They had a fantastic collection of wine with options that we were amazed to find in a smaller town like Oskaloosa. There was also a substantial whiskey display that looked like a curated art installation that was perfectly styled on some stunning glass and metal shelves. The whole store was spotless and well-stocked -- and the owner, Janet, was very kind and helpful chatting with us about the area and our selections. Two thumbs up!

This ex-Kinny Shoe location had about everything I was looking for, so I considered it a "win". It does a great job covering the basics, using such a limited space, also a few odd-ball thingies that are worth the conversation alone. If you consider yourself a serious drinker or hope one day to become one, check this spot out every month or so. It's worth the trip..

No, it's not the biggest store in the city, but to my mind it has become the best. Why? Three important ways: 1) Best service, never fail. Walk in the store and they ask if they can help, but they stay out of your way if you tell them you don't. Try getting help in some of the other stores? Difficult, typically. 2) Superb selection. Everything I'm looking for and more is here, and the people working here are pros. I asked today about the 200 yr. anniversary Guinness, guy doesn't blink and said they had a run on it but expect to be replenished in tomorrow's shipment. Not an unusual response, particularly the workers in the back who really seem to have it under control. 3) Consistency, see #1 and #2. I get this every time I arrive. No shortages, no folks standing around with hands in their pockets, no bored "when is my shift ending" looks on faces, etc. I can even recycle my wine corks here. I like that. And yet I can still come in and get surprised at what I can find, and that really makes me happy. The convenient parking is also a real plus, and with the laws recently changed the store has gotten larger (no need to separate out things like glassware into another internal "store" etc. Just keeps getting better so happy to revisit this review.

They even carry a small selection of fancy snacks and foods that will pair well with wine.

During the pandemic, I do not go into liquor stores to buy wine bottles. I prefer to call, make my…read morechoices, pay in advance, and have the wine brought out to my car. But without being able to walk around the store, I sometimes need advice and suggestions on the phone. The person I have talked with on the phone at this outstanding wine store is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. I call on the phone, make my choices, and pay in advance. When I arrive, I open the trunk of my car and call to say I have arrived. He brings out the order and puts the bottles into my trunk. I never even had to open the window of the car. I got out of the car only to close the trunk, after he had returned to the store. Next time I will open an account with the store, so they can retain my credit card information. That will make the procedure even easier.

There was no one to wait on me and I wondered about the store aimlessly looking for one product. The clerk told me she had customers and could not help me. So I never went back... until now. I was looking for a special bottle of wine for a Christmas gift. I was waited on, showed several different options and treated very respectfully. Zach was the person helping me and he could not have been nicer. He showed me different wines with different price points and made sure I was satisfied with my purchase. I was overwhelmed with his helpfulness. The cashier was also very nice and courteous. It was a pleasant experience and I was glad I came back. They have tons of parking, the building is easy to access and the store is clean and well lit. There are many different prices on things so you have a range of products from which to choose. Next time I won't take so long to go back!
