Bought some wine there, the owner is super nice and friendly, and the wine too. Interesting collections from Spain, Italy, France, South America, etc. As well as local wines. You’ll definitely find something that fits your preference!

I keep trying and trying but they’re never open. Their hours listed on Google or not correct. The hours listed on the door not correct. They just seem to be open whenever somebody feels like coming in. So frustrating.To respond....Hours on Google read 11-4Hours on the door read 12-4showed up at 11:15. No one there.Showed back up at 12:20, no one there.This has happened to me here more than three times in 4 months.So which is it? Google hours or sign on the door hours? I'm done.

12/12/20 So don't take this the wrong way... there's NOTHING wrong with this place. The way I score things I always give 3 stars to average places, relative to peers. 3 stars doesn't mean good or bad, just average. It's possible the average restaurant or store of the same type are mostly excellent, or even amazing, but to get above 3 you're just gonna have to be even better than all of them. And well, yeah, this place is just too small to warrant consideration as a wine destination. I mean, it's TINY. Now, that said, no... I did not ask the staff to see if they can find me some special uber-rare bottle of which only 37 survived after a famine, made in a tiny shack in the corner of Bordeaux--and they said, sure it'll be here in a month after it's made its journey through 3 continents and 15 handlers. So....... if they are that kind of shop and I just didn't know, sure, 5 stars all the way, and I owe an apology. But as far as I'm concerned the only reason to come here is straight to the back where there's a tiny fridge where you can find chilled bubblies, beer, and cider. That's important cause these #Covid19 #CoronaVirus days, despite there being quite a bit of food to be had in neighboring restaurants, since they're all takeout you'll want some cold beer. No need to buy from the restaurants, if you even can. And yeah, I got a cider and a sparkling rose here. Canned. They worked well with my Mexican food from next door. 2/5 #berkeley #wineshop

I once loved this place and bought all my wines here, but pricing has not bee very evident since their redesign more than a year so ago. Several times during this time I've been told they are "working on it." During my last foray into the store I told a sales person that I could no longer shop there if prices weren't listed. "OK," he said flatly, turning away, unconcerned and dismissive...well, silly me I suppose. (In that moment II sorely missed their former and personable and informative salesman, Arthur.) But should a request for pricing be dismissed when bottles of wine that look much alike might cost $11 or $100? What if a grocer or a shoe store or a book store didn't list prices? Well, silly us.

To be honest, we've only gotten the 7 for $70 packs, but they are such a great deal for a fun assortment of wines that the shop is worth frequenting for that. We drink wine with almost every dinner, and not every dinner warrants a $20 wine. They come with a typed up sheet describing each wine with recommendations. Go here for good value wine in curated packs.

Wow!!! I absolutely love wine. I really do! I was introduced to it by my aunt when I visited her in Paris. And there are some pretty cool wine shops. I love Kermit Lynch and used to love Wine Mine, but fell out of love with them when they were jerky to my husband and I during a tasting. El Cerrito Natural is quite a cool spot, too. But this place has a problem of ignoring me every time I go in. Now the last time, there was a woman who said hi and asked me if I wanted help, but every other time - crickets! I know that I don't look like your typical wine customer but a simple hello would suffice. Sometimes the guy behind the counter will say hi and look back at his paper. Other times, they say nothing. But it's no botHer, I don't spend my money with people who don't want it and apparently they don't. I feel pressure to buy a bottle of wine or two to prove that I'm not a stereotype, but I don't do that any more. I couldn't tell you anything about the wine they carry, but I can tell you a lot about the employees. They are picky about which customers they serve

This is a neat little shop with a nice selection of wines from all over the world. They cut out the middle man and sell to you direct at lower prices. The gentleman I spoke with during an impromptu visit was spirited and knowledgeable about their offerings and wine in general. He made a couple suggestions based on my taste, and they turned out to be pretty good! I'd definitely stop in here again and encourage others to check it out. Bonus- free parking and restaurants are right next door!

This location Closed - I used to come in here for unusual bottles of wine and the guy was always friendly, and a great source of information and options.

From the outside, it seemed like they had a decent selection. Unfortunately, I was never able to confirm as they were, according to their sign, on a 30 minute lunch break. It was much longer than 30 minutes. I eventually had to leave. Shame, I was ready to spend my money and everything, too.
