Selection was less than other places. Prices are competitive. More decoration than fine wine, but maybe that marketing style floats other people’s boats. Staff are fantastic at both locations - this cannot be understated.

They have a great selection of non alcoholic “spirits” and I recently went in and Lisa recommended a great product! I went back in and Beth helped me with something else! Their customer service was great.

Lisa put on a spectacular wine tasting for our residents at The Pointe at Dorset Crossing! She was knowledgeable and interacted with the residents. She had a great variety of wines that were all delicious. We definitely look forward to working with her again in the future!
