Sip Happens

"Wonderfull eclectic selection and helpful staff make this place a delight. The recent redecorating makes it an even better hang out than it was before."

"I personally would not patronize this business if you are a minority or a person of color. I came into the business and was ignored by both (white) employees and passed over for their other Caucasian counterparts. No one asked me if I needed anything, offered to help, or tell me the services they offered. I am a TikTok food influencer and I was waiting to have a meal at the Oyster bar and came to buy a bottle of wine. Now I will be posting an additional video on my page, regarding how rude the employees were and how I was reminded that my skin color determines the level of service I receive."

"Our experience here has been great! They have an amazing selection! Laurie has a stellar knowledge of wine and they are the kindest people. Always fun times here! Great hours too!"

"I transformed a modest space in my home into a wine cellar. The design and construction of the cellar for me was a simple matter, but the counter-aspect of stocking a cellar is a head scratcher unless you’re a sommelier. My new cellar capacity is just under 120 bottles, and I never had more than thirty bottles in my home previously. Therefore, sourcing ninety more bottles couldn’t be resolved by skimming the internet for five-star reviews. I have my favorite wines, but could that be my guidepost for all 120 bottles? Is varietal balance a consideration? I perceived a well-rounded cellar requires sourcing new explorative wines to broaden palate diversity. Enter Laurie Collins at Sip Happens.

"What a great addition to the neighborhood. Owners Laurie and Greg greeted us like friends on our first visit, and we've been having a hard time staying away ever since! They are so generous with their knowledge, and we've found some new favorite wines thanks to their guidance. The daily tasting selection and twice-weekly wine tastings have been a lot of fun, and very helpful. We've found a couple of "everyday" whites we like better than the ones we used to get for the same price at the big box store and also some special occasion reds we never would have found on our own. Definitely worth a visit!"
