Wine Cellars of Annapolis

Very knowledgeable staff! I walked in and needed a bottle for a specific occasion and I was greeted right away and given excellent advice on some french reds. Thank you!!!!

The best place to buy wine with knowledgeable Matarrita, wine tastings and grapes wine bar/ bistro adjacent, as well as gourmet cheese..

I don't live far from Wine Cellars but would travel to come here! This is the best place to get your wine, at least those that care even a little bit about quality. The staff is A+, always there to check in and offer advice/recommendations without hounding you or following you around. They're always doing something but take time to ask how its going and whether you need any help. The wine selection is amazing. The offer detailed explanations about a lot of their offerings so us novice folks understand what we're getting. They buy in bulk and from smaller vineyards, giving you access to high-quality and unique options. And usually at a discounted price! Hungry for more, its attached next to a wonderful restaurant...but thats another review! :)

Great selection and extremely knowledgeable staff. Need a recommendation for a good pairing with the meal planned? Done! Want to build your meal around recommendations to pair with the wine you fell for at the regular Saturday wine tasting? They have you covered there too. The barrel room provides helpful tasting notes for each of the wines and you are always sure to get the right level of guidance you want/need, whether you are a wine expert or a total novice.

This place rocks. Amazing selection!! They also have a tasting section with discounted wines. You can actually taste most of these wines before you purchase. WOW! Many selections in the discounted section priced between $12 -$20. The staff is very knowledgeable and has always helped me pick out great selections. Many I have never heard of but I love picking out a wine I have not tried and having it be perfect. I am the designated wine selector for every Thanksgiving and Christmas family gathering. I purchase wine for 25 to 40 relatives. Most of them are self proclaimed experts in wine, so the pressure is on. They think I rock, really now the credit goes to Wine Cellars of Annapolis for making all of my wine selections a happy event for my big family. You must check this place out. They expanded their store and also offer cheese, pasta and some imported beer. They sell spirits which are displayed in the front of the store near the register.Get on their email list for all the information about tastings and price specials, you will not be disappointed.

I love the fact that these guys at Wine Cellar are friendly and helpful. Not a big surprise since they're connected to the awesome Tastings Market where you can get baguettes and cheese to go with your wine. There are a lot of higher end wines here- fine and dandy but I'm perfectly happy with a great $10 bottle of wine too. Good thing they have a few along with several that are always on sale.

They get 4 Pinocchio's on wine pricing. Just about everything has a regular price marked and well as a "sale" price. Unfortunately, their regular prices are not real and their "sale" prices are higher than you would pay elsewhere. Carry your cellphone to price check when shopping. Why try to deceive customers? The associated restaurant Grapes is fine except for their so called "happy hour" wine garden. You can get a $5 glass of wine (6 choices) but all food items are regular price. Menu actually stated cheeses for cheese plate were $4 each, but we were told that menu was outdated, and price was $5 each. We were only customers there and server seemed bother that they had to come out to wait on us. Will not return. Go to Blackwall Hitch for happy hour, and you'll be a lot happier.

Poor curation of wine selection distracts from the friendly helpful staff and weekend wine tastings.Reading their weekly flyer every wine they sell is promoted as the "best on earth" wine. In reality much of their wine, especially at the $20+ a bottle price point is a very poor value. They have cozy relationships with a few distributors/negociants and promote a lot of their very mediocre wine. I was a good customer throughout the pandemic when cases of cheap wine were essential to life, but then realized after buying many of their featured wine selections, that they didn't have a very good QPR (quality/price ratio). i.e. they weren't a good value for the money.So I am no longer a customer. I would advise anyone thinking about buying here to do your homework and check out the online wine reviews. Stay away from anything with no reviews and read between the lines when you do find reviews. Most wine reviewers are reluctant to say anything really bad about the wines they review, and keep in mind that grade inflation has long ago permeated wine reviewer ratings.

Great sparkling wine selection. Had just what I needed. Good prices. I appreciate the staff suggesting their most popular wine.

This is a great store that I've been going to for years. Great service. I always appreciate the recommendations of staff on wine, the wine tastings, and the many specials offered.
