New to town and checking out the wine shops local to Vanderbilt. I walked in, no hello, no one asked if I needed help, just blank stares by the two guys behind the counter. I made eye contact with them several times and they were just staring at me. Pretty strange. So the service stunk because it was non-existent.
Most bottles I came across were $50+ and I thought I was in a high end place, until I came across some standard, entry level, Australian white wine that I've seen many times before...for $20...about $8 more expensive that I've seen elsewhere. So the place is overpriced and therefore not a good value for the consumer.
Although Village Wines is limited in space there seems to be a good number of options but the selection is limited by price range, mostly $50+ bottles, I'd like to see a wider price range represented in the store.
I did laugh to myself as I was looking around because almost all the wine bottles seemed to have a layer of dust on them. I was trying to figure out if these guys were attempting to make the store ""seem"" like an old wine cellar (if so that is HILARIOUS) or if their turnover on bottles is so low the dust has accumulated over the months/years.
Anyway, check it out and form your own opinion, if you value these reviews on CitySearch, I say go elsewhere. I won't be heading back anytime soon.
Pros: Location
Cons: Price, selection, service
