Renaissance Premium Wines & Cigars

I would give a better review as the owners are usually pretty friendly.  There is one who is always right on and ready to help.  The other guy makes me feel like I am an inconvenience, so I haven't been there in some time.  I attempted to special order a specific wine and was told we'll call you when it gets in.  I went in about 3 weeks after that and they had no idea what I was talking about.  I went in again and asked about ordering it and was told "it'll be here next Friday, we always order from that vendor".  I went in a few days after that Friday and was told it was never ordered.  Needless to say I attempted 3 times too many to order one specific type of wine and haven't been back since.  New Seasons one block over is good for that!!!!  It isn't a bad neighborhood spot to go drink wine and hang out.  Just don't special order from them and you'll be just fine!!!  I'll go back.....at some point.

When it comes to wine selection, you've gotta have someone you trust. Over the years, I've come to sincerely trust Mike's (Renaissance owner) palate, without fail. Anything on their shelf is trustworthy, and he and his staff's feedback and input is unpretentious and genuine. The tastings on Friday night are always poppin', and the wine flights throughout the week are always worth a spin. This is a landmark wine source in the Portland metro area.

One of the best places to get a glass.  Mike and Daniel are always helpful and if I don't know what I'm wanting, they are always there with the perfect suggestions.
