Michelle Bouffard and Michaela Morris are the ladies to talk to should you need a wine oriented event planned or have a cellar to fill. They lead tastings all over town in great venues such as the Salt Tasting Room's Salt Cellar and The Vintage…More »
Sandhill's small lots program is the future of the BC wine industry. They have produced some spectacular wines by handling the grapes they produce as individual lots this is much harder than batching everything together but they use the method to…More »

This is the hidden gem of the Olympic Village, I'm sure they hope the condos all sell real soon, but until that happens drop in and go through the wonderful selection of Wine and Beer. They are running a long list of tastings and other events. Check…More »

This should be called a wine shop as they have a small but good wine selection and some beer and a bit of liquor. They have a great layout for refrigerated white wine, it's sort of by area and/or price point so you may see something from South Africa…More »
You think you know sake, If you haven`t spent several evenings at the sake bar in Tojo`s the warm stuff you drink with gusto is just that warm stuff. So go down to GI and try some real sake, it is normally drunk cold or ice cold, it has all the…More »

I have been putting off a review of Kitsilano Wine Cellar because it's a real love/hate relationship I have with them. If I want something specific they often don't have it or anything like it and I'm not talking an obscure Loire chenin here. If I…More »
I very seldom go over here but as a sister to Kitsilano Wine Cellar they have much the same stock only tailored for the West Vancouver market, there are no critter wines here, which is a good thing. I was on my way to a BBQ in Loin's Bay and stopped…More »

The best government wine store in town, oh they have liquor also.
Don't go in to get one bottle, you may leave with a half case ;)
Great parking, but that's our government dollars at work.
The beauty of wines in the $50+ range is the BS fees are…More »

Pretty small space, ok selection.
OK staff, I was treated to a spiel about a Rhone the guy knew nothing about, if you don't know, and don't know me, be careful what you say, you can look really foolish.
Has a good selection of wine of the Alsace.

The beer selection is good and getting better lots of BC micro breweries. The wine selection has not improved since it opened about 1 year ago, I have been holding off this review to see if things got better, they haven't. So if you're after beer…More »

Very Knowledgeable staff
Very eclectic selection of Euro heavy on French wine

The choice of wines is very good and pricing is fair, I drop over when parked at City Square. I find parking around there difficult it is defiantly for locals. Their wine selection has matured since they opened, less bottles per wine more selection,…More »
It is the only reason I go to North Vancouver. With a large portion of their stock specific to their stores I find producers and wines I never see in the other shops. They also have volume, when I go to other wine stores I hate the urge to buy it or…More »

The secret is they get part of the major wine releases every year and you don't need an arm band to get in. Just walk in and pick up that magnum of Château Mouton Rothschild 2008 you were looking for, your card may scream no no don't do it but the…More »
