Wine on Piedmont

As much as my ego would like to think otherwise, when it comes to wine, my credentials are probably only good enough to get me in the door. I know what I like, and I know what I don't, but if you ask me to pick up a bottle, I may or may not pick based off of how nice the label looks. Sorry, but with all due respect to BevMo's associates, I've never been sure how much faith to put into what their associates know about different merlots, pinot noirs, and rieslings (though, you can't not love their $.05 wine sale). And yet, as we've already established, who am I to judge what they do or do not know...For the most part, Wine on Piedmont looks like just about any other wine shop, albeit a little on the smaller side. However, they've still got a wide selection of bottles and varietals to choose from, as nearly every inch of the place has something to offer. What's more, in the event you're looking to pick up other adult beverages, they also have a solid collection of craft beers and ales, as well as an interesting range of liquors to choose from (including some whiskeys I've never even heard of!). They've even got a modest little set up in the back for their weekly wine tastings ($10), where you can sample 4-5 different wines that typically follow some sort of theme - wines from Greece, French bubblies, offerings from a specific winemaker, etc. Despite all of those great things that they have to offer, the most appealing thing about Wine on Piedmont just might be the folks who run this place. In particular, Brian (the owner?) is awesome - super friendly, very easy to talk to, and he really knows his stuff (as far as I can tell, anyways). He answered all of my questions with ease and was quick to make suggestions based on what my friends and I were looking for. Quite simply, he instilled a lot of confidence in what he had to say, which was fantastic considering how I'm trying to learn more about different wines and their profiles.Since I haven't frequented many wine shops in the past, I can't say how their prices compare, but they seemed pretty fair for the most part (their beers were comparable to a nearby market). All in all, even though Piedmont isn't particularly close to where I am, I have no doubt we'll be back, whether to hit up another one of their wine tastings or if I'm in the area and in need of a good bottle of wine that has more than just a pretty looking label!FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up.

Really late in posting this review. This is my go to wine and spirit shop. I could trust Brian and the staff to find me the right wine for the pairings or just to enjoy. Brian has stepped away and Adriana is the new owner. She has been with the shop a few years. She's great. I needed a wine to go with a rich pasta dish, she nailed it! My hosts loved the wine. I wanted a smoky Mezcal. She explained the different ones they carried and suggested one. It is just what I wanted. The shop is special. Wines from all over and for every budget.

I had a colleague recommend this shop and I was very impressed. When I was there, the two sales people were very helpful and were able to help me select what I was looking for. Good selection, too! Would recommend!

I have passed by this location a few times now and finally went in. The visit is during COVID, 3 customers are allowed in at a time. I came in and put on hand sanitizer as instructed on the table near the door. I was assisted by a woman working there. There was 2 people on the floor to assist (the owner and one of the employees); so a total of 5 people capacity in the store. The layout was really organized and nice with the wine racks lined up along the wall and a display wine bottle on the first row. I never had such a pleasant experience shopping for wine before. The employee gave me suggestions on the wine I was looking for and helped me wrap it as well. I was looking for a bottle as a gift for my mom. The sheer amount of wines that I have never seen or heard of was a bit overwhelming so I'm glad I got help. I can't wait until my next visit to grab bottle for myself.

It might seem strange that a wine store has 5 stars on yelp. But, nope. Totally deserved!! I've been here a few times, mainly to buy the most delicious gin in the world ( Destilerias Acha Atxa Sierra De Orduna Pacharan ) It's Spanish, it's a sloe gin, and it's absolute heaven in a bottle. It's also the only place in NorCal to get it because they have a fantastic selection and outstanding customer service. While I'm buying my gin, my husband picks up beer, wine and usually finds other things because the owner (I think) is super knowledgeable about all their products and gives great recommendations. Check this place out. Great selection, awesome staff, and when my gin comes back in (out of stock due to shipping) buy a bottle and have the best gin and tonic of your life. You're welcome, everyone. :)

I love this wine store!! The people here are stellar, so well informed and helpful and fast, to boot. Ask them about their Italian wines, my favorite. They'll turn you on to so many varietals. Drink well!

I love this place! I've been buying from this store for a few years now. It's my go to place for Prosecco. What I especially enjoy is that I am always treated with dignity and respect. I was once in this store and a homeless person wondered in and asked for a sample size bottle. The owner very politely said and I quote I apologize that we don't carry the sample sizes and the person quietly left the store. The owner had no idea I overheard the conversation. I am learning about tequila and the owner takes time to explain the different types to me patiently! I am a slow learner but he helps me get it!I cheated once and went to BevMo with a friend. It was horrible! Including the customer service. I am now a WOP loyal customer!!

Carrying a Poke Bowl, not feeling a sake, i saw a standing board in front announcing "Craft Beers" there wasn't a lot of them in the fridge. yep, wine goes with poke too. riesling, "white", sauvignon toobrew: "fevertree" premium ginger beer (3.49)-24 gms of sugar, no buzz, no alcohol, nice fizzy brew. real ginger used.3ish starstake outs:-gonna try a reisling or ...soon with Poke,probably will come from a wine shop, not cvs nor walgreens.-4 stars for the professionism in not upselling me while i'm starving....

Great selection! Staff is friendly and are knowledgeable. They always help me find new and good picks

This shop is the best place to get personalized, thoughtful recommendations from a team that genuinely wants you to find the best beverage. Adriana and Brian before her go the extra mile for their customers, including providing carefully selected wine for our wedding on only a few days notice. It's also pillar of the community and hosts lovely Friday wine tastings. Thank you!
