I find myself surprised there was no review for WineXing. This is a very nice wine shop...in an out of the way place, but a MUST visit! I attended a tasting last week (Zerba Cellars) & was very impressed how the owners keep up not only their store front, but the website with new wines, vintages, etc. The tastings are very well organized & often a fun learning experience (even if you think you know everything about wine). Their old world selection is very thorough, something here for everyone. I personally prefer Italian & Spainish wines & they always seem to have plenty of selection for both countries, in EVERY price range. Don't get me wrong, I usually spend at least $50-100 on 2-3 bottles, but I am still saving a great deal of cash because they don't gough you on the price-overall. Their downfall: they don't offer case discounts, but if you are interested in trying a nice wine (a bottle at a time) this is a great place to start, including their free Wednesday tasting & weekends 10 for $10... both excellent. I still buy the majority of my wine for the cellar at a few of the competitors (since much of the competition offers 20% off retail for 12+ bottles), but not every place has the great selection wine Xing does!!! Not to mention my favorites: they have a small focus on Pacific NW wines, particularly Washington big reds & great value on some of the harder to find wines. . Owners will also order some wines if you ask... It's a great place to try out some wines & know you will pay under regular retail by a few bucks per bottle!
Pros: Selection, Wine Tastings, friendly, informative & non-pushy service
Cons: Don't offer case discounts for large purchases.
