Boil it down to a selection of quality wines at really good prices and this is what you get at the Wine Store.

Nice owners and love the idea that you can load your card and taste as many samples as you like. They tasting almost every week and on weekends and they seem to have some great buys. The owner seems like a nice guy who could use some support for the locals. Give it a try

My wife and I LOVE coming here. We always get top knotch advice on wine pairings and have never had a suggested wine that we did not like. Their idea is not around selling the most expensive wines, its about finding an affordable $ 10 – 15 bottle(or bottles!) that taste like $ 40. Check out their tasting schedule. You can do some side by side taste comparisons with some higher dollar wines. And get the little card to try the other wines on the carousel. Sure, you are paying for the pour, but they are fairly generous. We go there to pre-game date night!

If Steve Jobs’ passion had been for grapes instead if apples, he would have envisioned a similar store experience, with a minimalist design and wine-tasting carousel for reds that offers three different-sized pours for each, while nearby there’s a chilled wall display for whites. All you need do is load up your card first, and you’re ready to sample! Ian and Anna are super-friendly and love helping you figure out what wine will taste/work best for you. This is a pretension-free wine shop, their selection is big(but not overwhelming), and their prices are excellent. And they host free wine tastings every Thursday night! Are you still reading this? Why, when you could be heading to Winestore instead?

After reading a few Unilocal reviews of WINESTORE I was eager to take a look. Off to their Cornelius location we went and was very pleasantly SURPRISED: Spacious and clutter free. Very well organized and PLEASING to the eyes AND& wine palate. Winestore scored well w/its location and inviting look. The truest test however would be if they either stocked the brand of Moscato we’d been iso of for 3 months. If not. .. at least offer to order it. A miss with having our wine INSTOCK but a TOTALSCOREBYOFFERINGTOPLACEANORDERWITHTHEIRSUPPLIER!!! YESSSS!!! A payment card swipe & biz card exchange and we were set! Ian called us the NEXTDAY to advise he’d secured 6 bottles. We picked up our long sought after ½ dozen vino 2 days later. Note: The regular price per bottle is $ 13 /special order $ 15. Reasonable IMO. A BIGTHANKYOUTOIAN&ANNA!

I have long-struggled to find a wine store I actually enjoyed visiting. The large stores always seemed overflowing with product and impersonal staff, who may or may not know a thing about wine. With the smaller shops, the knowledgeable staff was there, but the stock often was not. Enter the winestore… Great selection, the opportunity to taste the wines, a friendly and well-versed staff, and wines at a range of price points. I also love that they keep track of your purchases to help you on repeat visits. Put simply, we are lucky to have them in LKN.

I was awed before setting foot into this new Winestore location in Cornelius. The corner location is well lit with many windows that call your attention esp. at night. Upon entering, you won’t be overwhelmed with«wine everywhere.» Don’t get me wrong, there are myriad selections available but the layout of the store renders a welcoming feel that invites you in before overpowering you with the selections. The tasting area allows you to select your size(a taste, half glass, full glass). As you experience your wine tasting, you can peruse the wine selections categorized by white and red, then by preferences(light, medium, full-bodied). The setup is great. Ian and Anna will provide great assistance. If there is something you can’t find in the store, don’t hesitate to ask. The store is open and airy and for me, the only thing missing are comfy lounging chairs.

I had been waiting a long time for great wines to be delivered to my door… and finally… I have a Winestore within minutes of home! The new Winestore is as great as the other two stores… except twice the size! It is laid out very well. It is not overwhelming with wines all of the place. It is very open, extremely well lit and has the great wine carousel for tasting. The new stating carousel is high tech and offers 3(yes three) different pour selections from 1 ounce up to 3 per pour. And the manager, who moved from the South Park store is still providing 100% great recommendations on super wines!!!
