Persona Wine is a hidden gem in Boulder. Easy to drive by on Pearl Street, yet so close to many of the places you already know.
They're a natural wine shop, I'd say on the artisanal and boutique side. The shop itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's like hanging out in someone's living room. They have a vinyl record player setup, two cozy chairs, hanging plants, etc. The vibes are on point and extremely cozy.
Don't expect a big box store with an over-the-top selection, but rather a thoughtful and meticulously curated variety of rotating natural wines from around the world. And the best part is the owner Sarah, who will walk you through any question you may have. Expert recommendations and super knowledgeable of the wines on display.
We ended up purchasing a Californian rosé and an Italian white. The added bonus of the day was in their refrigerator, which holds chilled bottles as well as a small assortment of craft beers. I found a beer from Ology Brewing in little old Tallahassee, FL, my old college stomping grounds. I bought the beer on the spot and it was delicious.
Even if you know nothing about natural wine, Persona is the unpretentious place for you to start. And if you are a big consumer of natural wine, then I'm sure you'll nerd out over the intentional selection the owner has assembled.
Really cool spot in Boulder. Check them out! read more
