Nice selection for a center of town location, but the bottles I was familiar with were all more expensive than usual. It was also disappointing to be lured in by a big banner proclaiming a sale which I was told had already ended.

What more can you ask for? A giant selection of wine near a bunch of BYOBs. They have a decent selection of beers as well. I’ve been meaning to try one of the wine classes, but haven’t yet.

Super cool wine store in downtown Summit. The place is huge and has a ridiculously large selection. Major props to them for being the first place I’ve found this summer to carry Sam Adams Octoberfest. Good selection and friendly staff but the prices keep me from rating this place any higher. It’s definitely a good place you can run to if you’re eating at a BYOB in Summit. I’m the furthest thing from a wine aficionado but the selection was excellent. Can’t beat that.

This is a big store right in the heart of downtown Summit. I have done both an in-store wine tasting as well as ordered wines for a client appreciation event. Everyone is SO knowledgeable and professional in this place. While their prices aren’t the absolute best, you will not find a more responsive GM in Neil who made my event purchases as smooth as can be. We will seek out their expertise for future events and my boyfriend and I will continue to go to wine tastings there with Ivan.

FULLDISCLOSURE: I have only once purchased wine from this store. However, I LOVE picking up a sandwich at lunchtime here. They have a smallish selection but there’s still a good variety to choose from. My favorite is a vegetable sandwich — which they cut in half for me, toast one half and I take the other for lunch the next day. Which of course makes it very affordable.

This is a really cute wine store. I love the layout. They use the space really well. And the racks on the wall are large and deep. They also sell cheese and there are round tables set up in the front of the store. It has the makings of a very charming wine boutique. So why only two stars? The prices are not right, Bob. There are plenty of other wine shops in northern NJ where you can get better deals. The fiancée and I walked around for a good 15 – 20 minutes and considered many different bottles but nothing seemed original enough to spend the money. It’s rare when we’ll walk out of a wine store without a purchase. Today, that’s what we did. I also got the feeling that the guys working the floor are helpful. Someone came up and told us about their yellow tag specials(30% off any bottle with a yellow tag). He seemed quite available if we had any questions, though we did not. If you’re in a pinch and are passing by on your way to a party, you can easily find something good here. The scotch here is also overpriced.

Update — still the best place in town for wine, with the friendly and knowledgeable staff always making great recommendations.

I went in before picking up the wife to get an idea as to which wine I should use for sangria. I wish I got the name of the gentleman who helped me, but he was probably one of the managers or the owner. He steered me directly towards a wine that he told me he uses for his own sangria mixture. It was a very nicely priced wine, and I was very happily surprised that I wasn’t pointed towards something more expensive. He then took the time to go over some ideas for what else to add, and I must say, I never had such a great experience. I highly recommend checking this place out. All the people there were very nice and friendly. Nice large space with a lot of selection!

This is a rather large wine store right on Springfield Ave, and I was pleasantly surprised at their stock in different kinds of wine, which is varied and interesting. The prices on moderately-priced bottles are competitive, and they were good too on the more expensive things. The man working the floor was knowledgeable about some Italian wines from the Veneto that I was asking about, and he was friendly, chatty, and obviously had a passion for wine. Next time I’m in town I’ll stop by again and pick up a bottle!
