He barely takes his eyes off the TV to make eye contact with you, and the last time I was there he basically grabbed the cash from my hand. Just to inform people I will comment on a review below before this one - that guy isn't the owner. Che, the owner, is friendly and chatty about his inventory. It's a good store other than the cold customer service at checkout from that one guy. All the other employees are friendly.

Decent wine selection with competitive prices. However the owner is super unfriendly. No hello or…read morethank you even if you say hello or how are you. Just rings up your purchase impatiently. It's as if he's bothered with the task of taking your money. It's close to grocery shopping so convenient but last time in to buy a couple of bottles of wine he gave me a lecture on buying more wine for the case discount. Not really an FYI but more an exasperated "you should buy more wine from me" tone. All the other employees are friendly and helpful.

How fantastic is it to come across a wine store with no pretentiousness, smiley faces and…read moreknowledgeable staff? Pretty Freakin' Fantastic. Coming from a big city like Las Vegas, this little wine store is what you hope to find when you come to New England. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of flashy stores and wine bars with enomatic wine systems and tasting credit cards, but it's nice to walk into a shop that looks like someone's HOUSE from the outside. Space is a little cramped but the shelves are filled with gems priced under $20. Yes, there's certainly pricier bottles but I wasn't in the market for that this day. The interior is invitingly merchandised and you'll find a fair selection of cheeses for a small place like this. Instead of the expected one bottle I walked in to purchase, I bought four. I had a chance to meet the proprietors and they were gracious and helpful and so was their staff. They have wine tasting classes and free wine tastings on Fridays from 5:30 to 7:30. What a great way to end a busy work week!

Pricing is right where it should be and the owners and staff go out of their way to make sure your "Wine House Experience" is unforgettable.

Rochelle and Scott have really got their fingers on the pulse of the wine scene here!

It was Scheduled for August 30, 2026. On August 19, my friend called to say her credit card company just issued her a credit for the class. I checked my email & my card company credited me also. My friend called Duck Soup to ask what happened? Who ever answered the phone called the store owner for an explanation. The reason was, everyone was cancelling and we weren't worth it. NO APOLOGY!!!! IF THEY MADE 2 COURTESY PHONE CALLS THIS REVIEW WOULD NOT BE HERE!!!

And yes, it is definitely full sized! As with supermarkets, this one does have all the usual departments. The store is quite tidy and the shelves appeared very well stocked. There is a large focus on prepared foods and ready-to-heat. The sushi display looked fresh and had a good selection. I'm hours away from my own kitchen so I did not make a full shop here. Instead, I got a light snack from the deli where I found some sliced meats and cheese on special. The gent who served me was pleasant even if his "Thank-you-have-a-good-night" was after he'd already turned away. The rest of the marked including butchery, produce, dry goods, etc all looked great. Prices were reasonable and I did not spot any holes in the merchandise leveling. The young man who rang up my purchase was polite and had an appropriate sized bag for my few items. Parking lot was clean and the cart corrals were clear. [Review 10128 overall, 1714 of 2018.]
