What People Are Saying About Blackwell's Wines & Spirits

In Short – The beer list at this husband-and-wife-owned neighborhood shop features 140 labels, from small-batch microbrews to rare Belgians, while the wine-and-spirit collection boasts varietals from all over the world. The latter focuses on small producers from southern France and many from the Northwest and Central Coast. International spirits line the western wall, including hard-to-find vodkas and more than 100 whiskeys.

Great little wine store with the friendliest
by drpaulah at Citysearch
Great little wine store with the friendliest, knowledgeable owners. Wonderful wine selection from all over the world, including fine Scotch and a very good selection of local beers too, for the husband. BevMo has no competition compared to Blackwell's, a good thing to keep in mind.

My new favorite wine store, hands down
by enjoysredwine at Citysearch
This relatively new wine and spirits store blew me away the first time I visited. A good friend of mine recommended them to me, and I am hard-pressed to shop for wine elsewhere. Blackwell's is accomodating, informed, and specialized for the serious connossieur and the casual enthusiast (nevermind a wonderful selection of hand-picked, unique spirits). Don't expect to see Yellow Tail or any boxed wine inside, but if you are looking for quality wine at inexpensive prices you will be pleased. While primarily a neighborhood store, Blackwell's has a fantastic collection that seems to draw people from all over the bay (my friend who recommended them to me lives in Oakland). If you have not been in, you are missing out on THE diamond in the rough. I expect big things from Gary and Dita (owners), and their wonderful staff, for the future. Blackwell's is what a wine store is supposed to be.
