Small wine shop in the Findlay Market stretch. Loads of wines from unlimited vineyards. The operator was present and assisted me with making a perfect selection for myself and for a gift. He even gave information on the winery where it is produced. They offer wine tastings on the weekends which I tried last visit. Always a fun experience. They just don't do wines, they stock a decent selection of craft beers both local and national. Got to check this place out when visiting Findlay Market. read more

What a great place to grab a beer or a glass of wine while at Finley Market. Stop in and see Teresa or Amy for some great drinks and conversations. There is a bar inside and some seating outside plus a very good select of wines and beer. read more

Yes they have a great selection of wines varying in price, but they have a pretty good beer selection as well. They even host fun events where they will auction/raffle a rare beer, so you can buy the bottle. I recently went with my beer loving boyfriend to their Goose Island Bourbon County Beer event and he loved it (mainly because he was a raffle winner haha). Overall this is a great place in Findlay Market with friendly, down-to-earth staff members. I'll definitely be back to do one of their Saturday and sunday 11 AM -3 pm wine tastings with my dog (he won't drink, but they are dog friendly) :)!! read more

Market Wines - Bourbon count stout, goose island! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great little wine shop. I don't know anything about wine but my husband wanted to get some mead. He picked out a dry mead for himself and chose the Apple Pie Mead for me. I can't wait to try it! He also picked up some beer and wine. The staff were helpful in finding what we were looking for and the shop is quaint. read more

We stumbled upon Market Wines, while at our Sunday stroll in Findlay Market. At 11:30am the place was already packed. They host tastings on Sundays, which you could get 4 wines for $7 - great deal! We find a spot at the bar and enjoyed a glass of Rose and beer for the hubs. Market Wines also sells a large assortment of wines and beers from all over the world. The staff are super friendly and can help answer any of your questions! Can't wait to go back! read more

We had the best time here, the staff was extremely friendly and kind. The wine tasting can not be beat. We stayed for longer than anticipated because it was such a fun experience. I highly recommend this place. The vibes were amazing. Great to try some new wines, meet new friends, or grab the perfect hostess gift. read more

To say this place is a haven is an understatement. Every person on the staff is helpful, attentive, and kind. Findlay market is a really special community, and market wines holds a lot of that together. Ian and Michael especially are well knowledged, open to accommodating your wine preferences, and are always willing to help. The ambiance needs a bit of work, but i personally love a wooden bar (not as epic as Japps, but that's a different review) and the one at market wines was made well before the 1900s. Old charm and sentiment is not to be unrecognized. Don't judge a book by it's cover read more

Love this place! Market Wines has over 500 wines, and an assortment of beer from all over the world, wine glasses, and beer and wine accessories. Every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm are their Wine Tastings. For only $8.00 you get to chance to try 5 different wines (white and red). I think that is a good deal. If you try the tasting, and want to purchase a bottle of wine (or more) you get $2.00 off your order. It is always packed when when I come in. This is my first time trying the tasting. Even though they are busy, you get assisted quickly (including the owner Michael which was very helpful and friendly). Awesome laid back place to kick back and enjoy your drink. I like how they support local breweries and sell their beers on tap. A must visit if you are in the Findlay Market area. read more

Neighborhood Gem! Low key establishment with a lot of heart and community sense. Best wine/bar specials with a hip staff. And the live music Sundays and their tastings are my favorite! They have a great variety of wine bottles for sale. Dog-friendly!!! read more

Great wine selection, decent prices; unfortunately, the worst customer service of any wine establishment I've ever been in. I'm a level 3 somm, which I don't advertise off the bat. I was treated terribly from the start. It is EVERY time we walk in...so disappointing. I wish that I could like this place, but when you're rushed out, especially when a distributor is there, it is very telling what the owners priorities are. Beware... read more

This is a Findlay Market staple! I'm a wine lover and I love going in, sitting at the bar, and chit chatting with a friend. It makes for a lovely afternoon. It is a small space, but that is part of its charm! read more

Why, oh why did it take me this long to stop by for a $5 wine tasting? My boyfriend and I recently decided to stop by Market Wines while we waited for a table for Saturday brunch at Pho Lang Tang (how else would you kill 20 minutes?) and my are we glad we did. The shop is just lovely, with a well varied selection of wines AND craft beers to satisfy any palate. For $5 you get to try 4 wines and if you're lucky Mike the owner will be around to chat with you about every one of them and give you awesome details about what makes the wine special. There is usually music on the weekends which sometimes could be a miss/hit depending on what you like. If beer is your thing, they've got you covered too. They have a very decent selection of bottled craft beers from around the country and they also have craft been on tap. Every Monday there's usually a beer event that often comes with a keg take over. All in all an awesome place. It has officially become my favorite place to hang out in Cincy! read more

So, do you know anything about wine? No? You've come to the right place. Mike, the proprietor of Market Wines, knows a TON, and he will help you pick out the very best bottle. Yes? You're going to find a great selection and some new friends who will love to discuss your favorite bottle with you. I originally went to Market Wines on a recommendation from a friend who suggested we set up a wine tasting event for Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity Young Professionals. I came down to the Market on a Wednesday afternoon, and people were wandering in and out of the cozy, friendly shop when I arrived. The shop is set up in a very user-friendly and asthetically pleasing way- making it easy to feel comfortable browsing in a "hands-off" way, or to ask for help if needed. I was able to speak directly with Mike and I easily set up our event with him . He was super flexible about giving us the day and time we needed for the event. The cost to us was extremely reasonable as well, which allowed us to generate some profit for HfH. Mike did a fantastic job of picking bottles in a price point that would appeal to a Young Professional crowd. This showed in the fact that almost EVERYONE left our event with a bottle of their very own. I would recommend Market Wines to ANYONE who wants to learn more about wine, become more comfortable with wine, or who just wants to drink wine! read more

Sneak into the inviting doorway as you wander around Findlay Market. You get out of the heat, and step into a vintage feeling, cozy shop full of people and drinks to lift your spirits. They have a wine tasting that is absurdly affordable, and it gives you a good opportunity to cozy up to new or old friends for a good chat. They have an excellent selection of beer, wine and more. It just makes me feel good to support them, and they never disappoint. read more

The number one adjective I have for Market Wines is accessibility. For two reasons: Geographically--they are at Findlay Market, and I'm usually at Findlay Market at least once a week. And Financially--they have wines at an easy price point. I haven't actually gone in looking for an expensive bottle of wine, so I don't know their selection there. But every time I need an under $15 bottle of wine, this is where I go. I don't waste time browsing, I just say to Michael: "I'm cooking fish tonight in a cream sauce with asparagus, show me something under $10" or "I'm going to a dinner party, I have no idea what they are serving but they don't have very sophisticated palettes so show me something under $15". And then he walks me over to a wall of wine, picks one and says "This one". I love that. I can also go in and say, "I'm feeling Tempranillo today" and the same magic happens. As I said, I haven't yet been in to ask for something pricier, like "I need a $50 bottle of wine that is going to make someone feel like I paid $75", but he can probably do that too--and if he can't, he can recommend something else. I also love his wine tastings, though I haven't been in a while. They are great ways to learn about "everyday" wines, and it seems that every time we go we meet great people. read more

Always a great time for a wine tasting here. Mike the owner is always spot on with great pairings! read more

Market Wines - Really nice wine tasting today to finish off a nice holiday weekend! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Listen up, people of Yelp: There is not a better wine shop in all of Cincinnati. Yup, that's right. I said it, and I stand by it too. Michael Maxwell is everything you want in a wine shop owner: * In his shop, he's omnipresent; I have never stopped in to find someone else tending the bar in his stead. * He knows his wine because he drinks his wine & he suggests wine that he likes, not the wine that makes him the most money. I love wine & I know it pretty well. Whenever I ask for recommendations form people that work in wine shops, their suggestions uniformly suck. But not at Market Wines - I've never gotten a bad recommendation from Michael or any of his folks. I trust him so much that I let him pick out the celebratory champagne I bought for the birth of my daughter. That's trust. * He knows beer too, and gets in beers I have a problem finding elsewhere. His shop isn't big, but he knows how to use the space. His is the only shop I've found to reliably carry beers from the Dark Horse Brewery from Michigan's U.P., one of my favorite breweries. He even gets in their specialty beers .... But best of all, Michael loves Findlay and the neighborhood. I used to work at the market when I was a teenager & I shopped there with my Grampa when I was a tyke; I have a deep and abiding love of the market. So does Mr. Maxwell, and that makes him tops in my book. Go here now, have a drink & be happy. read more

Very friendly service at Findlay Market, they were lifesaver for a last minute party gift, as my local shop was out of my go to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - thanks for saving the day Market Wines! read more

Market Wines is the best wine shop I have ever visited- anywhere. These folks know their wine and are always willing to help educate you about it. They also have a killer beer selection. Whether its the dead of winter, a bright summer day, I love the Saturday wine tastings. Not only do I get try a selection of great wines, but meet interesting people! The wine tastings are only $5 so its also a great deal! read more

After discovering this gem of a beer & wine store, I will never buy a bottle of wine anywhere else! All of the employees at Market Wines are friendly and fantastic but, Mike the owner has never disappointed me as a customer! Mike will sometimes seek me out as I'm wandering aimlessly around the store trying to make a decision; which in my eyes is top-notch customer service. He is SO incredibly knowledgable about both beer and wine; he has even given me wine suggestions according to certain beers I like. If you cannot find a wine in here that you would like you have to be pretty picky; there are wines from all over the world and in all different price ranges. Saturday and Sunday they have wine tastings where you get a heavy pour of four different wines for $7! It's dog friendly so bring your cute pup to join in on the fun! For the best service and wine in Cincinnati, this is definitely your place! read more

Stopped my on a Saturday morning/afternoon because they had the wine tasting for $7 each. We have been wanting to do this for a while but just never at Findley Market this late in the day. You can't go wrong with the $7 wine tasting, while we did not end up buying any of the 4 wines I can see us coming back and doing this again to see if we find something we like. While it is called Market Wines they also have a good selection of beers also and I was watching people purchasing six packs along with wines so it looks like they have a winner here. read more

Market Wines - Wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I came in thinking I was going to do a wine tasting however it is only 11-3 on the weekend, and is super crowded. We came in on a Friday night and got to meet a lot of cool locals. Although there was no tasting the bartender still let me taste all the wines on the menu until I found the one I loved. They also have draft beer! They had a rumpking beer from southern tier. It is by far the most amazing beer that I have ever drank. The prices are good here and service is friendly . read more

Market Wines - Cool bar - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My friend and I did a photowalk at Findlay Market and then decided to enjoy a wine tasting. I'm not a big wine drinker and don't know much about wine, but the guy behind the bar took the time to explain each wine, which we wrote notes on our card. The prices of the wine seemed to hit every price point. I ran into a friend there and she told him what she was having for dinner and he gave her several suggestions. I'd say if you're not in the area but you want to make sure you pick the right wine, it is worth the trip! read more

This is my go to place on Sunday afternoons! It does help that it is located in the ever so fabulous Findlay Market, but I would still come here even if it wasn't. The owner is ALWAYS present. That man is one in a million. He is always willing to help and you can tell he is so passionate about not only wine but his customers as well. One night I was making steak and I do not like red wine. I asked what is a good white that will go with a big hearty steak. He suggested 3 different wines in three different price ranges. Again another huge plus, this pace has something for everyone! I went for the middle range one and now I am actually hooked on it. It was a french wine that you cannot find anywhere else. Another reason I love this place. They have hand picked specialty wines. Wine tastings on Sundays are only $5 bucks and like everyone else is saying it's a great deal. You get a large pour and they actually explain the details of the grape. They don't just shove it at you. For the best service in town, affordability, and also for specialty wines, this is your place. read more

One of my favorite places to stop at Findlay Market, and for good reason. Reasonably priced wine tastings, reasonably prices wines, and a great selection. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Pretty good craft beer selection, too. read more

Market Wines is fantastic! They have a great selection of wine and beer at multiple price levels and are knowledgeable and helpful. I've had something that was $6.99 per bottle, recommended by the gentleman that I believe is the owner, and it was fantastic. He also suggested an inexpensive Tuscan (which are typically fairly pricey) so I was a bit skeptical, but was pleasantly surprised by it after my first sip. They also do wine tasting every weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM - 3 PM. You get 4 samples for $5...not a bad deal! They also from time to time do beer tasting, where you get 5 for $5! An equally delicious deal! Swing by the next time you're down at Findlay market! read more

Great shop that packs a lot into a relatively small space. Don't be fooled by the name, aside from a great selection of wines they also have a great selection of craft beers. The owner, Mike, is very knowledgeable about both and will give recommendations and explanations regarding anything you need. Tips: 1.Tuesday, Saturtday, Sunday wine tasting ($5 for 4 wines) - an amazing deal. The Tuesdays tasting ends at the end of October but weekend is all year. The wines are always different. 2. Monday night keg tapping (different craft beer every week) 3. Bring your own food (for wine tastings get a baguette, cheese and olive oil and you'll be set) read more

Here's how much I like Market Wines. I have two local liquor stores that have regular wine tastings. I never go to them. On Saturday, my wife and I were in the suburbs at a wine tasting that just irritated us. We bailed, still in the mood to buy wine and drove to Findlay for the last hour of their tasting. Michael, the owner, knows wine. He knows his clients. He pairs his clients to his wines. All too often I've asked for recommendations (say for a friendly dinner party) at other shops and been taken to a $60 California Chard. Michael's featured selections are usually under $20 and often under $12 a bottle. When my wife asked about a port, he asked a few questions, narrowed down the type she liked and offered up an $11 bottle of something she's been sipping from since. If you want a nice, locally owned, service oriented wine shop that won't insult your intelligence or budge, go to Market Wines. Anytime I buy somewhere else I feel like a traitor to Michael. read more

A cozy wine shop next to the Findlay market. The selection is good, as they have wines from the major regions. The prices are quite good as far as I can tell (I'm not from Cincinnati, but I also visited a large volume chain as reference). The owner was super friendly and was chatting with me off and on the whole time, with no pressure to buy. Ironically they had some of my favorite beers, the Andersen Valley summer and winter brews, which I had to get. Overall a great shop if you need some wine guidance but not exceptional if you know a lot about wines and need a wider selection. read more

This is a consummate small bottle shop, with owners and staff who are hugely knowledgeable and who care about helping their customers choose just the right wine or beer for their taste, need, and budget. I come here mostly for good beer, and their stock is very select. I always find 3-4 interesting and unusual beers to take home, and since they're just down the street from Rhinegeist, there is usually something great from them on the shelf or in the cooler. This is my favorite neighborhood bottle shop, hands down. read more

Market Wines is the best place to buy wines in the Cincinnati. They give you personal service that you don't get at other stores. Plus, their wine tasting are always fun and educational (but only if you want them to be). read more

Market Wines - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The absolute best wine shop in the state. I would say country but have not done the proper leg work for that. Michael Maxwell is the best kind of shop owner. He always has the best recommendations even if I do not know what I am talking about. My family thinks I a wine scholar or expert because I always roll up to Thanksgiving/Christmas or any other family function with the best wine possible. read more

Market Wines, you wonderful, warm place you. Everybody here, including staff and regulars, are super friendly and nice. I highly recommend the sat & sun wine tasting (not sure when it starts, but I know it ends at 3/4 PM). It is a joy and they always have new wines for you to taste for the cheap price of $7. Heck yes. They also usually have live music which makes you feel like you walked into a cute little shop somewhere in Europe. This is one of my favorite places in Cincinnati and I always bring visitors here. As far as their everyday wine collection, they have a lot of great wines for you to purchase at very reasonable prices (you also get a discount if you do the tasting). If you have questions, the staff is super knowledgable, so feel free to ask. Be aware that it is dog friendly, so if you don't like dogs for some odd, inexplicable reason, avoid it. If you do like dogs, please bring it. I say so selfishly so that I can play with it. read more

I love this little spot in Findlay Market. Enjoy a glass of vino while chatting with the regulars or wonderful staff then pick up some wine to go home with. Prices are very reasonable, location is perfect, and a friendly staff makes this a go to spot for your wine fix. read more

Who doesn't want to feel like they're in a brasserie when tasting some wine, nibbling on a bit of cheese and taking in a gorgeous day? Market Wines, we need to explore each other. And by exploring each other, I mean have an affair that sounds as glorious as a cork being pulled from a wine bottle. A fine establishment that is far bigger than meets the eye, is a crown jewel that hides itself along the many restaurants and baked merchants right outside of Findlay Market. Find a seat at the bar, or get comfortable standing near one of the tall tables and order up. Whether you're in the mood for a wine tasting, a flight or simply to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine with a cutie or shopping cohort--that is up to you. For this particular visit, I sat with a gaggle of ladies and after getting our fair share of shopping done, we indulged on the Saturday wine tasting. Near the front of the house a man skillfully played the guitar with ease, and the bartender poured the more than generous glasses with even less difficulty. The staff knows not only the name of the wines, but the area in which it comes from. You say potatoes, they say fingerling from the South of France. From the variety of classic whites to the full bodied reds, there is much to choose from. Along the walls, you will see the many bottles from in and around the area, to small vineyards all across the country. The key thing to remember: they are smaller vineyards mixed in with larger. Why buy the same ol' stuff you can get at the store, eh? Exactly what Market Wines was thinking too. Prices are moderately placed for each bottle, and more than affordable. Get ready to expand the budget if you're looking to have 'lunch' by means of a liquid diet. read more

I love Market Wines. Their wine tastings on the weekends are fabulous! I think it was 7$ to taste 4 different wines, and each pour is generous. I loved it. I'll be back. In fact, I've already been back, and bought a bottle of wine. The folks at market wines are fabulous and when my boyfriend and I went in to pick up a bottle of wine on a weekday came over and talked to us about what sort of wines we like and we're looking for and I feel like have is a really custom recommendation. And they are dog friendly. A+! read more
