No Food
Join me each week as I pour three or four outstanding wines for you to sip and enjoy. I personally select each wine - wines that are small production, high quality, and family owned. You won't be tasting grocery store or big box chain wines. Instead, you will get an exceptional wine experience with unique, well made, and delicious wines that over deliver and over perform. Salud!

Gustavo always finds wines to taste that are more unusual and always gives us a little history of the vineyard and the back story of the owners. Appreciate the effort.

Would definitely come back again! Gustavo was professional and friendly, he knew his wines! Loved how intimate the setting is. I think what would make it even better is serving some cheese or a little snack with the tasting. It was nice how Gustavo accommodated us with our requests! He is super responsive to my emails and very helpful. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Gustavo finds wines we wouldn’t have tried on our own. Many are surprisingly good and unusual. Plus, he fills us in on the maker’s personal story and history of the vineyard. Overall, a great experience.

It is great to have a local spot for tastings. Gus knows the wines and the winemakers.
This is not always the case at The Bottle Shop but the wines seemed overpriced for the quality. My rating of the value is for the tasting, not the wines.
It would be good to have water (next time we will bring our own) and a container to pour unused wine into.
Also, Gus should interact with everyone. He does better on the Zoom tastings.
