Northern Virginia magazine reviewed The Wine House's amazing selection of wines from across the globe and named it Best New Sampling Sanctuary of 2009. Yelpers give it an average of 3.5 stars.
- The wine stacks are overflowing with worldly gems (Spanish albariños, Italian brachetto d’acqui), while the coolers regularly house serious brews (Weihenstephaner hefeweizen, Lagunitas Censored ale). – Warren Rojas, Northern Virginia magazine We had a GREAT experience here on a Saturday night. Our server was pretty good, the atmosphere was cozy and warm, the wine selection was great, and the food was AMAZING. – Cynthia S., Yelp
