I'm so glad I found this place! The moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and care that goes into every corner of the shop. The selection is incredible--thoughtfully curated bottles from familiar favorites to unique gems you don't usually see elsewhere. The staff is super knowledgeable without being pretentious. They take the time to understand what you like and make spot-on recommendations every time. Whether you're picking up a casual weeknight bottle or something special for an event, you'll walk out feeling confident and excited. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and honestly just fun. It's the kind of place that makes you want to hang out, learn, and try new things. If you love good wine or even just want to start learning about it, this is the shop you need to visit. Easily a 5-star experience every time! read more

My partner and I are regular customers at your San Leandro location and really appreciate having a local wine shop in the neighborhood. We love supporting your business and want to share some feedback that we hope will be helpful. We've had a few visits recently, typically when we stop by on Sunday afternoons around 1pm, where we didn't receive the level of service we've come to expect from a specialty wine shop. When we've asked for recommendations or information about specific wines, we've been told "I don't know" without any offer to help us find answers. When looking for particular varietals, we've been pointed toward general areas of the store rather than being shown specific options. Even when asking about the wine tasting day was responded with a lackluster disinterested response. As wine enthusiasts who genuinely want to learn and make purchases, we find ourselves leaving without buying as much as we'd intended, or sometimes leaving altogether to shop elsewhere. We know this isn't the experience you want for your customers, and we really want to continue supporting you. We thought you'd want to know so you can make sure all customers receive the knowledgeable, engaged service that makes shopping at an independent wine shop special. We're rooting for your success and hope this feedback is useful. Thank you for being part of our community! read more

Great source for harder to find products. Helpful staff person/owner who explained difference between products. Nice shop.

Estudillo Corks & Crafts Bottle shop opens where Cordial Bottle Shop was. Inventory isn't as vast as before. The basics are covered. Little decor. Offerings: wines organized by place of origin, large selection of hazy beers, small selection of artisan spirits behind counter. Buys: Caterina Imperial Stout (12 0z., 10%alc, 9.50) -living haus beer co. Really packs a punch. Buzz worthy! one drink = 6 buds.. Incredible Pale ale(henhouse. 6.9%alc, 4.80) -legit IPA, hoppy with a smooth finish. -mosaic hops key with cascade, hallertau, blanc, Velma & simcoe hops in a supporting role. Dauntless Double IPA (Oak. United, 8.8% alc, 5.40) -bolder IPA body, slight bitterness from Cenennial, Idaho7, HBC 586 hops. On draught: -not disappointed with any of these brews. -not a fan of hazy beers which are trending now. -quick, courteous service when I brought beers to counter. read more

I came in on a Monday afternoon and the lady was so helpful with helping me choose what beer and wine to choose for a family occasion. They had a great collection from craft beers to wine. I really loved the packaging of all the craft beers. They also have tequila, mixers and seltzers. The selection was amazing and wish I came here sooner since it's right around the corner from my house! read more

Great selection of beers, wines and spirits! Always something new and the staff are the best.

Amazing craft beer store (not a wine person so I can't speak to that). The clerks have been helpful and kind every time I've stopped in. Such a great selection of everything I love and my favorite breweries: original pattern, ghost town, and laughing monk. With a good selection of IPA, hazy/NE style, pilsners, stouts, porters - recalling from memory but I think they also have more unique things like the reds/browns/gose/farmhouse/etc. I don't think I've walked out of here with anything less than 3 packs the half dozen times visiting. Excellent craft beer selection- love that all the craft is cold, organized, and not cramped with glaring corporate beers! read more

Friendly and great selection. I liked the ambiance and the styling, very inviting ........................................ read more

* Craft beer selection is worse than The Cooler on E 14th and more expensive. * "South African" wine selection? Really? Kind of feel like the owner has never heard of Pinotage before. * Weak spirits selection (Unless you're a Gin drinker), with the previously mentioned markup. 1/10 for copying the previous business owner's retail business model, but poorly. read more

I've lived down the street from this store my whole life, and have seen it go through a few owners and transitions. I can say I've never seen it look so elegant, and chic! I've honestly haven't seen any liquor store look so fancy. They have a good selection of wine and beer. I like how they set up their wine displays by region. If you're getting into wine that makes it pretty helpful! If you are looking for something in particular I'm sure they'd be able to get it. They will also be doing tasting that I am excited for, and will definitely be attending. read more

Great little craft beer and wine shop! Always fresh dates!! ( I have bought too many craft beers from other shops only to realize they are old and out of date ew!) People who work there are very friendly and always ready to help or suggest. When I was pregnant I obviously wasn't drinking, and they carry delicious no alcohol beverages as well. read more

Great selection of bottles and beers especially for the area. Everyone who works there is super nice, too! Sure, it's a bit expensive but show me a bottle shop that isn't. read more

Nice selection of wine and especially recommend the Boylans craft soda, Black Cherry.

Excellent addition to the neighborhood! Estudillo has small batch spirits and craft beers that you aren't going to find at BevMo. Michelle has great suggestions on how to up your cocktail game, be sure to pick her brain. read more

Great little shop. Have found a variety of spirits, RTDs, and beers I ended up purchasing and it has a small, but respectable selection of wines. Staff has been helpful without being pushy. Put in a special order with Michelle and received a call saying the product was ready to purchase in a shorter timeframe than expected. read more

Love this place!! So glad to have not just any bottle shop in the neighborhood, but a DOPE bottle shop. Great selection, great customer service. Highly recommend it! read more

I love going into this store. I always get good recommendations but above all they have a wonderful Pinotage. A wine from my misspent youth in South Africa from a stunning region known for Pinotage, Stellenbosch. This one conjures up the flavors from my memory and is a very good wine to go with the ubiquitous South African braai (BBQ). Lamb is also delicious with this hearty wine and I am delighted to have this store in my neighborhood with their knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great part of our community. That other chap who was such a downer can go to the Cooler place for his Pino. I'll go here. I also got a splendid Belguim beer. Another blast from my past! read more

Super nice and helpful staff that offers great recommendations. Great selection of craft beers. I was able to find a unique beer for my husband's beer club. I can always count on Corks and Crafts to have a special bottle of wine or spirts to bring to a dinner party or as a last minute gift. read more
