Whispering Vine Wine

What is there not love about this place? It is packed FULL of wine, they have a full bar, the staff is friendly and they offer food from the other vendors in the shopping center. A friend of mine and I stopped in on Saturday and ordered a couple of flights — she had the Import flight and I opted for the Red Blend flight. Both were around $ 10 each and came with 3 tastings. All of the wines that we sampled were delicious and after talking with our server for a bit, we found a couple of bottles to purchase. We also ordered the cheese platter that Yosh’s Deli brought over and it was $ 15. It was piled high with a variety of cheeses, meats and crackers — a perfect snack for wine tasting. We had a blast walking through the store to look at all of the different wine they had to offer as well as the signs they put on the bottles to tempt you to buy them. Their bottle prices are also very reasonable and they have such a great selection that you’ll be sure to find something to your liking.

Julie was super attentive and hospitable; she helped us decide what to drink and offered us a few tastings to help make up our minds. I’ve been into this shop before, but never stayed and enjoyed my wine there and I’m so glad my friend and I did yesterday. We enjoyed the quiet environment and our bottle of Chardonnay! It was refreshing to be in a quiet wine bar and was able to catch up with a friend I haven’t seen in awhile. I can’t wait to come back due to the awesome service Julie gave us. Thank you Julie!

The selection of wines is amazing. The staff knows their stuff (this reads funny). If you want to unwind after a long day at work, this is the place. Just sit between shelves full of delicious wine and allow for the day to slow down. This place not only have good selection of bottles, but also by the glass. And has wine flights (3x3oz). The place gets packed in the winter, but when it is warm, they have a little outdoor sitting area that doubles the shop’s place. The store has limited selection of appetizers, but you are encouraged to order from neighbouring Yosh’s or SqueezeIn and the food will be delivered. This place was a much needed alternative to Vino100 (not that nice of a place after change of ownership a few years back). Then the Summit wine place closed down, but Whispering Vine came to the rescue of South Reno!

What a lovely little place! This was my first time and it was near closing. The server stayed late a hadn’t even had lunch yet! I felt bad for her, but she was in such great spirits. Everyone was having a great time. The wine selection was awesome I can’t wait to go back.

Always an excellent stop. Lots of choice selections of great wines at moderate to higher prices. There is something for everyone’s taste and pocket book.

Although the wine choices and prices are good the service is lacking customer service. A bit on the snobby side; one server acted as if she was doing me a huge favor handing me a menu. Only on one occasion did I have decent service and she was new — guess she hasn’t been trainned to be rude rude, yet!

I was here this past Saturday for my friend’s birthday. We sat outside because the weather was beautiful. They had a lovely outdoor seating area where we could chat the night away while enjoying our wine. I didn’t get a chance to make it inside and see what all they had to offer.
The service was alright. It wasn’t anything exceptional, but it wasn’t awful. Our waitress, server, wine helper (do they have any specific names for wine servers at wine shops?) was attentive and kind. She was knowledgeable of her wines and had good suggestions for what kind of taste we were looking for.
I will definitely be returning here, and perhaps buying a bottle or two of wine that we enjoyed this past weekend!

Great wine, horrible service when busy. Only food options are soggy cracker & cheese plates or you can order from neighboring restaurants ?! They are very friendly when they do get around to serving you. The location at Mayberry is waaaay better– fast friendly service & they will actually greet you immediately. Also more tables.

This place is great. The wine selection is not enormous but it is very well chosen at each price point. The service is friendly and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. It’s also a great place to meet with friends. It is usually busy after work, but there are a good number of tables to sit at both inside and outside and with all the wood it doesn’t seem to get too loud. Also, if you want to sit at the wine bar they have a nice one and they also keep a nice selection of already chilled wine that you can buy and take with you.

This wine shop like the elite Shoe, Olive Oil, Pizza, places next to it is another nice piece of brilliance for Reno. They are selling Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc in the $ 8 range which is cheaper than Bens’, Costco, Total Wine, and a hell of a lot cheaper than the Sav-​Mart which sells it for $ 14 this week in a big «sale!». I’ve seen that wine priced at $ 18 in CA. Anyway it’s neat they can undercut box stores while still selling sublime high end wines in wood boxes throughout store. The place has a cool vibe and a sense of humor.

Their bar is a little small, but they make up for it with the tables they have spread outside and throughout the store.
They have a very large wine selection, as well as they have whiskey flights to taste which is what I like the best. My wife drinks wine, and I’m more of a whiskey kinda guy.
The prices are very fair, and what else is neat about this little place is that any of the resturants that are around will deliver food to you while you are enjoying your beverages. they also have a very good cheese and meat tray. You should check this place out

Went on a Friday and it was real busy but the service was fantastic. Friendly and helpful. Great experience. Will definitely be going back again.

My husband and I really enjoy going here! We always are greeted by someone who has a very friendly manner about them. They carry a wide variety of wines. I really like how you can get a flight of 3 wines to try for the price of one. They also are the only place in town that I’ve found that carries Del Dotto (one of our favorites). It’s worth a try! Plus they have other spirits a beer as well!

The best part of Whispering Vine Wine in South Creek Shopping Center is that they are great organizers and excellent team players.
Just like the Sip&Stroll on every 3^rd Tuesdays of the month — Tomorrow, August 19, 2014 from 4−7pm.
They pull together with other business owners to market the event and invite people to the center. You can buy a $ 20 pass at Whispering Vine, get a bracelet pass, and walk around the center from store to store to sample wine and learn about the different businesses. What a great event!

Uh oh. This place is less than three miles from my house. That could be dangerous!
After a nice study session and Yosh’s Deli, a friend and I walked to Whispering Vine for a glass of well-​deserved wine. We picked a little table in the corner, but unfortunately, we needed to plug in our laptops, so that didn’t work for us. We asked the clerk where to find plugs, and she nicely offered to let us plug in at the bar.
I ordered a pinot noir rose, and my friend ordered a buttery chard. We both enjoyed our selections, and sipped happily while working. After my friend tried my wine and appreciated how refreshing it was on a hot day, I told her that her wine, Mer Soleil, came in an unoaked version, which would be a more crisp version of the wine she was drinking. The clerk overheard me, and offered to pour a taste. Then, she brought out a different wine for us to try. I really appreciated her knowledge and willingness to let us try wines that we might enjoy.
I browsed their bottle selection, which is extensive, with very reasonable prices. If you buy 12 bottles, you get a discount, but they also have punch cards if you’re not down with buying a whole case, but you would still like a discount!
I also noticed that they have antipasta platters for purchase — and they looked delicious!
I can definitely see myself spending a lot of time here, and bulking up my home wine selection with some of their great bottles!

wow, I am such a fool. I have lived right by this place for over a year and I had no idea what it really was. well, until I actually went in there with a pal. What a great place. no wonder I always see a bunch of happy people sitting outside drinking wine.
The large inventory of great wines was great. Prices seemed really good and I was able to try some new wines that were delicious. Service was great too.
A table next to us had their dog there so if you sit outside, you can drink wine and have your dog. Heaven.

I’m the first to admit I don’t know as much about wine as I’d like, but every time I go to a wine shop I learn a little bit more. Ashamedly though, I don’t go to wine shops near enough. But after my last visit to Whispering Vines, I think I’ll be checking out more wine, more often, because I’ll definitely be visiting this place a whole lot more.
Whispering Vines is a retail shop that also serves wine, beer, and SPIRITS! I love that when you choose to hang out there, you get to drink among the wine bottles, and admire all of what they have to offer. If you see something you like on the shelf, you can just tell your server and they’ll gladly open it right up. Or, you can ask them for a recommendation based on your tastes and they’ll steer you towards a great pick.
As a person still exploring wine, I like their flights quite a bit. Reds and whites of all varietals, plus blends can all be sampled in them, with 3 – 4 different wines and wine makers per flight. You can explore the flavor profiles on your own or pick up tasting notes from the helpful staff. I tried the red blend flight and enjoyed the differences of each, even though I couldn’t tell you what I drank.
The vibe here is awesome and the staff is super friendly. It’s no wonder this place is kind of like «Cheers» for many. I’ll be back soon because I loved their whiskey selection and spotted High West Campfire on their menu, one I’ve been meaning to try for a while now!
If you’ve never visited, this is a great spot to sample solo or explore with friends. I’ll see you there!

Sometimes walking into a wine place can be intimidating for those who don’t partake often or don’t study (yikes) wines. Whispering Vine is nothing like that — it has a cool, easy going vibe that makes you feel welcome. The staff is very nice and the selection is fantastic.
I have been several times, sat inside and out, at a table and the bar. Outside is great — and one of the real cool things is the restaurants in the complex will deliver to you so you can enjoy lunch or dinner on the patio with your favorite wine.
The selection is huge, everything you may want or need. And if they dont have it, they can get it. Last Christmas they ordered a case for me and had it in just a few days. For you beer drinkers, they also have a nice selection of craft beers, both on tap and bottle. So go have a glass, you’ll enjoy.

Even though this place is only 2 minutes from my house, I had never been here before a couple of weeks ago. I was invited to try this place out by some people at work. They said how nice it was during the warmer months because they had a patio where you could sit. Were they ever right! It was really nice and they have some great tasting options. You can either buy a glass if you know something you already like or you can do tasting flights. I have only done the Pinot Noir flights (you get very generous pours of 3 different types of Pinot). There has never been a time where I didn’t get one that I absolutely hated. It’s nice to be able to try different wines you wouldn’t normally try.
The cheese plate is great! If you want more than that, you can order from the deli next door. Or, you can go to the Mexican place across the way once you are done with your wine. Can get pretty busy (especially on a Friday night), so get there early if you want to sit on the patio!
Also, Shannon is an amazing server! If you’re ever lucky enough to get her, treat her well!

My wife and I stopped in and had a glass of wine. The wine was excellent and the bartender was very knowledgable and helpful. We loved the Gregory Grahm Zin. It was outstanding. We bought 2 bottles and a set of wine glasses. Only disapointment was they serve no food. We will be going back
