Big fan of Joseph George Wines here. I love that this is a family owned business celebrating 80+ years in business! They have the best selection of fine and rare California wines. If you ever need to send an impressive gift for a client or friend, this is the place to get it. Your gift recipient will feel special and appreciated when they receive the beautiful boxes and fine wines they receive. Customer service is always excellent! If you live in San Jose, you should feel obligated to shop here. They are huge on philanthropy and are always giving back to our local community. Thank you Bert George and team. It is always a pleasure doing business (and playing at the store) with you!

Came in to buy a gift for my godmother and found a champagne that I think she'd enjoy. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. I felt a little like royalty. Thank you for the great customer service.

Fantastic, family-owned shop. I've been in twice now and they've got a great selection of California wines. There's a little bit for everyone. The ambiance is great and they're very welcoming and helpful.

Yikes. Your classic pretentious wine shop. I was heading to a company dinner in the neighborhood at my bosses place and decided to pop in as I saw it was open. I was hoping they had a nice light red wine to go with our holiday feast. I politely asked the man who walked out from the back if they had a nice barbera d'asti (which is a great all around Italian red). He literally said and I quote, "What's that? That sounds like a bear's a*** We only carry California wine here. " I'm sure he was attempting a joke and I just rolled with it. I told him I was looking for a solid all around red that would go well with a holiday meal. He proceeds on show me bottles ranging from $75 to beyond. Look, I like great wine but I'm not dropping Benny Franklin for 750ml of finely aged grape juice for my colleagues. I asked if he had something in the $35-$50 range and he basically ushered me out the door. Wow! This is the kind of nonsense that keeps people away from wine. I get the 1%ers need a place to grab their Silver Oak Cab and the like. But, pretending like there isn't a great bottle of California wine for $50 and below is legit mind boggling. I'd rather go to Enoteca Direct in Los Gatos. You literally say, "I'd love a great light red under $30." They won't judge you and will point you in the right direction. Places like JG are for the birds. Or should I say eagles, very very wealthy eagles...

Spectacular choice of fine wines in an intimate shop. Many of the biggest wine makers visit Joseph George to meet folks that appreciate their wines.

Unlike others, it's a really simple store, so they make you feel at ease and encourage you to try different types of wine. The wine tasting experience was fantastic! Alexa is extremely competent and willing to introduce us to different port wines; she has also prepared cookies and cheese for us. This wonderful shop is highly recommended for wine lovers!

We've visited all of the wineries and enjoyed them all, but the blueberry and blackberry in this wine shop were our favorites! Bailey is extremely helpful and, like their wines, very good! He also described the wines well. We'll be back the next time we're in town, and I'll suggest them to all of my friends.

Every so often I realize I haven't reviewed a place that I've been going to for ages... Jospeh George has a ton of rare and hard-to-find wines. They specialize in large format bottles -- ask them to show you a Double Magnum (4x a normal bottle) or a Jeroboam (6x). They've done custom labels for lots of fun events, especially for the Sharks. The owner, Bert, is a great guy -- always willing to help you select a special wine. And the rest of the staff is that way too. It's not just wine -- there's a decent selection of specialty food items. I've had olive oil, Marconi almonds, and high end chocolate. Joseph George might not be your everyday wine shop - but maybe it should be. As the saying goes, life's too short for bad wine.
