Piazza Discepoli

Small wine store but excellent selection with a wide variety of price points to suit one’s budget. I went in for the first time recently and the owner and his wife were extremely helpful and friendly. Their recommendations were spot on, we loved everything we bought!

Piazza Discepoli has been offering «fine wine and food» for 19 years, ever since Guy Discepoli and Marty Piazza opened Piazza Discepoli Wine Merchants in College Hill in 1989. Nearly two decades later, Piazza Discepoli has four locations including the eight-​year old Madeira store, run by Piazza himself (Discepoli still runs the College Hill store). I was in the Madeira location yesterday and saw what a great store it is. Sure there are other wine places in the Greater Cincinnati area, but Piazza Discepoli offers great products while providing really great and friendly service.
While Piazza Discepoli specializes in fine wine AND food, it’s apparent when you walk in that they have their greatest focus on wine. There are all kinds of great wines filling all ends of the store, while there are the necessary accessories to accompany the wine such as cork pullers. You can make a real evening out of their store as they have candles too and plenty of great complimentary cheeses and fancy crackers and biscuits. They had samples when I was in the store of both cheese and fig bread and they were both very good. There is also a refrigerated section with gelato and Good Wives brand foods, while on the opposite end of the store there a ton of cute and colorful napkins to go with your wine and food.
Overall it is a really nice store and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The Madeira location is really great, while if you live in or near College Hill, Glendale, or White Oak you can also stop on in and see what the hype is about.
