Rain City Wines

"Lovely shop with a unique selection of imports at all price points. Will definitely be coming back!"

"A fantastic store and a hidden gem of a wine store. If you're tired of seeing the same old labels and wines at the grocery stores, this is the only place to find something unique, different, and new to try. Best of all, the prices are amazingly competitive and affordable. They carry very high-end exclusive wines to everyday table wines. Josh (the new owner) will help you pick out the perfect bottle to meet your budget and occasion. Save the hassle of driving all the way to Total Wine. You won't get the same expert and personal service as you'd get at Rainy City wines."

"Love this wine shop! Wines from all over the world and at every price point. At first I was intimidated coming in since I hadn't even heard of 40% of the options. I now know to ask the owner for recommendations and give him my budget so I can get suggestions on great options and try new things. Protip: subscribe to their email list & instagram to keep up with new stuff coming in and discounts!"

"I've been going here since it opened and don't buy wine anywhere else! The owner, Santo, is great. He knows more about wine than anyone I've ever met, but isn't a snob. That also means that he has great connections in the wine world and is able to get bottles you don't see many other places and offer unique tastings. If you go in asking for a recommendation, you will have your choice from $12 bottles all the way up to bottles that are $1K, just tell him your budget. He is also a proponent of grower champagne and estate wines, which is great."

"The owner, Santo Roman, is extremely personable and very knowledgeable without feeling he needs to intimidate those of us who just want a nice bottle of wine. He has a red and white Japanese Chin named Cosimo who often keeps him company in the shop. The store is devoted to European wines, and Santo can make recommendations according to your preferred price, flavor profile, region. I have had lovely ten dollar bottles from here, and wonderful bottles at several times that price. There are frequent wine tastings, and an email list that will let you know about their schedule. Many tastings are free, some free with a purchase, and a few have a small cost. Stop in for a look around. Don't let a lack of wine savvy stop you...just put yourself in the proprietor's kindly hands, and you will be on your way!"
