The staff person I encountered was extremely rude. My boyfriend and I live nearby and, after…read moredinner, walked in to see what they had. There was a man behind the counter who asked a couple of times if he could help us and we kept saying, "no, thank you were just looking around." After perusing the shop for about 10 minutes reading labels and talking about what we might buy the man asked us again. I finally said, "we're not looking for anything in particular, just thinking about what we want to have at home to make drinks". His reply? "Well I have a lot of duties that I can't do while you're here. You've been here for 10 minutes and I have things to do." Not only were his words rude, but his tone was dismissive and annoyed. I am seriously disappointed, especially since there were things that we were actually thinking of getting. I get that you're 25 minutes away from closing time on a Friday, but as someone who has worked in customer service, I would have been fired for saying something like that.

4.5 stars for a fantastic hidden gem of a wine shop…read more When it comes to wine shops, most of them are usually overpriced and/or full of people who just want to judge you for your lack of wine knowledge. Fortunately, my wife and I had a fantastic wine experience at Komi and the sommelier told us that we had to check out Domestique. Boy did we luck out. My wife first made it over to Domestique, which is located in a pretty rough area (no offense to those who live there) over at the intersection of Florida and North Capitol with one of her friends to try some wine and check the place out. After signing up for the venue's wine club (which I believe is $75 a month for 3 bottles of wine plus some free wine tastings), she took me over to check it out. The store is very open and has lots of its bottles up and out in wooden shelves. While the store has some relatively expensive wines, Domestique takes pride in the fact that it sells excellent and unique wine at excellent prices. Rather than make it a status thing, the people working at the store are essentially wine nerds who are really interested in telling you about the wine and finding something new and exciting to try. We went up to the counter on this visit and a nice gentleman greeted us and let us try 4 different wines. He not only gave us the background on each wine, but also got really deep into where it was from and brought up his Mac Book to show us something funny about one of the locations. When we didn't like one of the 4 wines, he was totally cool with us pouring it into the little bucket on the counter and trying something else. He also did a really good job of going back and forth between customers so that we felt like we were interacting without getting too much face time. While the tasting was included in our membership, the fact that it is just $10 a person normally makes it worth anyone coming over and trying. Overall, Domestique is a wine shop that anyone who is interested in wine or interested in getting into wine should check out. While the area is rough, the great and well-priced wine and excellent service make it a trip worth taking.

Lots of new smells! The guy at the counter was super nice, and made sure we felt welcome. Their wine selection is actually impressive, with a variety of countries represented, and prices are reasonable. The beau was super impressed with their beer selection, literally moving from one display to the next, vocally sharing his delight at the variety and smaller craft brews available. "We had this beer at that dive bar in Boulder!" "They have Long Trail! I've never seen that outside of the Northeast!" They also had a nice selection of cider, which was a pleasant surprise. The liquor selection is all behind the counter, which made it a bit difficult to see everything that was there (and also, I need glasses), but it seemed like a good selection. They definitely need more of an online presence, but I liked the spot! We'll likely be back!
