I spent the greater part of recent sunny and warm Saturday wandering around various parts of…read moreCalgary. It's been a few years since I've set foot within the "Heart of The New West", and Cow Town has certainly become more trendy and expensive. And it doesn't hurt there's a boom cycle going on in the Energy sector. One of my favourite personal measures of a metropolitan area's success is the number of specialty wine stores sprinkled about. Alberta got rid of their state store system long ago, which has unleashed a lot of creativity regarding adult beverages. This is definitely not Manitoba or Pennsylvania. I wandered into Metrovino after coming out of Brûlée Patisserie, ambling into Cookbook Co. and then finding Metrovino on the back end of the Builder's Block. This place is the real deal wine wise and I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I was admiring the well considered choices among many price points. Actually, the selection reminds my of Kermit Lynch as it's very specialized and Euro-centric choices. When I mentioned that to the Owner, he immediately perked up and went into a long positive tribute to this Berkeley Wine Shop which he has visited and of which he considers Kermit to be a mentor. I know enough about wine to talk a good game and be dangerous in my selections. In this case, the very nice and extremely knowledgeable Owner took me for more than that and proceeded into wine and grape discussions that were a bit over my head. It was still a lot a fun as this is a place that loves wine and engages in it with gusto and surprisingly little pretense. I left with a very nice bottle of Port and an intention to come back for a wine tasting where I could really learn something.

Metrovino's main entrance is on 11th Ave. SW but there is also a back entrance from The Cookbook…read moreCo. Cooks store. Both employees here are incredibly enthusiastic about the wines they sell wines in general and speak highly of their owner. According to them, MV does its best to cut out the middle man in purchasing, many of the vineyards that they carry are being dealt with directly. This ensures a more personable relationship with their supplier and they are passing this on to you with lower pricing. A lot of their merch comes from France but of course they carry wines from all around the world. The most impressive thing I see is that they had about 12 uncorked wine bottles at their counter which is available to any customer all year round, you are able not only to buy these select wines but you are able to taste which one beforehand. Classy! The pride is evident in service, and in education here, most of the employees are handpicked because of their past histories and most of them have moved on to more professional careers in their field. Expect great service, good prices, very informative staff but most of all try out some wines at the store yourself for better informed choices.

I love it here. Everyone I have asked about this joint has never been here. Even home-grown…read moreCalgarians! What a shame! I know, parking can be a "B" but downtown is downtown. If you happen to be down there anyways, come to this clean, dark, sinful, bootleggin' feelin', underground wine/liquor oasis and buy yourself a treat. Or 2.Or 5. As much as you can carry. The staff is always ready to help and I have enjoyed chatting with them all as wine is my thing. As soon as you walk in, staff will be more than eager to serve you! You may not find the exact bottle of wine or beer that you are looking for but I assure you, you will leave happy!

I love visiting the Cellar to grab wine because it is located in: bum bum bum... A cellar! To be…read moreclear, the cellar is that of the old Alberta Hotel, and this brings a very historic and slightly European atmosphere to the shop. It makes your visit into an experience. The other major benefit is that they play up the wine cellar connection - indeed the storage conditions are very good for the serious bottles of wine that they keep here. I am not an Oil Baron or associate, so I lack the resources to know about the best of the best that they keep here. But they have some pretty fine wines in my ten to fifteen dollar range, and are without snobbery in helping a girl find a good (cheap) wine. I love a good wine, although I am pretty far from being an expert so it is really nice to be able to refer to the ratings they have for the wines. Any questions you might have are answered by the helpful staff, and they know their stuff! So whether you are a wine newbie or a seasoned connoisseur, the Cellar is a wonderful wine gem conveniently located in downtown Calgary. When I have time I always try to make the trip pre-dinner party.
