Just got back from Portugal recently and so good to know that I was able to find a wine shop in RVA that carries a small selection of Portuguese wines. They are located in the Church Hill area of Richmond, Va. They also offer some cheese, canned fish and meats. The staff was doing a tasting with a vendor when I arrived and they did acknowledge me when I entered. Towards the end, one person stepped away to see if I was ok which I appreciated and she was very friendly. I mentioned that I had been across the street at the Cobra Burger but hadn't noticed them and she advised if you purchase a bottle from them, you can take in the restaurant to drink and they will open for you and waive the corkage fee. I believe they offer tastings but not 100% sure.

We love this wine shop! Wonderful selection of wines, fresh baguettes (on certain days), a selection of cheese, sausages, olives and tinned fish. Just what you would hope for in a local wine shop. Right in the heart of Church Hill and easy to get to off of 25th St. Friendly and helpful service- looking forward to a return trip.

I am in love with Second Bottle. I find wine to be a beautiful thing. However, wine can be a little intimidating at times. Second Bottle takes away all these concerning things and makes it approachable and fun. As is true to wine, each bottle has a story. You have a chance to speed date your bottle by reading the beautiful detailed description around its neck made by the owner. Every bottle in the shop has a mini dive into what to expect from the wine.I think the way the wines are organized here are phenomenal. Marie Kondo would applaud the organization of this wine shop! Each wine is on a shelf labeled with which country or region it's from. There is also a variety of snacks to pick from (fresh baguettes included). Erin, the owner, is what makes this 5 star place deserving of 100 more stars. Her passion for wine and the winemakers is so inspiring. It's owners like her that make wine so special. I'm grateful Church Hill has a gem like Second Bottle. Be sure to try their free tastings on Thursday 5-7pm. Also there is no corkage fee if you want to have a bottle of wine with your burger at Cobra Burger next door. They also do a film and wine series with LC Cinema that I'm obsessed with. Could not recommend this place enough.

A beautiful and wonderful shop. So many good and interesting bottles at excellent prices. Something for everyone but they seem to have a focus on smaller producers, both traditional and natural. Ask the proprietor, she knows each bottle and has excellent recommendations.

During a stroll through Churchill we stumbled upon this wine shop! I am always looking for different wines to try and expand my palate with and this was the perfect place! Each wine features a hand written description that engulfs you in exactly what to expect of that wine. From food pairings to flavor profiles to the wine maker! It was the first time I've really appreciated a wine description and not felt overwhelmed on how to interpret what the label describes it as. There were several hand written tags that featured who the winemakers were... I found a beautiful red that was made by the first female winemaker in Mexico!!!! And the price points are perfect!!!!! They truly have a great system!!!! I couldn't spent hours just reading the tags and asking questions. Can't wait to come back!

I stopped here as part of a food tour and loved the local vibe of the shop and the owner. I wish I lived close by so I could stop in to get a great bottle of wine to go with whatever I was having for dinner. Lots of unusual wines from all over the world. Each wine has a great handwritten description of the wine and recommendations for food pairing too. Shop local and get an amazing bottle of wine!

This shop is fantastic. Good quality wine with and owner who knows her stuff. Great recommendations for any meal pairing or even just to find what you will love. Beautiful place to host a small gathering/tasting. Easy to locate thanks to the gorgeous mural on the side. Was hesitant to try the tinned fish but ultimately got the lobster, scallops and clams and will 100% be returning for more. Delicious. Even found some flaky finishing salt as a happy surprise. Don't skip this place!
