They have a very good selection of wines from inexpensive "every day" wines to more premium offerings in the mid-priced range. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.

I bought my first bottle of wine here when I was 21. I didn't own a corkscrew and asked them to open it. They told me it was against the law both for them to uncork it and for me to drive with it open. BUT, they did it and I remain a devotee' of Avenue Wine Shop! Oh, and I soon had a corkscrew!Parking is in back and can be entered from 17th Street.

In case anyone is interested in Avenue Wine Shop's wine tasting, I thought I'd share my experience. We used to go pre-COVID and I loved it. They would also have a food table of snacks like meatballs, cheese and crackers, fruit, etc. They fell off my "wine radar," but in July we were driving by. I stopped in to buy some wine and inquired about their wine tastings. I found out that they have wine tastings Sept-May, every Friday, from 4:30-7pm, for $12. I stopped in for their first fall tasting last night at 6:10pm. They had 5 wines (bottle prices were: two $10, two $20 and one $50). I work in Akron till 5, don't get home till 5:45, so 6:10 was the earliest I could ge there. However, even with 50 minutes left (1/3 of their tasting session), they had no food left. There had been meatballs, cheese and crackers and fruit. For all of you that regularly go to wine tastings, each of their 5 pours were half the size of Top Shelf Liquor's pours (Top Shelf has Friday 5-7 wine tastings). It ended up being $14 vs. Top Shelf's $5. So due to the small pours and high price and no food left, I won't be back. Plus when I went to pay, the register said $14.91, but they said it would be $15.90 something. I said tax on $14 is less than $1, so that was incorrect. He still said it was $15.90. Then after calculating 6.5% manually on $14 on a calculator and the result being 91, he said it was $14.91. So they tried to overcharge me twice. At least we had a nice time at a friend's house drinking wine afterwards.
