About The Wine House
Bill Knight—a Wine Spectator market-watch leader—has steadily cultivated The Wine House's selection of wine over the last 30 years. The store's whip-smart sommeliers curate more than 7,000 domestic and imported labels, 32 of which can be sipped in the automated wine-tasting area.
The Wine House's 18,000-square-foot facility stocks cheeses, chocolates, premade meals, and high-tech wine accessories to go along with its wines, spirits, and beers. A series of classes taught by Dionysus himself lets the wine curious learn about tasting and pairing libations.
