CellarMasters Wine Bar and Bottle Shop 1005 1st Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33705

"Love this little gem. I don’t know jack about wine but good thing that they do! And they do it without any pretentiousness. Every recommendation is spot on and so delicious. The space is very cute and romantic for an outing inside or outside. You can also browse around their amazing wine shop too."

"For those who know you need sophistication and grit to make the perfect food + wine pairing CellerMasters Review Kory (co-owner) always validates, refines, deepens and indulges my eclectic sensibilities for food + wine without didacticism. Though I am very much an amateur home chef with a ton of prerequisites (how I ended up at a minimally processed mostly biodynamic organic wine shop in the first place), Kory takes me seriously and appreciates the magic in the details that I bring to the table. Every visit to his shop is a short master class in achieving the perfect pairing. I bring him textures (e.g. silkly), moods (e.g. elated), and descriptions of the food, spices, cooking methods. Kory brings me options that somehow embody both the practical & creative sides of making a meal, the expression of community & individualism that come out in a meal, and the simplicity of tasting delicious together when enjoying a meal. One can only achieve the grace that CellerMasters embodies after practicing, grinding, intelligently failing, reflecting, laughing, dedicating one’s self to a craft, making hard choices and sacrifices. A recommendation I can trust. Wine knowledge aside, the most pronounced signal for me of their mastery of wine is the continually playing rap music in the shop. This shows me that the founders of CellerMasters are such aficionados of their craft, that they can fully express themselves without permission or pretense. A state of being we all want to achieve in our own way. My easy, meaningful, joyful conversations about pairings amongst rap music has served as inspiration to keep going on my own food + wine journey."

"This place is the best. The shop is always exciting with new and exciting stuff all the time. The indoor bar is an oasis for me - dark, cool, good wine, the music is always great. I wish it were my house."

"This is a really awesome but very unique wine and bottle shop. You can buy wine to go or stick around and buy it by the glass or bottle. The guys that run the place are very unique and extremely knowledgeable. Don't think twice about asking for their opinions on what to get. They've got pretty good prices and there's an amazing spot out back. Make sure you draw on the tables."

"Very nicely done! As soon as you enter you are actually in the area where all kind of wine is displayed! Definitely not your typical supermarket wine! The staff are very knowledgeable ans it is best to ask them and let them know what you are looking for. The second room is so cute and relaxing actually! The decor and atmosphere are just very inviting! They have a menu or you can just purchase a bottle and they can help you get that! I will definitely come back again whenever I am in the area."
