This is a great little wine shop, well curated, with a variety of more distinctive offerings. A wine buyer is available for consultation, and if you're looking for a particular item, they can try and search it for you, if not in stock - no guarantees they will find it available, but the extra service is certainly worthwhile.As an added bonus, there is a pizza shop in the same building - they put the pies together and you can take and bake them at home. It's a real treat & unique experience to put that offering in your home oven and have a hot fresh from the oven pizza with your wine.Parking can be a little bit tight at times but there is nearby street parking in the event the lot is full.Counter staff is friendly, helpful, & talkative - which adds to the unique experience you just won't get as readily at a bigger wine store.

Gentile's is a cute little wine/beer shop in Grandview. They have an interesting selection of different wines and beers, including a lot of local brews and nice looking wines. It might not be the place to go to get large cases of cheap beer, but I did see a bit of domestic stuff in the cooler in the back, but for sure if you're looking for something interesting and are willing to branch out!There's pizza up front, and while I wasn't hungry at the time, the smell almost changed my mind! One stop Friday night shopping at it's finest!

Great service. They are super knowledgable about their stock. They have very reasonable price points and great value wines. They'll order things for you if they're out of stock. Highly highly recommended from a california wino

I've frequented this classic Grandview spot for the past twenty plus years. A staple in the neighborhood. GWS had an amazing assortment of wines from rich French blends to fresh Californian varietals. Josh and team allows being their "A" game when it comes to assisting customer with the perfect selection. Their knowledge of wines is impressive. So don't hesitate to ask for their perspective. One of the best craft beer selections in the area.Mama Mimi's fresh pizzas and salads is also housed in the front portion of the business. Give them a try- you won't regret it!M Todd Bergdoll. #buylocal

I just looked at mead and craft beer. Immediately upon entering the store yesterday I smelled pizza, heard James Taylor overhead, and saw one of my favorite beers- Weihenstephaner Vitus! They have a nice hard to find craft beer selection and also carry several of Columbus's own Brothers Drake delicious meads. I didn't spend much time browsing the other stuff but my brief experience was positive and showed me they have a unique selecton I will be sure to return to explore.

I want to thank Bobby for helping me try new wines and selling me on wine that he's tried and described to me. I ended up loving his 3 recommendations and as always Gentiles has been my go to wine store for a very long time.

Founded by Ralph Gentile, this emporium stocked tight with well selected wines, local craft beer, and hobby equipment for home brewing has been around since 1954. Under son Roger's tutorage it grew into a strong local brand that serves the tastes and desires of Grandview's best amanti del vinos and self proclaimed bathtub Bacchuses. Today the store carries on under Roger's son in the space shared with Mama Minis Pizza on N. Star and King.Oh the places forgotten: I spent a year in the 5xNW area a long time ago and shopped Gentile's often. I loved it. It supplied me with new beers and a few wines for experiment at a time before I became a lovely lunatic for the fermented grape. But over the years the place slipped from my memory until I was reminded by Yelper Giovanna A. Thinking I need another bottle in my modest collection ( you should always keep a pair and a spare of every type of wine I say!) I stopped by my next trip to the neighborhood. They seem to more a proponent of spirits than just a simple store. They wait by the door to introduce their selection to clientele. Their webpage has a blog that talks about wine; very well written, the entries introduce interesting bottles amid strong imagistic stories with intriguing leads, crisp wording, and tactile emotion. A must read! They of course have wine tastings, the last featured a flight of Bordeaux wines for $35. Seems like a good way to get familiar with novel types.Their wine selection is their best attribute. These are not industrial wines but bottles of top quality and pedigree. Name a region and they have a sample of wines from there. Ditto for nation; France, Germany, Italy, South America. They have Mead from B. Drakes, and a shelf of Sake. There were too many beautiful bottles to choose from! I settled for a Mendoza vino, Alma Negra's M Blend, of which the label teases, refusing to reveal the contents of the blend. It brags of the mystery of the black mask--pure Argentina sexiness--and the seduction got me; we all have to quench our black souls after all. I haven't tried it yet, it's Moonstruck label sits on my rack, waiting. They also services weddings and other events. Homemade brew is not a hobby of mine but I bet they will guide and help you master the skills. Their craft brew selection is serviceble but falls short of being extensive. I think wine is their main strength and passion.

Very helpful staff, selection is not what it was a few years ago but they can pretty much get what ever you want in the beer and wine department. They have a good stock of home brew/winemaking supplies. The smell of fresh backed pizza always welcomes you too. Beer and wine making supplies fill the back of the store and if there is something you need they will order it in to be picked up within a few days.

Hands down, best wine selection in the city! This isn't like Kroger or Giant Eagle with tons of options but mostly mediocre quality. And it's curated with a better selection than other local bottle shops. Yes, there's beer and beer brewing supplies, but I go for the wine. Roger Gentile takes time to select great wines from around the world (New World, Old World, small & large producers) and doesn't charge you a fortune for them. $10? $20? $80? Whatever you're looking to spend, they have something good.Know nothing about wine? You could buy any bottle and get a good one (or ask the friendly, knowledgable staff). And if you're a budding sommelier, this is heaven. Best bottles of wine I've ever had!
