I stumbled on this place as I was exploring the area after checking in to my bnb. It was a great find! You can buy bottles from the front area and have tastings or buy by the glass by the bar. It's byo food if you want to nosh while you sip. Such friendly and welcoming owners. I don't usually drink Italian wines so Robin introduced me to some new ones and a Chianti I can sip on. I tried the Vignaricco and the Tazzelenghe. Thr latter reminds you of whiskey, my kind of wine. I enjoyed both but I could sit with the Tazzelenghe again. I asked to taste a dry white and Robin suggested the Chardonnay and Friulano. I don't usually drink Chardonnay on its own, always with food, but this was a didifferent Chardonnay. BUT THE STAR! THE STAR WAS THE FRIULANO! I have never heard of this. I could not catch an aroma. It is so clean. This was a wonderful discovery. Thank you, Robin! I bought a bottle of Friulano and some of the local chocolate they were selling from Pollack's Candies. Highly recommend stopping in, tastings, drinking, chatting.
Spill wine bar is the BEST hidden gem in Broomfield!!!! I walk past here all the time and finally had a chance to go, and I truly had the best time! The owners Jim and his wife are the sweetest people. The business model of Spill is to allow costumers to try as many wines as they please before deciding on a glass of wine- they WANT you to love your selection before purchasing it! I personally love this idea because I never know what I want and love learning and trying new wines! The place is BYO-food, and they provide silverware and cutlery. The whole experience was just so amazing and the vibes in there are so friendly and sweet. I'm already looking forward to when I can go back!
We stopped in after dinner in Bloomfield to check out this place. We were super excited to try some direct sourced Italian wines after spending two weeks traveling in Italy earlier this year. What we didn't expect was the lovely woman who worked there sitting down at our table to explain their wines and find the perfect one for us to try. She was really terrific and we ended up with the Maniago Pinot Nero red wine that was fantastic! They give you a nice pour too which was welcome. It's a super cute place and was filled with locals enjoying some delicious wines with friends.
Super cute little wine bar in town! Owners were so friendly and knowledgeable about wines. They offer free samples until you find your favorite choice of wine to order by glass or grab a bottle to go.
I can guarantee you will have some fun here, and perhaps learn a couple things about Italian wine. The proprietor is enthusiastic and welcoming. You get to taste everything before you buy, and the taste is substantial, and so is the pour. There is a wide selection of Italian wine and will receive a lot of help in deciding, based on your personal preference. I noticed several customers following the BYOF policy, and accepted food delivered from a nearby restaurant. The space is inviting, and the bar itself is custom built. There is a broad range of prices, starting from single digit up to $30 a glass. All the traditional Italian wines are there, plus some others you may not have heard of. Jump in!
What is happening to all of my reviews?!? I made one for this place when they first opened a couple of years ago. Where has it gone? Anyway, it's a little neighborhood wine bar with very basic interior. The wine selection is good but super pricey since al mostly imported from Italy.
I was meaning to visit this place for a while, but on a random Saturday walk I decided to pop in. (I've been here more than a few times since then) When I first ventured in, I was greeted by an employee who I can only describe as awesome. I've been getting more into wine during the pandemic, and was about to speak to folks about my background, the wines in the store, get suggestions. Just a one stop shop for everything you need. Many of the wines in the shop are sold by companies who have been in the business for a while (some as old as 400 years). I've had about 5 of the wines, and have not been disappointed yet. The photo attached has been my favorite so far. I really love just popping into the shop, and admiring the selections/chatting with the staff. Highly recommend everyone popping in.
Had such a great night out with friends at Spill! The space was cozy and welcoming, the owners were extremely attentive and helpful. She even found a red wine I liked and ordered! It is BYOF so bring a board of your own or order from one of the restaurants nearby.
Love this spot! There is trivia every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. It does get pretty crowded tho so reservations in advanced at required. We made a reservation the week before and we were a party of 9. They sell wines by the glass, half glass, and bottle here. You can try as many as you'd like before you get glasses or bottles. All the wine here is Italian which is cool. There's a bar for seating as well as tables. They always give you pistachios here for a snack. You can also bring in food from outside as well which is really nice. I love that this place is family owned, the owners are always so nice and welcoming. On regular nights, it's definitely less crowded and has much more of a chill vibe. You can also bring your dog I think.
I love this wine shop/wine bar! They carry amazing Italian wines from several different regions of Italy! It is a small space inside, but if you walk through the shelves of wine, there are tables, chairs and a small bar. Wine is served by the glass or the bottle, and the owners are more than willing to let you taste the wines first. You can take your own snacks too which is cool since there are so many food options nearby! The owners, Lauren, and Sam are so knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They make you feel like you are family there. The wines by the glass are reasonably priced, especially for wines that you can't buy anywhere else. The Tazzelenghe (sp?), Taurasi from Danimi and the In & Out from Collefrisio were my favorites! The Taurasi is 100% Aglianico grapes, but the owner Jim explained how they let the grapes dry out in Italy and then crush them. It makes it a super bold and dry wine. I think he told me this wine also comes from volcanic soil. It was fun to learn about and even more fun to taste. ;) If you describe what type of wine you are looking for, they will help you find just the right one! Next time I would like to try a few wines or the rose! They also have free wifi if you want to work on a laptop at one of their tables. It is a comfortable spot and was not loud at all when I went on a weekday. I love that this wine bar is open every day of the week since so many places are closed on Mondays in Pittsburgh. I am already planning what cheeses and snacks to pick up on the way next time!
Get there. Now! Walked by tonight and saw Spill was finally open! People are there and enjoying some wine. I'm meeting Hubs for dinner down the street, but I make sure to tell him the fabulous news (and make sure we only have a drink each at dinner). It's after 8:30 and we stop in. The crowd has dispersed, but they were still opened. We learn the unique operations and how they have wine direct from Italian vineyards, so nothing you find in state stores. Jim and Robin, the partners and operators tonight, offered tastings for us to try. It was a great vibe and they are in tune to people's preferences. We're dry red people and the Rosso was perfecto. It's a very chill, neighborhood vibe. We met more people as we're tasting and loved the company and conversation. We walked out at 10:30 PM after a few tastes/glasses and a bottle in hand. They're still figuring out the hours, but was assured they'll be prepared for Little Italy Days! Definitely stop by! It's a gem. For Bloomfielders, the access to wine has much improved!
I hate that it took me so long to give SPiLL a try, and despite the recent circumstances, I'm glad I did. Since the liquor stores are closed and only doing limited phone and online offerings I knew it was time to seek out local spots. Walked into SPiLL last week, masks and all, and were greeted by the owners who were so knowledgeable and helpful. The gentleman talked me through all of the different options and made some recommendations based upon my taste. SPiLL has wines from three different vineyards in Italy, all of which are too small to be in state stores - which is even better in my opinion! It took me back to my travels in the Tuscany region of Italy. So far, I've tried 3/4 wines and all have been great. The Collefrissio pinot grigio was my favorite so far. Expect the prices to be slightly higher than the state stores, but well worth it in my eyes. If you buy 6 wine bottles, you'll get a slight discount - 5% if I remember correctly. Can't wait to go back for a proper wine tasting.
A larger group of us stopped by on Saturday afternoon and they were super accommodating and moved a bunch of tables so we could all sit together. The inside has a small bar with seating, and quite a few tables so I would say it's good for groups. They're a wine bar and all of their wine is from Italy. We opted for a bottle of bubbly to split amongst four of us and it wasn't expensive. They also give you pistachios to snack on which is a nice touch. They handled separate checks like pros which made things easy for us. read more

I had to visit Spill Wine Bar in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood after receiving a totally enjoyable bottle from my daughter after one of her visits. This casual, contemporary bar has hard to find bottles of unique Italian wines, sourced from select small family run vineyards. The owner, Robin, was friendly and knowledgeable and, after sampling, her suggestion was the perfect choice! This is a superb place to share great wine with friends! read more

Finally checked out this wine bar in Bloomfield and it was all I wanted it to be and more! When I walked in, I was greeted by two lovely employees who I later learned to be mother and son. They immediately asked my name and never forgot it the rest of the night, which reminded me how much I love those small things. They explained the concept of SPiLL, in which they serve wine from three different wineries in Italy who do not provide wine to the PA state stores. They were very knowledgeable about their menu and were able to make a great suggestions based on the types of wines I typically enjoy. I love that they will let you taste anything for free. I tried several reds and it was clear they wanted me to be confident in the one I chose. You can purchase by the glass and/or buy bottles to go! The best part was it's BYOF - bring your own food! Whether it be homemade charcuterie board, a pizza you picked up on the way, or just some snacks from your bag, you can enjoy them with your wine! We opted for their recommendation of Thai food right down the street and it was perfect! They have tons of menus of restaurants in the area to make suggestions and even allow you to Grubhub food to the wine bar! I loved this place and the people definitely sealed the deal on the experience. I'll be back and I'll be bringing all my friends and ALL THE SNACKS. read more

SPiLL is the perfect Italian wine addition to Bloomfield! I've been trying to try all of Pittsburgh's wine spots, and I definitely am adding SPiLL to my list of go-to places. When you walk in, there's a handful of tables and a bar with five chairs. The owners and server are very friendly and know their wines very well. They first asked what kind of wines I enjoyed and suggested some tasting suggestions from there. Based on my comments from the wine sample, they suggested another wine to try. The wines come from 3-4 different wineries in Italy and are almost all dry. I tried all reds and after 3 samples, I settled on a glass. Glasses range from $9-$15 and the pours are pretty heavy. It was also nice that they had snacking pistachios on the tables. read more

SPiLL is a hidden gem in Bloomfield, made excellent by the wonderful owners and servers. If you don't know anything about wine, this is the place to be. The owner listens to your tastes and preferences and will guide you to something she thinks you will enjoy, working with you to find something that you'll love. They typically (and very generously) bring samples (which by themselves are substantial pours) of the suggestions they make in order to ensure you find a wine suitable to your palate. They source their wines from a vineyard in Italy (I unfortunately cannot remember the name!) They also offer complimentary pistachios, and allow guests to bring in outside food. I'll be honest, I don't know much about wine and can't attest to the finer points of wine culture and consumption, but I've enjoyed every single glass I've had here and am charmed by the unpretentious, next-door-neighbor vibe of this place. I've been here a few times now, and it's one of my favorite bars in the city, all due to the awesome owner. 5/5, I'll be coming back here as long as I live in Pittsburgh. read more
