The Wine Bin 8390 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD 21043

"I am a YouTuber with a segment on my channel dedicated to all sorts of cocktails. I like to visit different wine stores to keep my viewers informed on different wines/cocktails I’ve tried and which wines recommend. After visiting this small shop I left not ever wanting to return after the service I received as a brown person. While attempting to partake in their wine tasting, myself and the other brown people in attendance were overlooked and often met with looks of disgust and annoyance. After tasting just two wines I put my glass down and left. I will say that not all of the employees were this disinterested in serving me, as there was one employee who was quite pleasant and helpful. If you live and/or visit Ellicott City please find a store that appreciates customers of all shades. I recommend The Wine Loft in Pikesville, Wells Liquor in Towson and Vineyards Elite. The service is immaculate especially their recommendations for wine. Each store also has a vast selection of Kosher wines."

"Highly recommend this wine shop: friendly and helpful staff, unique selection of wines, great spirits section. I visited here for the first time last weekend and it did not disappoint. I asked a staff member about a certain wine and he was able to point me in the right direction and then went and got Nick, who was able to provide additional wine recommendations based on my request. Cool wines that you don't find elsewhere with reasonable prices. Clean store. Will definitely be back!"

"Nick help me out today. The recommendations were wonderful! Best wine I’ve had in a long time. Great service overall and wonderful staff."

"Stopped in during Mardi Gras weekend. Great band in the parking lot, good food, beer and wine. 5/20/22 It's Yappy Hour, we're here with Marley our mini poodle and maybe 30 other dogs. Beer and wine available for a donation to the local pet charity. Oella River Band was excellent, all dogs friendly and the beer and wine was great. First and third Fridays it's a great event. 5/5/23 second Yappy Hour of the year - we missed the first one - such a happy time. Dogs and people enjoying a great evening. Canine Humane Network was the beneficiary of tonight's fund raiser. The Oella River Band always provides great music. Thanks to the wine Bin for providing the space and refreshments."

"Great selection of wine, beer and some light food. Staff is a little cold. But if you know what you need - you can get in and out without dealing with them"
