Pike and Western Wine Shop

Nice little wine shop in the middle of the Market District. We stopped in for a quick purchase. I walked around for a couple of minutes and was approached by Mike. I told him I was looking for an Aussie Sauv Blanc. I meant to say New Zealand. Well, he said he had a Great NZ Sauv Blanc walked me over to the Seresin Sauvignon Blanc. I told him I needed another bottle similar- and he led me to the Lobo Hills Sauvignon Blanc. I took them both and were outta there in just a few minutes.It is a nice shop. They have a good selection of wines. The staff provides knowledgeable information and recommendations.Being what I consider a "Boutique" wine shop the selection is, of course limited and the prices are a little higher. But all in all a good place to go.

A 5 star note to support a great local business.Excellent friendly staff, lots of interesting and eclectic selections, and some very unique tasting events being hosted here.Prices are a touch on the high side, but if you join their club, the 15% discount brings it down to an acceptable level.Worth a visit.

This place is located right by the Pike place. Cute and rustic store. I loved the way the wine bottles were displayed...all laying down so it's easier to read the labels. Great selection of amazing vintage. Got a bottle of Barbaresco 2009 vintage as a gift.

[Out-of-Towner Review]The name isn't lying. They got you. Wine, the cheap stuff, the middle range stuff, and the expensive stuff. They've got the white, the red, the bubbly, and of course the trinkets.We weren't greeted when we walked in. We perused the store. Found the section we were looking for - local wines under $20, specifically a Cab Sav.I think I was a little irked by the fact that the owner/employee didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in -- we were the only other humans in the small shop. He only spoke to us when we found our bottle of wine and brought it up to him to purchase it. We made small talk and he was nice, but he'd already left his impression on me.I thought it was cool, albeit touristy, to stop in this store. We love wine, so it was a no brainer for us. But when walking from PPM, you could easily miss this spot at the end of the street. Lucky for us, we had been siting across from it at their outdoor seating and charging (outlets for the public to use) stations. It caught our eye, so we went.Local wine without a touristy price!

Favorite wine shop in the city It has all of my old world favs Excellent value wines from the smaller houses in the bargain bins Finos and manzanillasNice Oregon selection too I only come down to pike place for this place

Kudos to the manager and staff here at Pike & Western!During my Seattle visit, I was able to check in here and pick some local wines. I specifically wanted local wines from Washington to bring back to California. Something that would compliment BBQ red meats and grilled white fish. I picked up six bottles recommended by the staff for my upcoming dinner parties. I didn't want to lug these bad boys home on the plane so I opted to have them shipped. Shipping was less than $20.00 so it was so worth the added cost. It took about two weeks for my delivery to arrive. They ensured that the wine would travel during safe temperature conditions (via UPS ground). Upon arrival, I opened up my purchases and immediately into my wine cellar. They have a supreme way of packing your bottles. I even kept the cardboard holders for the bottles. I haven't cracked them open yet but i'm excited to host my summer dinner parties. So I'll save the last remaining star for the wine tasting. I can't share the wines I bought at this time. Stay tuned.Make note that this place is pretty expensive because its in the tourist area of Pike's Place. So expect the dealers mark up. Helpful Hint: If you're having your wine shipped to you, the best way is to ship to your work address. We all know UPS will drop your precise package unattended on your door step.

This shop has become one of my must stop places whenever I visit the city. They carry an excellent selection of wine and the staff (at least the ones I have encountered so far) are very friendly and knowledgeable. The store itself is well organized and has a sophisticated yet relaxed feel to it. I love going to the market first, picking up some delicious food (mmm, fresh oyster shooters and smoked salmon anyone?), a few snacks from different stalls, then head over to this wine shop and grab a few bottles to enjoy back at the hotel. I would let the staff know what type of food I have with me, my price range, and then ask them for pairing recommendations. I like to do both congruent and complementary pairings, and so far, the staff there have been pretty spot on. There is no pressure to buy and you can tell that the staff truly enjoy what they do! Yes, since it is a "boutique" wine shop, the prices are a bit higher compare to a local grocery store. At the same time, you are paying for high quality service and valuable information on wines. Totally worth it in my opinion. Towards the back of the shop, there is a sales section featuring a variety of wines at discounted prices. I love digging through this area and picking up something that I would not normally consider to try.

We stopped in since it was the first wine shop along the way to Pikes. I was curious to see what brands they carried and price ranges.I spoke with the employees, who provided excellent choices to what my wine preferences were.I ended up buying 2 bottles of wine, one of which was an amazing blend - rosso and brachetto for about $20.The night I arrived back to SD, I busted out the blend at dinner. IT WAS DELISH!!!!!!!Trying to find the blend here but to no avail....

It was a decent sized wine shop and reasonable price. I came here for ice wine and the man at the counter was quite knowledgeable and explained why we cannot see that many Canadian ice wine. He recommended washington state one, well, because that was the only ice wine they had. Regardless it was quite fun visiting here.

What a total disappointment. I stop here to see what the place is about and to see if I can sample or even get a glass of wine.First of all the place is smaller 1000 sq Ft but in the front not much room to move around, but I'm a large guy and use to that. I walk in and start to look around. This woman giving a speech to maybe 5 people said sir you need to step outside and wait your turn and someone will be with you. She was so smart about it. I said I'm on the opposite side of the room, she said no can't do that. Terrible customer service. Lost any type of business you'd get from me.
