This hidden gem of a wine store certainly is not for the faint of heart. At first you may feel a bit overwhelmed due to the immense selection of wines, but the staff here is very friendly and willing to help you find what you need. It helps to look on their website first to get an idea of what they have on inventory before diving in and getting lost in their multiple rooms filled with innumerable bottles. Although getting lost in this place isn’t necessarily a bad thing either!

I will start with the fact that this place has really great wine bottles to purchase. However, we went for a wine tasting which turned out to be a total event planned to advertise a wine tasting called the American fine wine competition. We paid $ 45 for this particular event only to be met with two tables set up for wine. The first was a Michael David table with five wines which was divine. The second table was hosted by someone from Wine Watch or the event they wanted us to spend money on. That event cost $ 300 to which they were giving us a discount of $ 50 if we purchased tickets that night. We did not want to go to that event. The lady was pushing us to buy tickets with each initial pour of wine and propaganda designed to make us feel guilty every time we wanted to taste another wine bottle. To boot, they had given us a list of wines they were showcasing, only to be met with denials by the wine lady as to her not wanting to open a bottle that was on the list. After we asked for several bottles to be opened, she blatantly said that these bottles were leftovers form last year’s American fine wine competition and that really the purpose of this event was to get us to go to the other event. They had a table of small delicious appetizers but we were made to feel like we should not be there if we were not shelling out another $ 250 to taste ‘over 700 bottles of wine’. At the end of this event we asked for her to allow the representative from Michael David wines to open a bottle of his own stash of Inkblot and she completely ignored us and the guy felt bad and opened it anyway. Not a friendly atmosphere at all! And if you’re trying to push another event then don’t hold a half ass one and expect people to buy another event ticket when your attitude was less than inviting and derogatory.

Hands down, the #1 wine shop in South Florida, possibly the southeast. Selection like no other. You name it, Andrew can get it ! While I am not a huge buyer(6 bottles at a time at most)’ I am treated like one. Very easy to spend an afternoon gazing and locating all those wines you have only read about. Lots of nooks and crannies throughout the shop hiding those hidden gems. Wines for every nose, palate and wallet ! Plan an afternoon and stop by. You won’t be sorry !!!

Best Wine Shop in Broward & PalmBeach County! Andrew & The gang are not only knowledgable but extremely helpful. They have wines & Vintages that you can’t find. Access to rare wines and wines that are hard to get because if Andy’s stature in the wine world! Even though I am one of Andy’s more value oriented clients he treats me like a King! Even the $ 15 – 20 dollar price points are unusual and drink like more expensive wines.(Not your typical big box wine stores) If you do not shop here your missing out! I agree with the other review, sign up for the emails where the videos are full if wine knowledge and funny(when Andy does one of his Characters)

Andy is not a fan of my favorite wine but none the less he has an INCREDIBLE selection of wines for all palates. When you walk in just humbly tell him or one of the guys what it is you are looking for and 9 of 10 times it will be an outstanding selection. Wine watch is a dummy free way to purchase. The guys at the shop really know there vino’s.

I recently did an online order with Wine Watch. I was looking for a particular vineyard and a year. I found Wine Watch via an online wine search engine, . They listed them as having HazyBlur Shiraz 2003 for a decent price. I was purchasing it as a gift for my husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary and needed it by Friday. Wine Watch delivered. I replaced my order early Wednesday Morning,(Due to another wine company cancelling my order that I had placed on Monday) by Wednesday afternoon I had an email from Wine Watch confirming my wine had shipped. I was very pleased with the way it arrived as well. It was packaged very secure. I’m very pleased with my order and I would recommend them time and time again! Great service!

This is a unique wine shop, bursting at the seams full of different types of wine from around the world. The owner is extremely knowledgable. Go to the website and sign up for the emails. The website will also show the different wine tastings and events that are scheduled throughout the coming weeks. Brown bag Saturday is an interesting tasting on late Saturday afternoons. Bring your own disguised bottle of wine, and everyone tries to guess the grape.
