I've witnessed other customers telling him how rude he is- including a woman he didn't offer any kind of bag or box to that had multiple items. Zero out of 5 recommend - honestly fire this clown.

Same cheese quality, same wine selection and craft beers, and same lovely service (I caveat depending on who is in the store, it is VERY well known among regulars (intimidating/weird vibe type of thing) but we overlook it and come back later, because we love this business and the family that runs it. Of course when you walk into the Hopkinton store, you miss the oh so familiar and intoxicating aroma of Chef Mike L's food!!!!!! So, get in the car after you get your wine and drive over to Marlborough and grab one of Mikes' delectable, addictive and crave worthy sandwiches and soups - then all will be in balance in the Universe!!! Many more years of success to the Vin Bin Family!

Oh, dear, my cheese palate has been gentrified. We were offered tastes of whatever we wanted to try…read moreand omg what a game changer. Cabot is no bargain after I've had cheese so superior. Will have to put myself on a cheese budget. But it is easier to have less when the taste is so unforgettable. Great service. Just hope they get the sandwiches that they already sell in Marlborough. I live in Hopkinton and we could use some great sandwiches. My very own Italian sub is super-good (learned from a deli in Westport, CT, in the '70s. No longer there of course. Like McDonald's Subway has co-opted the best about our 20th century foods and turned it into some of the worst. It's great that there are no fast-food options here. If you have a few minutes and want to have some fun, go to Vin Bin.

I had the same experience as one of the other reviewers with the old guy cashier at checkout. He…read moredoesn't say one word to customers, not a "hello" or "thank you". He barely takes his eyes off the TV to make eye contact with you, and the last time I was there he basically grabbed the cash from my hand. Just to inform people I will comment on a review below before this one - that guy isn't the owner. Che, the owner, is friendly and chatty about his inventory. It's a good store other than the cold customer service at checkout from that one guy. All the other employees are friendly.

Decent wine selection with competitive prices. However the owner is super unfriendly. No hello or…read morethank you even if you say hello or how are you. Just rings up your purchase impatiently. It's as if he's bothered with the task of taking your money. It's close to grocery shopping so convenient but last time in to buy a couple of bottles of wine he gave me a lecture on buying more wine for the case discount. Not really an FYI but more an exasperated "you should buy more wine from me" tone. All the other employees are friendly and helpful.

Coming from a big city like Las Vegas, this little wine store is what you hope to find when you come to New England. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of flashy stores and wine bars with enomatic wine systems and tasting credit cards, but it's nice to walk into a shop that looks like someone's HOUSE from the outside. Space is a little cramped but the shelves are filled with gems priced under $20. Yes, there's certainly pricier bottles but I wasn't in the market for that this day. The interior is invitingly merchandised and you'll find a fair selection of cheeses for a small place like this. Instead of the expected one bottle I walked in to purchase, I bought four. I had a chance to meet the proprietors and they were gracious and helpful and so was their staff. They have wine tasting classes and free wine tastings on Fridays from 5:30 to 7:30. What a great way to end a busy work week!

However great their craft brew selection is, they are more focused on fine wines with the obligatory 40oz and macro-brew selection in the walk-in cooler. Before I forget they also carry a decent craft spirit line from Scotches to Tequilla and Vodka. Tell your friends; they deserve to know.

The gentleman told me they had the Screwball whiskey and the tequila I wanted, but not the Travellers whiskey. So I bought the 2 items he did have and headed for the door. When I was almost out, he called me back and said inventory showed they had 6 of the Travellers, so he looked, found it, and I bought it. But wouldn't it have made sense to look for it before telling me didn't have it? Other than that, nice little place. I'd go there again.
