Recently, Carl and I got a rather fabulous wedding gift- a dual zone wine refrigerator. It was something we were excited to register for but neither of us actually thought we would receive the wine fridge. Much to our excitement, we did! This called for a major "stocking up". However, we wanted to make sure the wine we put into the fridge wasn't just any ol' crap, we wanted a semi-decent collection. We decided we needed the help of a professional, so we went to Seventh Street Wine Company. Carl had been in once before, and we had both driven past it several times and wanted to spend some time in there. Now, to be honest, Carl and I love a nice glass of wine with dinner or a few glasses on a weekend evening, but our true knowledge of wine is very rudimentary. It's something we want to learn more about, and we intend to do several winery tours in the future as well as taking some wine tasting courses so that we can learn more about our new favorite hobby.
When we walked into Seventh Street Wine Company, we were greeted with a pleasant smile from the staff as we began to look around. They have a superb collection of wines sorted by region. After a few minutes of strolling around, we decided we needed some help. The staff eagerly pointed us toward the owner, Chris who could not have been more nice or more helpful. He hails from the Isle of Mann, and speaks with the most pleasant accent which somehow seems to make selecting wine even more fun! They have a discount policy of 5% off each bottle when you purchase 6 bottles or more, and 10% off each bottle when you purchase 12 bottles or more. Chris helped us pick out 4 reasonably priced bottles of red, and 2 reasonably priced bottles of white. He gave us the background on each bottle, telling us what we could expect to taste upon sipping each wine and he assured us that the price we were spending was indeed a great value for each wine. The icing on the cake was when he told the man at the register to go ahead and give us the 10% discount even though were only purchasing 6 bottles of wine.
In addition to their wonderful selection of bottles for purchase, they have several machines that distribute glasses of wine by a prepaid purchase card. They have a kitchen that serves small bites such as cheese and meat plates and they even have a few televisions throughout the small space so winos can sip their favorite glass of wine while watching whatever big game may be on television!
So far, we've only enjoyed 1 of the bottle we purchased, an $11 red bottle of Spanish Tempranillo called "Dante" and it was very delicious. We will most definitely be returning to our neighborhood wine spot to purchase more wine and visit our friends at Seventh Street Wine Company in the near future.
