Always love coming back to this place. The owner always lets me pick his brain about anything wine and doesn't pass on judgment of lack of experience. I simply love coming to places that are not only friendly but where the people that work there get pumped taking about their product. I live in denver area but I make a point to come to these guys to do my amateur wine making projects. Thank you for making this hobby fun for everyone. read more

I went to this store for cheese making supplies, and they had everything I needed. They have all the basics, though the prices are quite high. I was also hoping for a bit of friendly advice on my new cheesemaking ventures, but what I found was that, while these folks are knowledgeable, they also know it. They were surprisingly rude, and had a know-it-all sort of attitude that made me not want to go back. (In fact, the guy actually rolled his eyes at me! Yikes!) In the future, I'll purchase my supplies from cheesemaking.com. They are the exact supplies this store sells (I'm sure it is who they order from) and I won't have to worry about treated as though I am ignorant. I'm a big fan of supporting local, but not if they are going to be rude to me. read more

I have used Amber Floral/Lil Ole Winewaker a multitude of times for beer and wine making supplies. They have. always been helpful and friendly. They have a good selection of supplies. I know they are more expensive than websites but that is to be expected of a brick and mortar business. I enjoy going in and talking to them. read more

After spending $1000 dollars over just two years as a wine making hobbyist I discovered their return policy, no exceptions store credit with a receipt. For a small $5 purchase one would think they would make an exception since it is her, the owners policy! Too bad they lost a customer for good as this is not a local business that I will EVER use again. I will start my online shopping for my future needs as well as my yogurt and cheese making! They have no experience in making a customer a customer for life and just lost my business that will no doubt be $500 a year till I die. read more

My experience was not at all like the first reviewer. Went in for cider making supplies and advice. Staff was friendly, encouraging, and helpful.. Store stocked everything I needed. Am on my way there now to get more supplies! Lil' Ole Winemaker might be the only game in town, but so far they deserve high marks from me. read more
