My wife and I stumbled on this new wine store the other night and went in for a look. We were immediately greeted by the owner, Marina. She had a really cool way of organizing the wines in wooden crates from lightest to darkest. She also doesn't have the standard collection of wines. You are going to find wines here you won't find anywhere else. I really appreciated that Marina had a passion for finding unique wines for her store. My wife and I told her what sort of Chardonnay and Riesling we typically like and she picked out a couple and thoroughly explained them to us. From there she made a recommendation and we are really excited to try them this weekend.
Soo happy that this place opened up nearby!! The Grape Juicery is a curated, neighborhood wine boutique that features occasional tastings, and bottles from smaller vineyards. You will not find a Mondavi or Kendall Jackson here. You will find unique old world bottles, food pairing hints, and a SUPER sweet and passionate owner, who remembers her neighbors that drop by.
When I first moved to Yorkville, I was so excited to try 4.5 yelp star Vinoversity, but my palate never synced up with theirs. They would push Sauv Blanc (ick!!), when I wanted French Chardonnays. Truly apples and oranges. And as much as I love Yorkshire Wine and Spirits, the guys there have never heard of Verdicchio. Vinyl Wine is fabulous, but a little too far up for convenience. Which brings it back to Grape Juicery. This is a knockout gem to have in Yorkville.
