Great wine store with a wide selection of mainly Italian wines including a reasonable number from Piedmont. The staff were great and helped us find a range of different wines that we wouldn't usually be able to get outside of Italy including a couple of very interesting natural wines. Well worth a visit.

Loveliest tasting (surprised!) with cheese and meats. Bought 5 beautiful local wines - barberas and nebiolos including Barollos to take home to San Francisco. Lovely man and has owned the store for 20+ years. Must stop by. Amazing prices!!

Enoteca in un angolo molto verde, allestita all'interno in maniera molto suggestiva con il riutilizzo di materiali d'epoca. La scelta di prodotti e confezioni regalo è smisurata. Il titolare ci ha offerto una gradevole degustazione con tagliere e prosecco proposto da lui: sì, l'abbiamo anche acquistato! Bella esperienza, sicuramente da rifare!

As soon as you step inside, you're pleasantly surprised by such a beautiful and carefully designed shop. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, and the staff are always happy to recommend the perfect bottle, suggest food pairings or, whenever possible, offer a tasting.

Had a fantastic wine tasting with George! He chose four amazing wines from the region and served a beautiful antipasti spread for our large group. I highly recommend booking a wine tasting (great for a celebration) or simply to buy from his extensive selection of wines and spirits.
George is so kind and fun, and he makes both tasting and buying wine a real delight. It was such a wonderful experience!

If you are looking for wines and artisanal food to pair look no further. The owner Giorgio is friendly and helpful. He sat down with me for a wine tasting and even though I don’t speak Italian we had a spirited conversation. There is a very extensive selection of wines of all price ranges. The interior is cozy and soulful. Giorgio even gave me some tips for eating out and sightseeing and they were great! (Giorgio if you are reading this Caffe delle Rose was amazing, grazie mille!)

Schöne Weinhandlung
Große Auswahl
Italienische Weine,
aber auch Champagner.
Netter Inhaber (wenn man kein italienisch spricht, hilft vllt ein Sprachführer)
Wir sind fündig geworden und kommen gern wieder.

Siamo stati all'enoteca qualche giorno fa per una degustazione. L'ambiente è superaccogliente e ben curato, arredato molto bene e il proprietario è stato veramente gentile, disponibile e preparato.
Ci ritorneremo sicuramente per eventuali acquisti!

We hebben een geweldige middag gehad bij Giorgio. Hij heeft ons een hele lekkere lokale wijn laten proeven van het huis. Daarnaast heeft hij ons fantastisch geholpen met de keuze van de andere wijnen. Mochten we ooit weer in de buurt zijn, dan komen we zeker terug!
Grazie mille !
