Jill is a wealth of wine knowledge. This shop is light and bright and comfortable. Great for a quiet, after-work glass or a larger gathering. Her retail selection is excellent.

Love this place! I stopped in yesterday on my way to the post office. Great selection of local wines and the prices were very good. Jill, the owner, is delightful and has a robust knowledge of the wine landscape in our region that doesn't just include Pinot Noir. They are open for tastings and a bottle shop! There's ample parking as well. Please visit so this place sticks around!

Great selection of wine and the employees have always been super nice to me. They're extremely knowledgeable too! I like how they set up the shop, too. Chairs are comfy if you want to do tastings and I love the atmosphere!
Been here 3 times. Every time, I got an awkward feeling of superiority and snobbishness from the hosts. The wine is good but there's something about the way she talks that makes you think she thinks she's better than you. It makes for an incredibly uncomfortable experience if you go alone.
If you want wine, try John's Marketplace. They'll open your bottle for you to enjoy in shop and are FAR more casual.
For "not your stuffy wine shop"... It's pretty stuffy.
The perfect place to pop in for a glass of wine when you don't have a drinking companion. The easy, intelligent camaraderie of the regulars and the owner make this a cool spot when you don't want to sit alone with your phone at some overpriced, corporate bar that would have TV sports blaring in the background.
There is a rotating display of interesting art on the walls. They have an extensive NW (Canadian too) selection of wines from unique and hard to find wineries. So, this is NOT grocery store selections. Yet the price per glass and bottle is affordable and unique.
