What a homey and comfortable wine cellar this place is. Very friendly service and accomodating. Lovely and super comfortable couches. No fee for the wine we were tasting that afternoon which led us to buy 3 bottles with a 10 percent discount. What a great deal. Â They also have music playing outside , so you can enjoy your wine in their outside patio. Will definitely recommend everyone to check out this place. Â Worth the stop!!!
Review Source:I like this little wine shop! Yes, it's in a touristy location and it caters to tourists, but they have a good selection of hard to find wines. The prices are a bit high, but it's a fun place to browse and the staff will leave you alone and won't bother you unless you ask them for help. They also have a good selection of cute and original wine-related items (cocktail napkins, corkscrews, picnic glasses, greeting cards, etc.). Worth a stop and a quick browse if you are in Yountville.
Review Source:Completely ignored. Never greeted as staff too busy chatting among themselves and sampling wine ( isn't this illegal while working? It is in our state). We spent at least 10 minutes in here with no welcome, no interaction. How wonderful to be so successful that you can be blatantly rude to customers. Â Remember that scene from Pretty Woman? Â Big mistake, huge!
Review Source:This is an excellent wine store. They have a ton of cool knick knacks, but what's behind the ropes in a collection of crazy good, hard to find, and sometimes super expensive stuff. I heard recently that they were the victims of an unfortunate robbery, where they got like $60K of goods in under 10 min. Someone was casing them im sure. But what's left is still phenomenal. I'd go for just the Domaine Leflaive inventory alone!
Review Source:At first glance, this place gives the illusion of snooty, but do not turn away because they are anything but... Nice tastings, casual conversations, they even allowed us to picnic (yes, schlep out our own lunches) on the patio over glasses of wine. At night this place is lit up with sparkling lights. It's so relaxing and laid back. Now that is the way life should be (sorry Maine!).
Review Source:The V wine cellars has anything and everything you could want wine related. Need a bottle of Screaming Eagle? They can make it happen. The V Wine Cellar is a great place to grab a bottle at the end of the day and sit back and people watch on the patio. This is your go to place for rare and hard to find wines.
Review Source:A wonderfully snooty wine shop inside a boutique mall, this place is everything you'd expect it to be.
As a non-wine snooter, V served only to kill time before my dinner reservations (and afforded an opportunity to make comic book jokes) and I must say, watching a bunch of affluent wine folk talk about floral notes, bouquets, and mouth-feels while they scampered about from big wooden rack to big wooden rack like over-excited IZOD-clad infants is an amusing diversion. Â
I'd imagine the prices are going to be better at that actual wineries themselves, but hey, it's a tourist area, a little fleecing in the name of commerce is part of the bargain isn't it?
V Wine Cellar has one of the best collection of wine I have ever seen. Â Scott Lewis and his knowledgeable staff with comfortable suroundings make picking a bottle of wine easy. Â They have outdoor seating where you can enjoy your purchase on nice days. Â The indoor couches with the big screen TV make you feel right at home. Â If your looking for sports while the significant other is shopping, this is the place to be.
Review Source:How cool is this wineshop! Â Not sure who is running V Wine Cellar but its obvious they're wine geeks with a pulse on what is hip and outside the box for your traditional wineshop.
I bought a $16 bottle of Austrian wine (no corkage!) and sat down in their lounge to watch World Cup Soccer on a flatscreen - in the middle of what had to be thousands of bottles of wine from all over the world - not just California.
I even was able to get a cheese and salumi plate to take the edge off while watching the game. Â They even have a deck and seperate patio outside if you prefer to drink your wine "al fresco"
As far as the wine selections, I have limited means - so I dont usually spend over $20 bucks on a bottle. Â I had no problem finding values - but if you like to spend the big bucks - these guys have cult wine and old vintages from Europe and beyond going back to the 60"s!
Hats off to the vision and good service at V Wine Cellar!
Review is for wine shop only: pretty good selection but sky-high prices. It is a nice space, and they do have some interesting wine-related gifts, but it this place is definitely set up to fleece tourists. If you live in the Bay Area, there are lots of places you can go to get a good selection and far better prices. I haven't done a tasting or dinner at V, so that might merit an additional star.
Review Source:I visited V Wine Cellar this past weekend. My husband and I were meeting up with his family for dinner at Bottega. We had some time before our reservation so we decided to venture into the building. As soon as we opened the door we were invited into V Wine Cellar for a wine tasting. It was fantastic, and free. We tasted about 7 rose wines and there was even complimentary cheese and crackers in the back in front of the tv. I would have tore that cheese up if I didn't have dinner plans! The vendors and wine makers were really nice and chatty about their wines, all of them were tasty, I would have bought any of the wines I tasted. And by the time we left we were all nice and buzzed just in time for dinner!! Thank you V wine Cellar!
Review Source:Wether you know everyting or nothing by far the coolest place in napa to learn about wine ,michael,carlos and scott make you feel at home while sipping great tarant from argentina to the coolest new unheard wines from napa valley (just had an amazing sauvignon blanc from kelly fleming ) and then actually meet the winemaker its a must,we met eight winemakers in two hours .....wow and got invited to ghost blocks vineyard by the owner ...this is truly ground zero in the napa valley .
they organize tours seerve cheeses meats and have rugby,football ,golf and even seasame street ,you can rent the place for receptions and dinners .........and on it goes open from 10-7 pm its the bomb !
they also have a legend of wines dinner from some of the most sought after wineries such as Dominus ,Opus One ,Far Niente ,Paradigm and next one i hear in December is with Legenderay Carmen Policy with his new winery Casa Piena ,im there
We noticed the little shops inside this market place and decided to go inside. This place was recommended to us for wine tasting by one of the information desks inside.
At first when we went in we felt ignored for about 10 minutes and decided to shop around in the rest of the building. On our way out, the information desk person asked if we enjoyed it and we explained about our long wait.
After she had given us an explanation of what happened and that they were short staffed after the person delivery wine made up some story about not being able to do the tastings, we decided to give them another chance.
The inside of the place looks like a dark wine cellar and very rustic. They had a variety of new and aged older wines, made locally. We got to try two a white and red, before the person working there needed to go help another customer. After having been made to wait around for another 10min we gave up on tasting anymore wine and just browsed around.
They do have a good selection of wines and a nice seating areas with couches and chairs along with a huge flat screen tv mantled above a fireplace with direct tv channels playing.
Overall, very cute and quaint, however, they do need to take care of that vendor problem so they don't bail again and cause more customers to have to wait so long.
We're not all that into wine so we probably won't be purchasing any there as we prefer sparking wines if any. But do check this place out if you enjoy fine wines as some are aged since the 1980's.
Always interested in the holy grail of just anything, airplanes, diving gear, vintage Porsche; I was able to locate a bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanee Conti - La Tache which can be viewed and if flavor is everything to you, can be purchased at V Wine Cellar in Yountville. Â V Wine Cellar carries many of my other favorites, whether upper end, rare, low barrel labels either local or international. Â These particular merchants also seem to carry the hard to find giant multi-liter bottles of either champagne or flight bottles as kits. Â They do have a wonderfully vast and unique selections, plus a changing daily taste fight which is certainly worth the time for some tastings. Â
As for the wine that I located.... it was certainly listed as one of the very best you can buy... the bottle was listed at $15,000 at the time I was there. Â Not too bad, because disputably its price point, its still less money than a Porsche. Â A must visit if you are in Yountville.
We had some down time to kill before our fab dinner at Ad Hoc. This place is right across the street from Bouchon and Bouchon Bakery so we stopped after buying some goodies.
We walked in and the first thing I noticed was WINE. DUH. They had so much wine everywhere - I didn't cruise the aisles to see selection but I'm sure they carry everything and more. The guy behind the counter greeted us and pointed us in the direction of the champagne fridges... he quickly tells my friend that they carry Krug and it was an instant sale!!! V Wine Cellar has outdoor seating so we took our champagne and enjoyed the nice weather. Â YUM!
What can you say about a Wine Shop that has the best selection of wines in the Napa Valley and the coolest resident Jack Russell terrier ever?
The Place is Great!
For a shop to be offering the most recognizable high-end wines from the Valley, and the up-and-coming wines from around the World to also offer a comfortable place to enjoy the product- is RARE! Â I recently visited and watched some football on the giant flatscreen. The shop was a little crowded, being a weekend day, but it was comfortable and relaxed. They have nice sofas and chairs where everyone can hang out and drink.
"Spud" the dog, was as friendly as the Shop owner, but even better looking.
The photography in the Cellar is worth checking out, too. All local photos of the harvest. Â ;-)
yountville. yountville. yountville.
oooo jane y was the ftr this place. hi jane!!
yeah so after a wonderful meal at ad hoc, a nice walk down the street and we found ourselves in a beautifully sunny grassy area with tulips blooming just inviting us to sit/lay down/ stick you arms in waterfall.....
whats this? a wine shop...
you knew things we going to be right. futbol was on. i grabbed a nice grrrreweisiteres, you know that one i just can never pronounce. im grabbing some plastic stemware, guy watching futbol asks if im drinking outside?
yep.
i got some stemware you can use.
how awesome.
sitting under a sunlit gazebo, snacking on some nice bouchon herb bread, sipping some nice chilled white wine..... you really cant ask more from life than that.
*cough* *cough*
IM BEING TAILED BY ASIANG GANG MEMBERS IN A VAN!
ummmm thats us XXXXX
(names have been removed to protect the innocent)
they serve food? i must go back.
Nothing like a chilled bottle of 2001 Riefle Steinert from the Vintage 1870 Wine Cellar using real stemware among friends under the pergola on a clear 75 degree afternoon with 5mph tradewinds breaking (rosemary) bread from the Bouchon Bakery to end a perfect day in Yountville.
Sadly, there was no cheese Gromit...
Came by here after a fantastic brunch at Ad Hoc. We were just roaming around looking for a place to sit and enjoy our treats from Bouchon Bakery and stumbled upon this place. Quick peak inside and 5 min later, we're out on the patio sipping a lovely 2001 Riefle Steinert picked out by EJ. We were about to purchase the plastic cups so we could sip, but if you stay on the patio, they will provide proper stemware for you. How awesome!
If you are in the area, follow my instructions from my Ranch Market Too review. I'm sure you'll love every minute!!
otherwise known as v wine cellar...this place is the perfect place to have an intimate dinner for 30-40 people ($500 room rental) w/ over 3000 domestic and intl wines. this second night's dinner was being hosted by one of hubby's work partners and since this is just a wine cellar, our food was catered by our very own villagio inn (next door) for a great feast! the house sommelier knew what the heck he was doing when he paired our 5 courses w/ the most delicious wine i've ever tasted. i am not a connoisseur by no means but i enjoyed EVERY glass that they poured. i've done 3 course wine pairings but never 5 and so our tables were filled w/ glasses everywhere! this is our menu/wine pairing break down:
GRILLED PANCETTA WRAPPED PRAWNS w/ fuji apples, cabbage, and cider glaze (2005 crauford sauvignon blanc, napa valley)
SEASONAL GATHERED GREENS w/ fresh grapes, blue cheese, and white balsami vinaigrette (2004 trefethen dry riesling, oak knoll district, napa valley)
BAY RUBBED FILET OF BEEF w/ yukon gold potato puree, seasonal vegetables and black peppercorn sauce (2002 thomas michael cabernet sauvignon, chiles valley, napa valley)
or
ROASTED STUFFED BREAST OF FREE RANGE CHICKEN w/ fingerling potatoes, roasted root vegetables and rosemary sauce (2005 adastra chardonnay, carneros, napa valley)
ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE POT DE CREAM (1999 trentadue chocolate amore merlot port)
OMG...CAN I JUST TELL YOU HOW GOOD THE TRENTADUE CHOCOLATE AMORE PORT WAS?!!!! for you chocolate lovers...a definite must try!
everything was soooo wonderful, the food the service and esp the finale....FINALLY, SOME GOOD DESSERT (see my pics)! this place carries lots of different wines, and even one of my fav's the chimney rock. i took home a bottle of the 2005 crauford sauvignon blanc and of course the chocolate port!
