The editorial take
A market with retail wine, spirits, coffee, and specialty foods plus a café, and the wine side is the deep end: 581 products spanning red, white, rosé, sparkling, and canned formats, with 291 reds and 199 whites. Three wine clubs run month-to-month through twelve months, and dated tastings cover subjects like Pinot Noir California versus Oregon and Piedmont. Spirits run 144 products across whiskey, rum, gin, tequila, brandy, port, and vermouth, with gin and tequila tastings on the calendar.
- What should I order?
- For a white, Dr. Loosen Riesling at $12.99 or Innocent Bystander Sauvignon Blanc at $15.99.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Shoppers building a mixed case across red, white, rosé, sparkling, and canned formats, and drinkers who want a spirits shelf covering whiskey, rum, gin, tequila, brandy, port, and vermouth in one stop. Wine-club subscriptions and dated tasting events give repeat visitors a reason to return.
- When should I go?
- Check the events calendar for dated tastings such as the gin and tequila sessions; wine tastings have included Pinot Noir California versus Oregon and Italy's Piedmont Region. Wine is available for in-store pickup only, so plan to carry purchases out rather than have them shipped.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine runs from $4.99 for canned formats to $24.49 for Granbazán Albariño, with named bottles like Lapis Luna Red Blend at $13.99 and Cune Rioja Crianza at $15.99. Spirits span $10.99 for Dolin Dry Vermouth 375ml up to $93.99 for Macallan 12yr. Wine clubs range from $12.00 month-to-month to $360.00 for a 12-month tier.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The retail wine depth is the differentiator: 581 products split across 291 reds and 199 whites, plus rosé, sparkling, and canned formats, backed by three separate wine clubs and a dated tasting schedule. The spirits side adds 144 products across seven categories, with gin and tequila tastings priced separately.
