While visiting we stumbled into this store to pick up some wine and we were delighted by the atmosphere and owners. Definitely the best option we found during our stay.

Good selection, way overpriced
Response from the owner · 11 months ago
Sir we would like to apologize for your bad experience; our markups are usually fair and the same across the board, some people tend to compare our prices to those on the internet or look at our store as expensive because of how it looks. However, we are only a two person operation for the most part and we survive by not having to pay a lot of people to help us. Our markups are actually pretty low, but sometimes our competitors buy things on sale; therefore they can sell items for cheaper, but we hope you will reconsider your review and sincerely hope to see you again to make it up to you. Thanks John Houston’s

Beautiful shop with both common favorites and high end offerings of wine and liquor. The owner is helpful and informative both about his products and the old city. Visit for the bottles. Stay for the conversation.

Poor selection of liquor. They had at least two of the brands I wanted, but only in small sizes. I didn't see any shopping carts. Evidently they don't expect people to buy much.

Sorry to hear about your experience! If you are ever back in our store and buying large quantities, we are happy to hold as much as you need behind the counter and box it up for you while you continue to shop. And we will even help you carry it to your car! Also, we are always happy to take customer recommendations or requests for new products to bring into our store. So, if there’s something you don’t see on our shelves, we are happy to order it for you!
