We were unawares of this and had gone there looking for some gourmet snacks to bring home to relatives. The bottom floor holds the liquors while the upstairs holds the wines. Very large selection of liquors (even Japanese surprisingly). In a corner, in the back (on the bottom floor) there is a very small selection of cheeses & prosciutto if you have guests over and don't have time to make another stop to grab some snacks to go with your drinks. In the front by the cashier, there is also a small selection of cookies, biscuits, and canned goods (sardines, olives, etc). We bought 2 bottles of wine that were reasonably priced to make sangria and it turned out great! Definitely stop by if you need some wine/liquors.

Pricey, but good recommendations…read more The times I've gone in searching for a bottle to take to a dinner party, I've been given good bottles that nicely accompanied the meal. They specialize in local varietals, with prices starting at just under 5 Euros... and a lot within the 10 to 15 Euro price point. They also have a good selection of cavas & champagne, and top shelf whiskeys & cognacs. I've found lots of great and much cheaper wines at other bodegas, but not in this area... and i'm never prepared with extra bottles... so it's Vinus & Brindis for when i'm seeking a last minute bottle.

Gayle and I decided to skip the Bus Turistic and walk back from Parc Güell to our Hotel near the…read morePlaça de Catalunya. It was a pleasant walk down a pretty tree-lined street in the Gràcia neighbourhood. The only odd thing was early in our walk where we encountered a heavy black-clad police presence and enough "secure" Paddy wagons at the ready to handle a fairly significant protest. Maybe it was early, as the only hint of that we saw were some "Occupy"-related protesters on the main street just down the hill from the Parc. It was now early in the evening and security precautions gave way to couples and families enjoying some free time out on a warm October evening. We walked hand-in-hand, talked, laughed and agreed that this was one part of our Spain Vacation that we enjoyed a lot. Another part was having a chance to talk to the locals (in the broken language of choice) as they went about their normal business. And so it was as we entered this Vinalium, looking for a nice bottle of white wine to share later. The young guy at the Counter was friendly, knew his wine, and had a recent vinticulture-related trip to Nueva York to add to the conversation. We made a nice selection, but hearing his descriptions of regions, nose, acidity, etc. was more than half the fun. We talked a bit about California wine, our Spain wine experience to date (Liébana, Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Txakoli, etc.), and how reasonable wine pricing was here (in both restaurants and stores). It was one of those short random moments that sometimes shine a special light on an already wonderful vacation adventure.

At Vins Xic Gourmet, their wine selection in the back room is especially good (see photos here & on their Facebook page). If you happen to find yourself staying on Carrer de Casp (which we did), this is a good neighborhood gourmet food place to visit, for just about anything you might need. The owner is also very nice & friendly ^_^
