What a fantastic wine shop I wish I had one like this close to my home in the UK. This was my second visit whilst staying with friends. It is an Aladdins cave with wines from all over the world. Marc is incredibly knowledgable about the wines and spent a lot of time explaining the different vineyards and wines and was able to guide me when I told him the types of wine I usually drank. The Falanghina was fabulous as was the champagne. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try some great wines.

Our experience was marred by an overly confident young staff member who lacked the patience and listening skills necessary for a meaningful interaction. Despite our attempts to explain our preferences; what wine we were looking for, he constantly interrupted with a generic overview of too many random offerings, failing to tune into our needs. This left us both confused, prompting my partner and I to exchange a look before quickly heading out of the store. Too bad since the other older guy working there seemed very friendly and chill.Just fyi there’s a significant distinction between organic and natural wine. Organic certification doesn’t inherently speak to the winemaking process, a fact overlooked in this one-sided conversation. We were on the hunt for a light red from the Loire, something with a perfumy, peppery vibe, juicy and a bit mineral, natural and effervescent. We made it clear we’re into carbonic maceration and love our Gamay, Cab-Franc, and Pinot Noir. Definitely stated we were not looking for anything too tannic or sunripened. But what do we get? Recommendations for some heavy, tannic organic reds. Just listen, assess, and inform? The whole thing felt super impersonal and honestly, pretty annoying.While the wine prices were somewhat high, they weren’t unreasonable. Unfortunately, the poor quality of our interaction prevented us from making a purchase. Too bad because this could have been a nice find, wine and spot alike.

Reaaally great selection of wines and beers from across the globe. Definitely on the higher-end of pricing though.

This branch has its own vantage vibe. The staff are welcoming and professional. They are properly stocked. I never fail to get my favorite wine in this store.

I was recently in the store and was helped by Kaylene to choose 12 unique bottles for my cellar - and wow; her knowledge of unique varietals and grapes around the world was wonderful! I’d never heard of this wine store before but I’m glad Kaylene had me stop in.

If you're into expensive wine or hard bar or beer they have everything that the BC Liquor Stores don't have very worth a try and very worth your money

A 6 pack of P49 Radler is $5 more than in BC Liquor. I understand some markup but I'm done shopping here

Always friendly and helpful staff, and products for a variety of budgets. I love their ever changing selection in the coolers and will always stop here versus the BCL down the street.

Great selection of wines. Good service, if you’re white. Great place to be followed and scrutinized if you are a POC. My partner (who is Caucasian) walked into the store to pick up some wine. We were the only ones in the store. It was obvious that we were together (we were discussing the wines) but clerk felt that he needs to make his presence felt my being around me. We decided on the wines, went to the cashier to pay and the person who was following me went behind the counter and rudely asked me ‘can I help you?!’ It was obvious that we were there together (since he was following me). Go somewhere else for your wines. Their selections are not that exclusive. I will stick with my multiple wine subscriptions. The only reason we stopped there was we wanted wine that was already cold. Won’t be going back.
