A Message From Our Founder

Our Motivation

You wouldn't buy a new outfit without first trying it on would you?  At Wine'tastic!, we believe that wine shouldn't be any different. 

How We Started 
Wine'tastic! began with a simple premise:  you, the customer, should be able to taste a wine before you decide to spend your hard earned money on a bottle or two.  From this simple understanding, Wine'tastic! was born. 

A Focus on Value 
We then expanded upon our core premise to include a relentless focus on value.  Offering high-quality wines is relatively easy to do... offering only those wines which provide quality at reasonable prices is far more difficult.  At Wine'tastic!, we will only offer wines which represent exceptional values, whether they be $10 per bottle everyday wines or $100 per bottle special occasion wines.  Our wine experts continually search through the thousands of newly released wines to present you with only the best wine values. 

Let Your Taste Buds Be The Judge
By all means, don't take our word for it.  With our unique "taste before you buy" model, you can try those higher dollar wines against a less costly one and determine for yourself whether the bottle is worth the extra money.  After all, what really counts is whether you personally like the wine.  We make it a point to drink what we like, and we think that you should have this same opportunity.  At Wine'tastic!, your taste buds give the final verdict on a wine.

Don't Forget Stellar Customer Service 
Looking for that perfect wine to go with dinner tonight?  An impressive selection for an upcoming party?  What about a good everyday drinking value?  Our staff is dedicated to helping you find the perfect bottles of wine to meet your needs.   Not a wine expert?  No problem!  We pride ourselves on making every visit to Wine'tastic! an educational experience.  Whether you are a wine novice or expert, our staff will do everything they can to make sure that you learn something new each and every time you visit us.

Just Want to Relax with Friends?
So much of the wine experience is tied to sharing a glass or bottle with family and friends.  We created a Tuscan-style lounge area where you can relax with those people who are special to you.  Our lounge combines this relaxed feel with modern accoutrements such as high definition TV and six foot tall seating booths.  We have also added an outdoor patio with fans and space heaters to ensure year-round outdoor enjoyment.

A Few Additional Points
Aside from our extensive by-the-glass and full bottle wine lists, you can enjoy our pre-selected tasting flights or create your own, personalized tasting flights.  Also, unlike most restaurants, you can buy full bottles at our regular, low retail prices, regardless of whether you drink the bottle at Wine'tastic! or take it home to enjoy later.  Don't forget that we offer an extensive selection of wine-friendly foods - including cheeses, fruits, breads, desserts, and more - which are guaranteed to pair perfectly with your wine selection. 

A Message From Our Founder

"Wine'tastic! grew out of my own passion for wine and my experiences in exploring and learning about the world of wine.  I can't tell you how many times I bought a "good" bottle of wine, only to try it later at home and realize that the wine wasn't worth nearly what I had paid for it.  With so much potential variation in wine depending on the grape type, location, weather, winemaker, and even transport methods, how can a wine drinker ever be assured the the wine they were buying would live up to their expectations?

Wine'tastic! represents my belief that navigating the labyrinth of the wine world should not be littered with snobbery or cluttered by complexity.  Wine is a drink meant to be enjoyed by everyone, and how better to enjoy something than to actually experience it?

Thus, I decided to create a new type of wine retailer - one in which people could be absolutely assured that they would like the wine.  I accomplish this goal through two key methods... First, we rigorously screen thousands of wines before identifying the 200 or so best wine values.  Nearly all of our wines are backed up with ratings from top wine experts, including Wine Spectator and Robert Parker.  Second, and most important, we let you have the final say in determining a wine's value.  An expert's opinion can be valuable, but you are the one who should ultimately be satisfied with your wine purchase.  Thus, I created an environment in which your taste buds get to have the final say.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy my vision of what a wine store can and should be!  I can't guarantee that you will like every wine you try at Wine'tastic!, but I can guarantee that you never have any doubts about the quality of what's in the bottle."

Sincerely,

Jamin Eberhart
Owner and Founder of Wine'tastic!
