A couple of weeks ago, I went and as soon as I went through the door, this lady rudely said, "Dogs are not allowed! You have to leave." I told her I've brought her in there for years and asked her when this changed. She was adamant this has always been the policy. I LOVE this place - most affordable liquor store near me. But, the fact that I now have to sit in a hot car while a friend gets my liquor is SUPER frustrating. If you don't like dogs, that's your own personal beef. But, this is not a food establishment and I'm not letting my dog walk around (I always hold her), so what's the issue? I get people can be allergic, but in a place that large, and I'm not petting my pup (just holding her), why does it matter? You're literally losing customers because one lady doesn't like dogs...

I used to buy a bottle from Georgia, not the state but the republic, (they used to be part of Soviet Union). I say that because some people looked blank when I say it's from the country of Georgia..dude the U.S. state is named after this district in Europe. At any rate stop in and chat wine, check out the craft and finer beers and spirits which have expanded with this location.

(Maybe eight feet wide and twenty feet deep?) I don't know much about wine, since I get sick when I drink reds due to the sulfate, but I dropped by looking for a nice bottle of white to go with some shrimp pasta my girlfriend and I cooked up. The only person working there immediately greeted me, asked about my preferences, and recommended his three favorites bottles. I went with the one made by Ippolito 1845. No pretentiousness. No eye-rolling. Just very friendly and helpful. Not to mention, the price was reasonable. (Maybe around $20?) Other cool tidbits: -Wines are organized by country. -They carry local brands like Famiglia Meschini. -Has a surprisingly solid beer selection. I think the neighborhood has a gem in The Little Wine Shoppe!

Vinifera is my neighborhood hook-up for the latest beer releases. It's a tiny place, tucked in the…read morecorner of the strip mall on the southeast side of the 6 & 101 intersection. About two-thirds of the ~750 square feet is dedicated to wine, although I rarely purchase wine here. The remaining space is mostly a large cooler with loads and loads of regional craft beer offerings. Living nearby, I drive past 10-15 times a week. Each and every time I debate whether I really have any more space in my beer fridge for something else. Call it a craft beer addiction if you will, but it's also fun to try different stuff. When I finally succumb to temptation, my usual approach is to stride in, nod to the proprietors (an older couple) or manager (a younger, very beer-savvy drinker), check out the new releases stacked on the left side of the counter, and then park myself in front of the coolers. There is always something new to consider, and I do rely on UnTappd to give me a sense of what may be worth trying. Pricing is a bit higher than what you'll find at the megastores, but selection is more interesting and the product is fresher. Vinifera gets regular shipments from Junkyard, Drekker, Brewing Projekt, Drastic Measures, Oliphant, and other premier microbrewers that you can't always find at your typical mom-and-pop liquor store. They do offer a wine club (nominal pre-pay in exchange for discounts) as well as punch cards for multi-pack beers (free multi-pack after 10 purchases). Every so often you can find discounts in the local adverts. Check 'em out when you're in the western burbs. They are only 5 minutes from the 494/394 interchange.

I didn't agree with Gayle's iphone directions to their house, but drove in that direction anyway. That was a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't have seen the sign directing us to Vinifera Wines and Ales. Both Gayle and I were impressed with the wine selection, which we also found to be reasonably priced and extensive for the relatively small space. I also had a wide range of beer choices and ended up with a very tasty winter ale from Bell's. We also enjoyed the store dog, a shy brown retriever mix named Berkeley.
