Buying wine should be as enjoyable as drinking it. In a store devoted exclusively to wine and wine accessories, customers are more likely to discover lesser known boutique wines. These small artisan vineyards rely upon a savvy wine storeowner to carry their label and curious wine lovers to seek them out.
Every wine has a story. At Vino 100 we can tell you the story behind the wine, while helping guide you through the decision-making process. Don’t assume you’ll pay more in a wine store than in a supermarket. That’s simply not the case. Our store carries over 100 labels priced at $25 or less. Overall, finding something you like has less to do with price and everything to do with what suits your palate. Understanding your palate is essential for determining the wines you’ll like. For example, you may enjoy buttery Chardonnay. If you open an oak Chardonnay instead of a buttery one, it may not suit your palate regardless of whether you spent $3 or $50 on that bottle. The price doesn’t change the wine.
At Vino 100 we feature our signature, trademarked barometer that gives you a flavor and body index to gauge where a wine falls on the fruity versus dry scale and the degree to which the wine is light or full-bodied.
To understand your palate, learn by doing. Explore the differences through tastings to help train and develop your senses. There’s no right or wrong wine – only what’s right for you.
Keep in mind that not all wine stores are created equal. Make sure you feel comfortable asking questions and the staff is willing to help and assist. Vino 100 offers exceptional customer service in a warm, friendly and inviting environment that will keep you coming back. We encourage you to visit our store, where you’ll be pleased with our wide selection and affordable prices.
