Absolutely great place to stop in and have a beer or a glass of wine. I personally loved the fact that they had North Coast Brewery Ale. My wife loved and bought a bottle of their Chardonnay made by a local winery. The owner was very nice and helpful showing us the wines. Also available are cookbooks and wine accessories. When you are in Placerville, this place is a must. Evening music by local musicians.
Review Source:The Wine Smith is such a quaint little place to hang out in. They guided me towards the wines I preferred and poured me a glass. There are plenty of tables and seating. Â healthy mix of friendly locals and tourists.
They also have beer and I was impressed that they carried Alagash. I ended up purchasing a bottle of Beemer's Zinfandel and I was very happy with it.
Props to them for their fantastic: $20 for $10 deal.
The Wine Smith is the Cheers of Placerville! Â They not only have the great selection of wine and beer one would expect but also have an atmosphere which makes everyone feel at home. Â You may not know anyone when you walk in but by the time you leave you will have many new friends.
Great local musicians (as well as talent from elsewhere) gather Thursday evenings for open mic night! Â You never know who might be playing and yet it is guaranteed to be a fun evening. Â
My husband and I enjoy stopping in for a wine and  beer (I prefer the wine and he prefers the beer) a few times a month to enjoy the music and visit with friends.
So much fun. Â I just performed there and didn't know what to expect. Â I was very surprised with how nice everyone was as well as the great selection of fine adult beverages. Â I'm not much of a wine drinker, but the beer selection was great and tasty. Â My band mates and I were treated like royalty and the place had a great welcoming vibe to it. Â I will be back there again.
Review Source:Great Wine and good selection of beers, if you're with those microbrew beer lovers. Â Four such a small place, I was surprised at the talent they had there. Â We stayed for hours listening to the musicians. Â When talking to other patrons, they said that the music never disappointed. Â I'd spend another Friday night there!
Review Source:What a charming little gem in the rough!
We stopped through the town of Placerville to let the traffic towards Sacramento coming from Tahoe die down for a while, and we were a little surprised to see a wine bar with such spirit and value. The wines available are a gooding sampling of the wines from the area around Placerville, and they've got quite a tasty selection of Belgian ales.
We had never considered Placerville before, but now that we know about this little wine bar, we may seek out a place to stay in the area and get to know the area better... with some refueling and rest in between at The Wine Smith of course.
The Wine Smith is my neighbor! Â Practically...I live in the neighborhood behind it. Â The wines are awesome..the atmosphere is great, but the people that it draws and the people that work there are even BETTER! Â Live music too....it's pretty full most of the time, so get a table early!
Regards,

We had more than enough fuel to get home...
Needing to stretch our legs wasn't really a concern...
And with a hearty breakfast we didn't stop for food...
No...
We stopped because no weekend getaway/roadtrip is complete (in my mind) without an indulgent splash of wine. Â
Or three. Â
And more beer.
Under HIGH recommendation from an avid wine enthusiast we'd met at the bar at Sierra-At-Tahoe, we made a point of finding this wine shoppe. Â This cozy boutique merchant is an amazing find/fixture along Main Street of the little town of Placerville! Â Shelly (the proprietor) and her charming shoppe have a personality and character that could only be fostered away from [snootier] big cities...
In addition to the extensive offerings of wine and requisite connoisseur's various hardware and knick-knacks, the shoppe also caters to the beer drinker's palate by offering a refrigerator of upscale and craft beers, as well as a varied selection of beers on tap!
Delerium Tremens
Brother Thelonius Abbey
Chimay Peres Trappiste
Dupont Moinette
Duvel Moortgat
to name but a few...
A group of dining tables and chairs in the center of the room is a clear and welcome invitation to spend more than a passing moment here and enjoy a flight or taste of wine or beer. Â The small bar/counter at the back of the room conveys a less formal option and casual reprieve from the usual ceremony of "wine tasting" (which I find sometimes a little sententious).
The best part of the Wine Smith experience is definitely the owner, Shelly. Â Her enthusiasm and insight led us to tastes and samplings of some delicious vintages, not to mention fun and witty conversations on everything from photography to politics and business...
Good drink, good talk, good company. Â
Simple pleasures! Â We'll be back!
There are supposedly a number of [wine] tasting rooms in the area... I think we need to make a weekend of it. Â
Starting at The Wine Smith.
