The Wine Specialist is a full-service retail shop selling domestic and imported wines, spirits and beers, located in the vibrant West End neighborhood of Washington, DC, where Downtown and Georgetown meet. This is accomplished by carefully scrutinizing the producers and tasting their products, and bringing in only those that we consider to be good value.
Service is our specialty.
Neighbor or visitor, little lady or law firm, all are valued customers, and the staff at The Wine Specialist will gladly take the time to guide them to the best choice, whether their tastes be classical or unconventional. At The Wine Specialist, the knowledgeable and friendly staff makes all this easy, because they believe that shopping should always be a pleasure, never an ordeal, and that the enjoyment of fine wines, spirits and beers should be available to all, at every range of style and price. Either here on the Web or in person at the shop. There's always a variety of new bottles and a large selection of items on sale. Tastings on location are regular events on Fridays and Saturdays, free of charge and pleasantly informal.
