You're not just getting great wine at a good price - the proprietor is wonderful about sharing his excitement and interest in wine. You'll love the same bottle better if you buy it after talking to him.

Madison Cellars is an interesting place! My friend and I came here after dining at Cactus seeing it was open. We went down a short flight of stairs and entered what genuinely felt like a cellar. I've never been to a store with "cellar" in the name that actually felt like a cellar but this was it - dusty, cool, and dim and all sorts of filled with all kinds of wine! The variety of the wine was astounding, the inventory diverse, and the display intriguing. Fred is an amusing owner as he was quite casual and nonchalant. I swear 75% of the time we asked about an interesting looking bottle Fred's response was he wasn't sure about it because he was only convinced to buy it due to a charming and beautiful saleswoman. After awhile Fred commented we had an eye for the unusual with a small chuckle. I can't help that I'm drawn to the funkiest looking wine bottles and this store has no shortage! Fred is also cautious. High on a shelf, covered in dust with cobwebs stretching from it we saw a particular bottle of champagne. A bottle that while inexpensive is exceedingly hard to get a hold of since no one local stocks it and most wine companies can't get an order from France. It didn't have a clear year on it but the bottle wrapping is distinct and we wanted it! Fred wasn't so sure about that. He couldn't recall when he purchased it. Said he only recently stumbled across it. Wasn't sure if it would be as bubbly or the quality. He cautioned us against it but said he'd sell it to us if we insisted but buyer beware. I appreciated that because it was very thoughtful! We bought our champagne and went home. The champagne was delicious. Every bit as good as I recall it being from four years ago. It was a true treasure find!

This wine shop is a must-see! Plan on spending 1-2 hours here because there is a lot of wine to try! The proprietor refers to the living room as his "little wine shop," and he is correct. You'll be able to interact with other wine tasters, hear their tales, and sit or stand. His enthusiasm for talking and sharing his passion of wine with others is contagious. A very memorable experience!

This wine shop is outstanding! The wine selection was vast and fantastic. Every item on our table was top notch. Not easy to find but you won't be disappointed once you get there. The whole shop is very perfect and nothing to complain about their service as well. I would highly recommend them to everyone I know.

There's a wide range of prices and plenty of value wines to be had. The owner is very helpful and always has plenty of ideas and doesn't try to push to upsell you unless you're looking for something in a higher range. Worthwhile to support local!

If you know what you're looking for, then you don't need me to tell you that you'll find it here. This is a well-curated shop where everything is going to be high-quality and good value, and the staff can help you pick the right bottle for the right meal or occasion.
