We found Basil and his family completely by accident while visiting from Tucson. We were looking for a wine-specific liquor store, but google said there were none. While leaving the parking lot from a different store, we saw Down Time while we were on our way out. (Retro's subs and brews is a solid sandwich shop with tons of meat on your sammy, btw) and decided to pop in. We were immediately charmed by the very clearly locally owned store-front, making the best use of the space that they can. We did an impromptu tasting of 6 wines, though they have a huge selection of over 40. Reds, whites, sweet dessert, dry and oaky, and they have been doing wine for 20+ years. Basil was an absolute treat of a man, and we walked away with a case+3. You won't regret a sweet date night here at Basil's Down Time Wines.

What a lovely down home experience. The sweet sisters Collen and Connie took good care of our book club outing.

If you are looking for an expensive, bougie wine bar with overpriced charcuterie, this is not the place for you. A basic room, with highly quaffable wines is what you will find here. The flight is a great value and an even better experience to try these unique wines. Try the inexpensive and tasty snacks too. Basil and Coleen are wonderful hosts. Fun and worth it!l

We went in for a tasting and had some delicious and unique wines!! I love sweet wines, and there are no shortage of those here. My husband (not a wine guy) really enjoyed the taste of coffee wine (and he LOVED the Italian sandwich on the croissant). Colleen and Basil (the owners) were attentive and helpful and friendly. If we were not flying home tomorrow, we would have purchased a bottle or two!

My fiance and I were looking for a sweet wine to serve at our wedding, and were initially attracted to Down Time Wines due to their huge variety of unique and sweet flavors! We went in for a tasting and I can say we were astounded by the hospitality and warmth shown to us by the owners. We tried so many delicious flavors that it was difficult to narrow down. We especially loved the Summer Crush, Peach, and Pomberry flavors, but eventually decided our favorite was the magnificent Black Forest dessert wine -- literally tastes like dark chocolate covered cherries! We are so excited for our friends and family to try it! Down Time Wines has such good specials and prices and they even have an option to create your own custom label -- we will be keeping our labelled bottle forever as a sweet wedding keepsake. We can't wait to come back and experience the comedy nights, paint and sip nights, and even just to visit the owners who treat everyone like family. Thank you so much for such an unexpected and special experience! - Em and Ryan
