I have not been able to find any good wine tastings in the Castle Rock area, so I decided to try the next best thing, which was to go to a knowledgeable wine dealer and ask them for some recommendations based on me telling them what I like. Dodds Wine Vault did a great job for me. They gave me four recommendations. All of them were in the strike zone for what I was looking for, and I ended up buying a case of the one I liked best. This is exactly the result I wanted. I highly recommend Dodds Wine Vault. read more

We love going to Wine Vault but we had the most incredible experience with Jay tonight. My fiance bought a bottle of champagne for our wedding next week and there was a slight smudge on the bottle and we wanted to keep this after the wedding. I called to see if I could exchange the bottle and they not only said absolutely but they hand delivered and exchanged the bottle to our house. I have never seen anything like it when it comes to customer service! We go there on an almost weekly basis but will continue to be loyal customers! Thank you again!! read more

The store picks are some of the best bourbon you can find! Prices are fair, and the staff is friendly, educated on what they have, ​and ready to listen to help you find what you​ really want. The feeling you get when you walk in the door is very welcoming. The store sampling experience is very nice as well! You can try many of the options before you buy. ​ read more

Highly knowledgable, attentive folks. They know their stuff in a friendly and unpretentious manner. This is my go to shop for either a great value easy drinker, or to find that special bottle! read more

Update to Dodd's reply: It was YOU who initially offered to deliver because not only am I 'on your way home', 9 mins away-right around the corner - and I had no car. I said I'd get a ride within my email do it's a moot point. SEE SAID EMAIL You replied, indicating Saturday was best for you so I gave you through the end of day on Sunday to make good on your COMMITMENT. Regardless of the delivery: YOU COMMITED TO MY ORDER IN WRITING. SEE SAID EMAIL... Nice try squirreling out of this. Just take accountability. Pathetic. Update to my prior 5-Star review: Ordered my typical delivery with an expectation of a 1-2 day turnaround and rec'd a personal reply from Owner that he was on it... 1st day goes by, and nothing: no word from them nor my delivery. 2nd day goes by, and STILL nothing: no word from them nor my delivery. Late eve of the 2nd day I emailed the owner and said not to bother with my delivery. Following day I receive a 'thanks' from the owner but NOT any sense of accountability or explanation for the screw up or any ounce of an apology. Wait, what? What company doesn't at least acknowledge their screw up, OR atleast try to make the sitch better? Dodd's: I'm sure you will will want to NOW reply for the others reading but it's way too late to acknowledge this. And I've been a great customer to you. read more

This is the best private, small-business, liquor store I have found in the metro area. They always have high-end, hard to find bottles of wine, champagne, and whiskey. Even the beer cooler is stocked with an amazing selection. The problem is walking out without buying everything. read more

The staff is very welcoming, and the location is cool, with a great selection of fine wines.

Great place for wine and a lot of help. Always happy. Not the best service there but fantastic

Everyone at the store is awesome and incredibly helpful. They happily help answer any questions you may have and can provide great suggestions. The selection is great, and I don't plan on needing to go anywhere else. read more

Great spot for wine shopping! Very knowledgeable staff, locally owned, competitive pricing. The only place that I buy my wine! Highly recommend! Great wine club offerings as well. read more

Stopped in at 6:35 for a 4-7 p.m. wine tasting. There were wine reps introducing wine to the owner, which made it appear like a tasting was still happening, although it wasn't. The owner told us that the shop was closed because they had no customers. The reps (who were not employed by the store) were amused that we came from Leadville for a wine tasting--while they were standing around drinking wine. However, the rest of the story: We contacted the owner, Mr. Dodds, who told us that they they have not had tastings at that time for some time and apologized for the behavior of the wine reps. I checked the source of my information about the tasting (which I had found on my phone enroute) and found that it was indeed more than a year old and was posted by the shopping center, not the Wine Vault. Mr. Dodds was very friendly. We told him that we had visited and loved Ruby Trust wines, and turns out he owns that, too. He even offered to take us out for a beer when he is in Leadville. It makes sense to contact an owner directly--it turned out I was also in error. (But yes, the shopping center really should change the post about the wine tastings.) read more

My husband and I stopped in last weekend while driving around; we are always looking for a new place with a fine wine room to peruse. This place was wonderful! The owner (Brayden) is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I am fairly new to the world of fine wines, and he answered every question I had with the utmost courtesy and understanding. Not once did I feel like he was looking down at me due to my "inexperience". My husband and I are headed to Napa (my first trip) and he gave us the names of a couple of wineries we would have never found on our own. The best part- he has some amazing wines for unbeatable prices! I highly recommend this little gem if you are looking for the higher end wines that can be a little more difficult to find. A fantastic find! read more

I stopped by here while I was on vacation and was very impressed! The owner was very helpful in my decision making and lead me in the direction of picking a wine my friends feel in love with (and the best part was, they could afford to buy it again!) the place is located in a darling center and their selection was fantastic! I only wish there were more of these around...it's not everyday you get this kind of help and recommendations! read more

This place is under new management. I recently stopped in and the staff was very helpful I was able to pick up 2 bottles of vino Verde for a great price. Gone is the former snotty uppity management. Good wine selection with a variety of prices too but only a few beers. read more

I drive by on my way into Denver and love this quaint shop. The owner really knows a lot about wine and has never steered me wrong in picking a good bottle. Great prices too. By the way, I love Yelp...very helpful site. read more

Very cool small liquor store with a consistently great selection of bourbon/whiskey.

Outstanding local wine shop. Braden, the owner is a sommelier and wine maker for his own CO label, Ruby Trust. Extremely knowledgable and offering a bewildering variety of wines for any occasion and budget, this is a can't miss wine shop. Ruby Trust is rapidly becoming a 'cult wine' classic in CO. They get very busy on weekends, don't be afraid to ask questions or for help, they'll absolutely point you in the right direction. Highly recommend. read more

This is hands down the best wine shop I have ever been to. I will continue to purchase all of my wine and spirits at Dodds. The selection is exceptional on every price level, and if for some reason it's not in the Shop, chances are Braden or Brad can get it for you. You can't go wrong with Dodd's Wine Vault. read more

Great shop and insanely nice staff. We have had multiple interactions with the Ruby Trust owners and they have been more than kind to us. Not to mention, the wine is incredible. read more
