I'm visiting Baltimore and was referred to stop in Bin 604. I was greated upon arriving and I had asked if they do any tasting which they just happened to be one the night before and the bottles where still available to try. The staff was very engaging and very knowledgeable about the wine I tasted. Bin 604 is very stocked with a great range of wines some spirits and a bit of beer. They spent a nice amount of time with me and helped me pick out a very nice bottle of red wine after I explained what I enjoy. I will most definitely come back to purchase more. Keep up the good work read more

Easily the most knowledgeable staff and well curated inventory in Baltimore. The best value is their $99 discounted mixed case which works out at around $8 per bottle, nice variety and all good quality. Many harder to find mid-level and high-end choices too particularly French and Spanish. Enjoyable shopping experience and easy location. Note: they have dedicated free 30 minute parking at the back door, 2nd level of the Whole Foods parking garage. read more

Good selection, but pricey and on the higher end side. Most of the staff are decent, but I did deal with a few of them over the years that didn't know what they were talking about when it came to a particular wine, manufacturer, blend, etc, but tried to fake their way through...an attribute that always irks me, no matter what the topic. Street parking around here is kind of a pain. It's a fairly densely populated section of Baltimore. If it weren't for being right next to Whole Foods, I probably wouldn't have come here all that often. There's nothing necessarily wrong with this place, but it wasn't my favorite place to buy wine in the city either. Give it a shot and make up your own mind. read more

I was in Baltimore for a conference and was walking around on some down time exploring the Inner Harbor. I noticed both Whole Foods and CVS don't sell alcohol and I was really in the mood for some celebratory champagne. I saw someone with a Bin 604 shopping bag and asked him where it was located, I was happy to discover it is right next to Whole Foods, so I grabbed some dinner and went to Bin 604. I walked in and looked at the fridge near the door and only saw cold beer and wine. Beginning to feel disappointed the sales associate asked me if I needed help, I said yes a cold bottle of cheap champagne. She was really helpful and not offended or annoyed I said cheap and she directed me to this Spanish cava for $12.99. Perfect. They also have it chilled in the back room so she went and got me a bottle. Everything was so pleasant about this experience I went back 2 more times during my stay for more champagne. read more

Great selection. Little pricey. Service is AWESOME! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. I wish someone would ask me to join their rewards program. They always ask if I'm a member but they never say anything when I answer no. read more

If you're looking for the best wines, this is the shop for you. They don't have the huge selection some of the warehouse stores have, but they do know their wine. A great selection of more obscure European wines and a knowledgable staff make this a shop for true wine lovers. I even found a wine from a small-ish Italian winery we visted on our last trip to Italy. The prices are just OK, but what you pay for is a sense of selection of good wines without all the filler. Plus, ask these guys a question, they have a reasonable anser. Want to know about a wines acidity, ask them. Want to know how a wine compares to a similar wine froma different region? Ask them. I don't shop here all the time, I wish I could, but it's just too far a trip and for simple purchases the trip isn't warranted. However, if I lived downtown, i would do most of my wine shopping here. read more

George Ann is a genius. We came here on National Rose Day (a hero among holidays) and had a lovely rose tasting, led by George Ann! She was so friendly, and knowledgeable, and was excellent at conveying her knowledge with humor. My friends and I walked away with 3 bottles of wine and lifted spirits. This store is really fancy so no yellowtail or two buck chuck here! read more

I was visiting Baltimore and staying in the area. I needed to get a bottle of wine and saw this place was highly rated here on Yelp. The guy who greeted me was very helpful to me - who knows next to nothing about wine, although if I would have known how close I was to Whole Foods, I might have shopped there instead... Four stars for service! read more

As others have pointed out Maryland's dumb liquor laws mean that Whole Foods can't sell wine, but Bin 604 is conveniently located right next to them so you can get your shopping done in one place. It's not a huge store but the selection is quite good considering their size. One thing that does make Bin 604 stand out is the level of service. I'm fairly clueless when it comes to wine and the staff has always been wonderful about helping me pick out bottles that are tasty and a good value. read more

When I am out of town and have a car, I try to hit a wine shop to look for wines that I may not find in my own state. I walked to this shop from the inner harbor, it is connected to a whole food supermarket. I got the recommendation to go here from friends who live in the area. It is a small store and they conduct wine classes in the middle of the store, one was going on during my visit, it was full and looked like fun. Wine is arranged by type and by country. They were offering a wine tasting of 4 different wines while I was there, can't confirm if it a everyday thing, I went on a Saturday. Staff were all over you in a friendly way. I normally shun advice in a wine store but I caved. I liked that they asked what I liked (type, taste, ect) as opposed to what they like. The prices are on the high side, which could be interpreted as a sign that they are buying quality wine, which there were many of, but I can get a monkey to pick a $35.00 bottle of wine and it has a better than average chance of being good. Give me a $10.00 bottle and I will be impressed. Many of there cheaper bottles are common massed produced stuff I can get anywhere. I purchased wines in the $16.00 to $35.00 range which was a good portion of what they had. So far all pretty good. Not a value store, maybe because of the rent they pay being next to whole foods, but not a bad wine store. I could buy some of the pinots several dollars cheaper at stores that I go to, but at the location they are in perhaps the price is justified. For larger case purchases of wine I would still go elsewhere, but if you want to try a wine that has a good chance of being tasty and you can stomach the prices, please go for it. read more

Great selection of wines, convenient location and knowledgeable staff. Additionally, if you register with the shop, they track your purchases and can help you buy a wine that you previously purchased and enjoyed. read more

Dog friendly!!! I live in Little Italy and shop at Bin 604 weekly. I recently found out they are pet friendly! I was able to let my two yellow labs come in and sit while hubby shopped. Awesome!!! Plus the staff is very friendly... read more

On two of my visits I was disappointed that they didn't carry the wines I was looking for. I understand they aren't able to stock every wine under the sun, but you would expect them to carry wine from one of the biggest vineyards in Maryland. However I had to give an additional star just because the employees are so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the product. You can go to a warehouse of a liquor store and find a more vast wine selection but you won't be able to get the level of customer service you find here. Definitely stop by if you are learning about wines and trying to figure out what you like. read more

The place is really nice, a little overwhelming at first but the nice girl working there came right over to help. She asked a few questions and then picked a bottle out. I wasn't one to argue, so just took her recommendations. Both bottles were awesome. She picked out Les Fosses of Hareng - Vouvray 2008 for me. Wow, it was amazing! Very balanced, a little sweet, a little dry, just right. I noticed they had some nice microbrews as well. read more

This is a nice cozy spot between whole foods and Mac. They have an awesome selection of organic wines. Some beer and liquor is available too. They carry all kinds of wines so prices vary depending on your taste or your wallet. Check their website for events and wine tastings scheduled. read more

Centrally located wine store in harbor east. The staff is helpful and know their stuff. I wanted a sweet red wine and they had exactly what I wanted but it was kind of pricey. I always come here and will always go back! read more

I do not claim to be a wine buff by any means, but I do like to drink the stuff, so every time I go to the Whole Foods in Harbor East, I can't help stop in Bin 604 to pick up a couple of bottles. Bin 604 has a large, always-changing selection of wines that range from as low as $10/bottle to really high-end fancy stuff. The staff is really friendly and make great suggestions that fit your taste and budget. They always have a selection of "bargain wines" that won't break your wallet but still taste great. Several times a year, bin 604 will host wine tastings that usually cost around $30, but you get to try a lot of different wines, and you also receive a coupon towards the purchase of one of the featured wines that evening. Bottom line: great selection, convenient location. read more

One of the best wine tasting classes I've ever participated! They offered a beautiful cheese selection from whole foods and the explanations were deep and simple. I simply love this place and the staff is well informed!!! read more

Conveniently located across the street from my office. Bin 604 has a good variety of wines, especially some good bargain priced selections. The staff is always very polite and helpful. read more

The staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. They provide great recommendations from a nice selection!

This wine shop is conveniently located right next to Whole Foods so it makes food shopping much easier. Great, fresh food and high quality wine all in a quick stop. The staff is very friendly at this shop and they have a wide range of wines from local to import from cheap to mucho expensive wines. The only thing that I wish that they had is some sort of data base in the store that keeps track of what the customer buys so that they can look it up in case the customer forgets the label (there was a wine shop in dc that did this and they were awesome--they even would email when similar wines came in so that I could go taste them). All in all for selection and for knowledgeable staff this store earns 5 stars. read more

Great selection! I am able to find some of my favorite California wines that are hard to track down in MD, prices are reasonable, wine club discounts are great, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. read more

Wine tasting night, the atmosphere was less charming, and with a community exclusive feel. Pretense of knowledge of certain wines, and mostly Franco-bias. Should explore other geographies; for example, Italy, S. Africa and Australia. Better deals in Federal Hill area. read more

I recently hosted a 20 person tasting at Bin 604 and I cannot say enough about the establishment and the employees. One employee in particular, Sam (the GM), worked with me to help make it a memorable event. With relatively little input from me Sam was able to pull together a menu of items from a local restaurant, working directly with chefs to procure off-menu items. He and his staff also put together an exquisite list of wines for the event that were certainly crowd-pleasers. Whats more, he was able to pull this together right on the budget target I set. With the help of the staff, this event was well put together, classy, and worth every penny. It was also very informative for my guests and I. I am not exactly local to this shop but I will certainly be going out of my way for all my future wine needs. They will also be at the top of my list if I ever host another tasting! Way to go guys! read more

They had a huge selection of wine, that's about all the good I can mention. I met the owner, what a phony he was so arrogant and pompous. Making assumptions that some wines were out of our price range. Incredibly smug and condescending absolutely will never step foot back in this place. read more

I've been to two wine classes here and both were very educational. I enjoyed them both. They have a great selection and are always helpful.

I am a restaurateur and wine maker...Maryland born...live in SF. Worked in Napa for years. This is the only place I buy wine in Baltimore...when here for the holidays. To me, wine shops are like art galleries...I recognize many of the artists they are representing and likewise, I appreciate that they always have a little tasting going on. I just spent a few weeks in the Willamette Valley and was blown away that they had the Ponzi Pinot Gris...just buy it...your holiday guests will be blown away. Had they had the Ponzi 05' reserve Pinot Noir my jaw would have dropped. Right now, I am drinking the G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso...and I am OMG on every sip. All of the employees were familiar with the wine and for $16...you are tasting what would cost you $60 I love Langhe...and if you are not familiar...look it up for your new favorite "value" Piedmont...declassified 100% Nebbiolo or Nebbiolo blended with Barbera of possibly Dolcetto. What else do they grow there for reds...send me a message. All in all...a great experience every time I've stopped in. I walked 20 blocks to get there and it was worth the hike... read more

I have been coveting the $99 box of 12 bottles, that Bin 604 offers monthly. I have never purchased 12 bottles of wine at one time, and it felt like a lot of money to drop for a big surprise. The other side of that, was the potential to learn more, because I am such a novice. I walked in and was looking at the box. The woman who helped me asked all right questions. My worry was that I knew these bargain wines would be okay, but I was only interested in trying about 8 out of the 12 bottles. However, the discount was calling my name. Her suggestion was this: "Tell me what you tend to like. I'll run around the store and get you 12 bottles that add up to about $99 (give or take), and you will go home with wine you know you will like or have interest in tasting." I took her up on her offer and she was only $8 over the $99 guideline. And, there is a much better chance that I will like all the bottles in the case. This was a great customer service experience. Love this store. Also to note, this was my 8th visit to the store. I usually buy 2 bottles at a time, and always take recommendations from the staff. read more

I was hoping to find some unique whiskey that i could take back to the hotel and walked into this wine shop as I was passing by. Not expecting much, I was greeted and helped by an employee was more than versed in her whiskey who made a great recommendation, king county bourbon. I would return if or when I'm in the area in the hopes of having another great experience. Great find read more

This is a good small wine shop that is cashing in on MD law where alcohol is not sold at supermarkets to capture Whole Foods crowd. As far as pricing goes they do have some decent deals here and there, but if you are looking for wines for less than 10$ you will not have a big choice. Their beer selection is rather limited too. read more

I figure since I panned Chesapeake Wine Co. I should explain why I switched to Bin 604. Ok, so convenience was a major factor. I go to Whole Foods a lot and Bin is right next door. I have to say if Bin were somewhere else I probably would still go to them . The staff is so helpful and friendly. You can tell they are all very passionate about wine and they are never condescendin to people who don't have their level of expertiese. I have always gotten good bottles at reasonable prices. I look forward to trying some of their classes in the future. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the city to buy wine for a number reasons. 1. It is conveniently located right by my office 2. It is open on Sunday 3. The employees are super helpful when it comes to selecting a bottle/case of wine. I went in there for one of the $99 case of the month deals for my house-warming party, but unfortunately they were sold out. The guy that was working was extremely helpful in finding me a good selection of wines in order to create my own case for the party - and I got 15% off! The case I made was actually only a little more expensive than the month case, but I was able to pick and choose what went it to it, which was nice. They will even let you try the wines before you buy the bottle, so you know beforehand if you like it or not. 4. They keep track of your past purchases. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone in there and was like - I got this red wine around this date and I loved it, but I have no clue what it was - and they just put your name in the computer, and bam, the bottle you are looking for is ready and waiting! 5. They also have a limited selection of beer and liquor, which is nice if you are mainly looking for wine, but also need to grab something else without having to go to an entirely different store. read more

BIN 604 held a Scotch tasting and would not honor the $20 store credit unless used the same day as the tasting. Leaves a bad taste. How unfortunate. read more
