Amazing little wine shop!!!!! The owner is amazingly knowledgeable and friendly. We had an amazing time doing a tasting with him through Somm and picked up a delicious wine for home. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area!

Fantastic local wine shop. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, generous, and enthusiastic for lesser-known local Niagara wines. These are typically small batch and not available elsewhere (other than the vineyard proper), really competitively priced, carefully selected to highlight the incredible quality of Niagara wines! The shop also holds regular wine tasting nights, which allow customers to discover some new wine makers. Moreover, really impressed at the online option - we had our wine delivered to our doorstep. Overall, you can't find a better bottle shop in Niagara!

The wine selection here is truly outstanding, with a wide range of varietals from all over the world. Whether you're a fan of bold reds, crisp whites, or something in between, you'll find something to love here. And if you're not quite sure what you're looking for, the knowledgeable and friendly staff are more than happy to help you find the perfect bottle to suit your tastes.

I'd give this store 10 stars if I could! Awesome service, fabulous selection of wines to take home or try in store, at reasonable prices. Fantastic atmosphere too. Great wines that you can't get at the LCBO from local Niagara wineries and beyond. Robbie, the owner, is super knowledgeable and a great host. Tasting nights with local winemakers are truly excellent. Ordering wine by the bottle with just a $5 corkage fee is the best kept secret in Niagara! I'm planning on holding a private event there in the future too. In the meantime, I'm ordering online when I can't get into the store. Support our local St. Catharines merchants!

From the moment I walked in, Uncle Bobby treated me like family. His precise and inquisitive nature helped narrow down exactly what wine would be suitable for the evening with my lovely wife, Loraine. The shop has a diverse range of beverages, but Uncle Bobby’s ability to steer me in the right direction made me reminisce about my time sailing through Montego Bay on the Antelope. The seas were rough but the 6 year venture was worth it. I also appreciated the alfresco decor which is a nice change from the harsher colours and hues I’m used to from local wine bars in the area. 5 stars and keep up the good work.
