This is simply the best wine store that I have encountered in Seattle (and I've been to quite a few). The selection is, well.. select. The owner (a talented master of wine) has gone for a judicious approach to his stock, concentrating on a consistent quality across price ranges. Speaking of price, the wine in this store is probably the best value around. There are lots of $10-$20 wines that are great competitors for your $30 big store wine or your $50 restaurant wine. The varieties and vineyards are rare too, many Minervois among them.
I have yet to buy a wine from this store that I didn't like. And I have yet to pay more than $30 for 1 bottle (I usually stick to the $11 bottles). Give this place a try and you'll be hooked. Don't believe me? Stop by for the free tastings every Saturday!
