Such a cute store! Didn’t end up purchasing any wines, but loved that they had little notes for each one. They have cute souvenirs and tins on sale so that was great!

My experience at Vinovore was terrific! I was in the area and walked in on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised with a wide variety of reasonably priced wines, adorable gifts, and even some matchbooks (which I happen to collect)! I was looking for a dry, crisp white wine that’s almost…crunchy, if that makes sense! The associate knew exactly what I meant and suggested several options. She also explained the difference between minerality and fruitiness, which was super helpful. I selected one of her recommendations, a bottle of “Drop By Drop,” and it was absolutely PERFECT! In the store, all the wines have a combination of practical and whimsical descriptions. There will be tasting notes paired with the most poetic and adorable descriptions (“tastes like soaking up the sun in a lush green garden,” that sort of thing). Which as someone who loves poetry, I found the description of the wine I chose to be very fun and accurate! I’ll definitely be swinging by Vinovore again and I absolutely recommend a visit if you’re in the area. Even if you’re not close by, I recommend adding it to your list!

I ordered a few bottles as a gift and they hand wrote the note from me! I was shocked! It was such a wonderful touch and made the experience even better! Their selection is great and the tasting notes make it really easy to select to ones preference.
