items, and 2nd time was to check on an order. The staff here is friendly and not intimidating at all. I have been to other tastings before when representatives force their preferences on you or up sell you, however, the staff here does neither. It was more of a conversation of what we liked and the availability of options to try. I have visited this store in the past, so I was glad we were visiting it again. read more

I am rating Bin 201 based on the beer and liquor section only. I have purchased wine and champagne here and I believe they have a thorough, nice selection and found them to be very friendly and helpful. However... I was standing in the back when the owner walked up and said "you look like you're contemplating our well curated beer section". Surprised at the statement and without trying to be rude, I said, "no, I've been in here several times staring at the beer section and usually can't make a choice. It's missing too many cornerstone beers and key styles." He then said "yeah, we unfortunately don't work with the largest beer distributor". I don't know what that means, but it amounts to a beer selection of one or two fantastic, highly rated American IPAs (which I don't care for in the winter months), and some odd craft beers from moderately to unheard-of breweries. Or, for example, only one single porter beer, but it's a smoked porter which requires a certain palate to enjoy. This results in me staring at, and three of four times walking away empty handed. I don't know if Bin 201 doesn't want to work with the distributor or they can't for some reason, but I find the beer selection to be sub-par. For a place that does such a good job on everything else, it makes me wonder if they should just not carry beer at all so it doesn't make one disappointed after perusing. Regarding liquor, the same thing applies although to a lesser extent. In today's age of super, ultra, unique, hand-crafted, rare, gourmet, craft alcoholic beverages, you would expect this store to match what they do in wine with their beer and liquor selections. read more

We were here for a private event in their tasting room. Staff were supportive and knowledgeable. Prices seemed reasonable. The selection is quite broad. The parking garage is close by and convenient. While we did not avail ourselves, staff asked if we needed help carrying our purchases to our car. read more

I love Bin 201. They have an incredible selection of modestly-priced wines. There are always wines available for tasting, and they offer fun tasting classes covering everything from the basics to specific regions. The best deal, though, is the $99 case of the month. Twelve bottles for under a hundred dollars, and you get to sample all sorts of things that you might not otherwise try out. It's a bit out of the way for me, but I love shopping at Bin 201. read more

This place has a huge selection of wine and also does have quite a good selection of craft beers. They collect corks from their opened bottles of wine and whoever was working here that day let me take a bunch for a craft project I was working on so I didn't have to buy any! read more

If you are looking for wine, this might be the place for you however if you are looking for liquor be prepared to pay a ridiculous premium! They are between four and five dollars more per bottle for crown royal than the surrounding stores... I guess that's how they have to pay that high rent in the shopping center. I am adding one star because staff is usually nice, friendly, and knowledgeable but clearly you are paying for it. Disappointed at the crazy prices. If you need help selecting wine, it's fine, if you know what you want, just go to a normal liquor store. Over $38 (with tax)for a 750ml of crown royal read more

Bin 201 is a great wine store. The staff is friendly and helpful and they offer wine tastings. They offer an array of wine at different price points and usually have some good deals going on. There is a small liquor section and a refrigerated section with wine and beer. They also have a rewards program. I wish this place was closer to my house because I would definitely frequent it more. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Bin 201. They are the most friendly, knowledgeable staff with a great selection of high quality wine. They make you feel like family! Go see them! read more

I had no idea that you couldn't buy wine at grocery stores in Maryland. Laws are so bizarre. Luckily, Bin 201 is directly across the way from Whole Foods, and the staff are super helpful. They offer a good deal on a wine club where you get a blind assortment of six wines. It seems like a great way to explore different wines. We stopped in to pick up a bottle for a friend's dinner, not knowing what they were serving or their tastes. A representative showed us a few popular ones, and we were not disappointed. read more

shopping here was always a great experience... I loved how the wines were organized -- great staff and even a rewards program they even took the time to search and order a specific wine that I was requesting there was a small liquor section towards the back of the store - making multiple stops unnecessary - very clean and crisp design -- the store is very well put together and user friendly always wine tastings and monthly events they have staff picks - that are modestly priced.... I didn't ever hesitate to stop in and grab a bottle or 2 or 4 .... swirl.. sniff. and sip! read more

I came in twice during Sunday - the first time was to pick up a bottle for my ex-roomie who loves wine. The associate was very helpful in showing me a selection of pinot noirs and she also went into a bit of detail about the wines. I was very impressed with not only her knowledge (because I know close to nothing about wine), but I was taken aback by the variety offered. I normally shop with their Bin 201's distant relative, Bin 604, in Harbor East. Extra emphasis on the 'distant' read more

I enjoyed shopping at 201 for a few bottles of grape juice. The staff was friendly and knew their business when asked for suggestions and explanation of their stock. The selection was great. I was a bit disappointed with their South African wine selections; but the store has plenty of everything to choose from. It looks like they offer a variety of tasting classes and other activities that would be interesting for me if I lived in the area. The prices are a bit high even for high end wine. I can get many of the same bottles back home in California for much less. But, it is a good store and conveniently located. read more

So so so super excited that I got my butt up early this morning and got out to Bin 201 for their annual BIN-2-OH!-1-DAY celebration (February 1st). After wandering down each and every aisle and checking out their deals for the day, I decided on purchasing two wines in addition to their February Wine Box. Each month Bin 201 picks 12 different and unique wines to be placed into their Monthly Wine Box that they sell for $99.00. On BIN-2-OH!-1-DAY the employees placed prices in some of the Monthly Wine Boxes. This made me nervous because I didn't know which box to pick! I never win anything so I didn't thing much of picking out a box and went with the box in aisle two on the very bottom. At the cash wrap all three employees were begging me to open the box in front of them so that they could cheer me on if I won. I told them not to hold their breath. And...BOOM, SURPRISE! GOT A GOOD ONE! I purchased a box that had a coupon for a FREE WINE BOX! Literally, I won 12 bottles of wine, FOR FREE!!!! *Insert happy feet dance.* So I get to come back up here between March and September of this year and walk away with a box =) Free shopping is the best shopping! I tried to get all my friends up there but no one budged. Their loss! Please note that this retail location has wine classes and wine tastings. The wine classes are amazing! So far I have attended the Binology 101: The basics of wine tasting and have plans on doing the other ones as they become available. Most of these classes are $29.00 - $39.00 a person and are 90 minutes long. The wine tastings are held on Thursdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The tickets are $10.00 with the $10.00 going toward any of the featured wines you tasted during the event. Both the classes and wine tastings require advance reservations. If you can't make it you are able to reschedule or get store credit. On a side note: I absolutely love their take on graphics that they use for advertising and merchandising. Always grabs my attention! Also, Bin 201 has the best employees that love their jobs and do it well. read more

Bin 201 Wine + Spirits - I won! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I always find a new, exciting wine in this place. Service is friendly and not pretentious, the layout of the wine and merchandise is appealing, and the prices are competitive. I belong to the free club where I get points with each purchase. I always stop here after going grocery shopping at Whole Foods across the street. Most recent purchases include 'Slang' Pinot Noir 2013 and Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA. read more

What a fantastic place not only do they have an expansive collection of wines that cover regions all over the country and world but they also have a collection of liqueurs and beer. Bin also holds a series of tasting classes called Binology 101. Recently I attended the Binology 103: Beautiful Burgundy and I must say what a fantastic event! The gentleman who hosted was thorough with history and facts of the region explaining all the components that make up the wines. I highly recommend a stop in for their monthly case for $99 which consist of a variety of wine that are seasonally selected. read more

One of the best wine stores I've been to... The staff knows their wine... I like that

In addition to the wonderfully pleasant and knowledgeable staff, Bin 201 frequently has free wine tastings. I often discover new wines during the tastings. When I feel adventurous, there is also the $99 box of wine special full of different types of liquid yummy! read more

This is my go-to wine shop. They have such a wide variety of choices, and there's always something new to try. Most of the staff is friendly and helpful. I have not been disappointed when I ask for a recommendation. I find the prices to be competitive, and you can often purchase cases at a discount, as with most wine/liquor stores. I have not attended any of the classes or tastings they offer yet, but have heard positive feedback and would like to attend in the future. Wine is their thing, but they do have an ok selection of liquors and beer. If you're looking for the basics in liquor, it's a decent selection but you may not find what you need. The beer selection is on the small side, with some random craft beers. read more

I received fantastic service here today. Sometimes, what a business does to correct an error speaks volumes. My wife and I bought a mixed case last night. The store was busy with people tasting a few featured bottles (Bin201 is great about it) and another customer putting a case together. We figured out this morning that some mistakes were made and so we went back this morning. Not only were they friendly and efficient in making the corrections, but when the corrected sale resulted in me owing a few dollars more, they waived it off. This should be your go-to wine shop. read more

Staff treated me like a piece of s**t. Extremely rude. I will never go here again. I spent 50 dollars a small bottle of liquor and still treated poorly. Stay away. read more

Attended a chocolate tasting with Tuxedo Hill and decided to check out their stock before the tasting started. Loved the selection of wines. We bought two bottles to take home with us after the tasting. I'm so glad to see my favorite truffles connected with (I think) my new favorite wine place. read more
