On 1/13/2026 Melissa Jordan had this to say:
New to the area and was looking for an Iowa local wine that I love. They carry the brand but not that one. The owner came over and offered to help me look for what I wanted and asked about the wine I love and if its good and I told him across Iowa where I moved from its a top seller and always out of stock. He told me he would get it ordered and start to stock it for me. I appreciate this so much! Great customer service even for not having it. :) We will return.

Went here to grab a few wine bottle for family I had in town, the owner was kind, took a few suggestions on a wine I suggested he get in. Hopefully he does... nevertheless the shop was clean, great customer service.
