Hausfrau Haven

Somehow, having lived in German Village and been in the area often after that, I never made it here. I assumed it was a gift shop, maybe with tchotchkes and kitchenware, German snacks, German Village souvenirs. I was nearby today and time to kill, so I went in, finally. And: it's a wine shop. It does say "wine and gifts" outside but I figured it leaned towards gifts. And I am not a wine drinker. If I were, it looks like a heckuva good wine shop. There are also plenty of local beers in a cooler. A few gifts, mainly in the form of sarcastic cocktail napkins, drinking accessories, etc. Not my kind of place, but I will be directing "winos" here.

The people who work here are so knowledgeable, you can walk in and describe what you want and they will give you 5 options with various price points. They are fast, nice and I don't even look myself anymore, I tell them what we are looking for and they give me options and I trust them because they are never wrong!

What more could you want in a wine shop! This is the perfect little cozy place. I want to live here, lol! They have such a wonderful selection of wines and everything is fairly priced. The employees are very helpful and knowledgeable. They actually have a decent amount of wines here that seem really unique and that I've never seen before in regular grocery stores, so I usually try to pick up something new every time I come. They also have a cute little bar in the shop as well so it'd be fun to come for a drink and then take a bottle home with you. If you live in the German Village or anywhere close by you should definitely check this place out and shop local!

Really great wine selection ranging anywhere from inexpensive to some of the higher more expensive wines. I personally find the organization of it easy for finding what you're looking for.I personally have not dealt too much with the staff as I do feel like I am knowledgeable in wine and haven't needed too much in terms of recommendations or finding something.

Lovely selection of wines, with an emphasis on French and California wines. Great homey vibe in the location itself and a helpful / dedicated / passionate staff. While their French, California, Oregon, and Italian wine selection is superb, I do wish they had a larger breadth of Spanish and Argentinian and Chilean options.

Only reason not 5 stars is I wish they stayed open later. Great selection, helpful staff. I'm a member of the wine club and enjoy seeing what I get each month. Wine bar is open on Friday and Saturday and always a good time with excellent service. A must for locals!

Really like both parts of this establishment!I'm not knowledgeable about wine, but they had a VERY extensive selection, plus a corner with beer and soda.They have a little wine bar and some tables, where the owner is happy to pour you some to try. She was extremely nice and helpful.Best of all, they have a store cat.There's also a laundromat next door with the same name, so I'm assuming they are owned by the same people. It is a really cute, very retro place, with everything you need in a place to wash your clothes: coin machine, soda machine, sink, tables, benches, reading material, and of course, a scale that gives insight to your personality [for the low cost of 1 cent]. But they don't like when you bring blankets.My friends and I go to OSU but come all the way down there to do our laundry, because it's a really nice place and a fun trip. Wir sind schon Hausfrauen.....

Great little wine shop, tons of selection. However, the grey haired gentleman working there must have been having a bad day. When I went to do some research of a few bottles of wine, I noticed there was little cell service. The names of the WiFi suggest that it is for patrons of the shop. I asked if I could have the password, and was given a condescending NO with a giggle along the side, and instantly felt unwelcome. When I asked for help finding Medoc, he said "any of the ones that say Medoc on them." I did not want to buy wine from here after that, but I did because... because wine!

Very unique place! Not only is it a bar, but this small shop sells wines and other goodies! We came here because some friends live in the neighborhood and are regulars. Wine was always filled promptly and they brought our table snacks (popcorn, m&m's). I'd definitely frequent this place if I lived in the area!

Every wine you'll ever thirst for and a great staff! Thanks for my special orders, Dave.
