Le Vintage is a wine shop that opened in Alexandria, Virginia in February 2022. It was founded by…read moreBenjamin Kuna. A trained sommelier, Kuna curated the wine program at La Fromagerie Cheese & Wine Bistro for a number of years and eventually became the general manager. He later worked as a sommelier at other area establishments like Planet Wine and Evening Star Cafe. When the storefront next to La Fromagerie became available, Kuna decided to make it his own wine shop. Kuna's mission is to make the entire world of wine accessible to everyone while supporting growers who are engaged in ethically and ecologically responsible farming and business practices. Fellow sommelier Michael Williams works as the general manager of Le Vintage, while La Fromagerie owner and chef Sebastien Tavel came on board as a partner. I recently visited Le Vintage while my family and I were on a short vacation in the DC area. Upon returning to our hotel after a long day of sight-seeing, my wife said, "I can really go for a good bottle of wine after we put the kids to bed." We checked on Yelp and lo and behold we discovered that Le Vintage was right down the street from our hotel. I walked a few blocks down and made it to the small shop. They had an excellent selection of wines as well as an impressive selection of craft beer. The shop also carries artisanal meats, cheeses and crackers for customers to assemble their own charcuterie as an accompaniment for their wine. I picked out a nice-looking bottle of Italian Rosato Frizzante to bring back for my wife and I to share. The employees also invited me to participate in a tasting that was happening in the shop (Le Vintage frequently holds tastings). Slovenian winemaker Bojan Kobal was sampling offerings from his winery Kobal Wine Estate. My wife and I really liked the wine that I brought back to the hotel. We were so impressed with the shop that I went back on our last night in town and purchased one of the Kobal wines that I had previously sampled (a sparkling yellow muscat), as well as some charcuterie items. Le Vintage is a fantastic wine shop and we'll definitely visit again the next time we're in Alexandria!

Unlike all reputable businesses that would file a claim with the shipper and reship the order, they decide to lie & say the order will be reshipped & not offer a refund. Thus just straight stealing!

I mean this place is packed from wall to wall, full of libation....wine and spirits to fit anyone's liking. Also, this store contains a convenience store and USPS post office drop off that is open later than most USPS post offices around.....8pm (Mon -Fri) to be exact! Needing to get a package out to my sister for her birthday this weekend....This place saved me! Last minute, I was able to dash over to this store tonight from work and send a priority mail package late before closing their post office station at 8pm. Keep in mind that most post offices have already closed three hours ago, at 5pm. They even had mail packaging supplies, boxes and packaging tape on deck....amongst all the other convenience store items, food and wine/spirits packed in the store. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The store clerk and owners were very helpful. Not to mention, I snagged a couple of great IPAs and wine finds from their selection before leaving.. Will definitely have to return and take some time to explore more of the store's offerings .... which is just about everything under the sun!

I walked in and must've triggered some sort of invisible alarm labeled "ugh, effort." She looked at me like I personally ruined her weekend, then proceeded to act like scanning a bottle was the emotional equivalent of climbing Everest. No greeting, no eye contact -- just pure, uncut disdain. Iconic, really. I didn't know one could radiate "I don't care" at such a high frequency. If you're into being treated like a burden for existing, this place is a five-star experience. Otherwise, save yourself the headache.

There was a man behind the counter who asked a couple of times if he could help us and we kept saying, "no, thank you were just looking around." After perusing the shop for about 10 minutes reading labels and talking about what we might buy the man asked us again. I finally said, "we're not looking for anything in particular, just thinking about what we want to have at home to make drinks". His reply? "Well I have a lot of duties that I can't do while you're here. You've been here for 10 minutes and I have things to do." Not only were his words rude, but his tone was dismissive and annoyed. I am seriously disappointed, especially since there were things that we were actually thinking of getting. I get that you're 25 minutes away from closing time on a Friday, but as someone who has worked in customer service, I would have been fired for saying something like that.
