Wines Off Wynkoop

Thank you to Jonathan for helping me pick out 2 bottles of wine from 1000 miles away for part of a gift basket I was sending from Illinois. They worked great with A la Carte Gifts and Baskets and I couldn’t be happier with both companies. Can’t wait to come to Denver and visit this place in person!

Cute little wine shop but small selection. Some of the staff is friendly and helpful, other’s are a little stand offish. I came in on a day when they had wine tasting and would have appreciated the opportunity to sample, however, was never offered. Didn’t want to be rude and just pour myself some! ;)

An absolute gem. Fabulous one off menu items coupled with a great beer menu and home made desserts.

I’ve been a frequent customer here for years. They have some incredible specialty wines and can source anything you might need! I live and work downtown so almost always walk or take the mall ride. If you’re in the neighborhood it’s very convenient. It’s tucked down a side alley so can be hard to find, but really fun and truly a local business. I had a crazy thing happen recently when I parked behind the store. The owner of Wines Off Wynkoop went above and beyond to make things right. I was impressed with his quick action and outstanding customer service. It is a pleasure to buy local and support businesses like this. I highly recommend a visit to this store!

My mom was in town for Thanksgiving and I wanted to get a bottle of Far Niente so we could have a girly night. I had heard good things about this place so I was very excited for us to check it out together. There was a blonde woman at the front when we walked in. She said nothing. I asked her, «how are you today?» and she replied, «fine». Didn’t ask us how we were, didn’t ask us if we needed help. I don’t know if this woman was the owner or not, but I would suggest that it’s in the best interest of a business for the employees be nice and courteous to everyone who walks through the doors. Needless to say, we walked back out without purchasing anything.

Nice little wine shop. Friendly service, very helpful in helping me to choose a wine to my liking. They have a small selection of Colorado wines, which is better than other places that dont carry any local wines at all. It’s sits just off 16^th street, so if you’re not paying attention, you might miss it. It’s worth discovering!

So you have to walk down a dark, scary, dangerous alley to get here… so what? Ok, so I made most of that last part up to make me sound more… ruggid? All kidding aside, you do actually have to walk down an alley to get to this store which makes it even cooler!
I stumbled upon this shop years ago when I first started working downtown, but it wasn’t until very recently did I finally make my way down «The Alley». They offer daily wine tasting of their «wine of the day» and they really take the time to explain the wine and what it would pair well with. I dig that.
Their prices range from moderate to «holy hell!», but that is to be expected at any great wine store. I left with two bottles of wine – one reisling and one merlot that went perfectly with the dishes that the employee suggested they be matched with.
When I am back in LoDo, I will definitely swing by this place… if only to battle through «The Alley». ;)

Great little wine store with a decent liquor selection & very friendly service.

Great selection and fabulous service!

Tucked in the alley behind the Tattered Cover Bookstore, lies this tiny wine shop. I felt as though I was going on an adventure in seeking this place out, as it’s off the beaten path and pretty easy to miss! However, once I got inside I noticed the following things:
1. They are pet friendly… meaning you can bring your pup, cat or any animal just you just happen to be walking, into the store!
2. The staff appears to be connoisseurs & enthusiasts alike. They are quite knowledgeable about the various wines they carry and offer a decent selection of beer.
3. The store itself is VERY small, however, seems to hold just the right amount of booze :)
Only downside?
The refrigerators only have a few white wines stocked, because some beer and sodas take up most of the space. That kind of irked me, as when I stop to get a bottle of white wine for the company, i’d like it to be cold!
Overall, a cute & charming wine shop in the heart of LoDo.

Great selection of wines. Good enough selection of Domestic and Import/​Micro beers for a casual weeknight or a quick pickup. Some spirits but I wouldn’t call this place a liquor store. If you go there looking for anything besides wine it can get pricey quickly. If you can’t find it, it’s because it’s tucked in a little alley, hence Wines OFF Wynkoop. My big seller on this place is convenience. The staff are always quick to help with any questions.

Beer/​Wine/​Liquor available, and just the right amounts of each.
Don’t stop here if you want a 30-​rack of Keystone Light, a box of Franzia, or a handle of Seagram’s vodka. This place is for the enthusiasts of quality alcohols.
Staff was extremely knowledgable and friendly. Very comfortable vibe. I wish I lived in the area — It’d be my #1 spot for booze.

So excited we found this place. The selection of wine available is pretty decent. Service is excellent– we asked for advice on white wine for a sauce and the guy who helped us picked out a great wine that was cheaper than we expected. Pretty sure my girlfriend will be in on a pretty regular basis from now on.

They ordered Israeli wine for me.
All others pale in comparison.

Great little wine shop with reasonable prices.
I believe this place is wine & beer, only. I didn’t notice any hard alcohol.
This is a great spot to pick up a bottle of wine on your way to a concert in the park. We decided to drop in and use my Groupon to pick up a couple of bottles on our way home.
Since this place is in the alley behind Tattered Cover, I had no idea it was there. I asked the clerk how long this place had been open and was told ~13 years. Whoops!
So, if I am in downtown and need to pick up a bottle of wine, I will definitely be headed back. I think this is one of only two liquor stores in downtown.

This shop has great wine selection, and is very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and the place has a cool vibe. They’ll gift-​wrap a bottle for nothing.
Definitely worth a visit.

It’s tucked in. an alley? Behind the tattered cover book store. It’s got a great selection of wine and beers. I stopped by during my lunch break from the office to buy a 6-​pack for after work.
I believe they do wine tastings as well, you should check it out and their staff were very congenial.

The only thing that I found interesting about this place is that it’s tucked away in an alley. Makes you feel as though you’re going to some secret place where you’ll find something really «Fun» or «Interesting». I found neither «Fun» nor «Interesting» at this place. I did find «Lacking» and «Let’s Try Some Place Else».
*Too many quotations back there. I felt like Chris Farley there for a moment*
I was hoping to find a decent selection to look through and that just wasn’t here. They had a good portion of California wines, so if that’s what you want they can help you. If you want something else you’re best off looking some place else.

Sneaky Sneak Wine Shop, that is what the name of this place should be… behind Tattered Cover in the alley in-​between Wynkoop and Wazee… right off of 16^th street. Impress your visitors by showing them Tattered Cover then swinging them behind TC to Wines off Wynkoop… Let them see the real local in you and drop in the store to be greeted by friendly staff and free wine tastings.
The store is attractive and small, the layout is easy to navigate, and the selection is great. Best of all, it works for people like me… Who are usually on a $ 13.79/bottle budget or less.
Strategy: Since you can’t drive on 16^th, try scooting down 15^th (one-​way street remember) and take a right at the alley right before Wazee Street… skedaddle through the alley almost all the way to the end, put your flashers on and run like a mad-​woman into the store with your car-​flashers on.
* Star one is for a grrrreat location that makes it fun to visit
** Star vino two is for a great sales team
*** Red red wine star three is for not offering easy parking… Hey, real friends don’t let friends drive drunk remember
**** Headache star four is for being one of the coolest wine-​o shops in downtown Denver
Star five was taken away because parking is hard to find and 16^th street is bus only… Hey, I’m not intoxicated yet… Gotta buy the alcohol first.

Not only is this place owned by the husband of the Tattered Cover’s owner, it has awesome wines to boot!
The place is situated in an alley right off of 16^th street and is great for picking up some booze if you are in the downtown area. The funny location makes you feel very local when you go in… no tourist would head down this alley, that’s fo sho’.
Hardwood floors, sweet staff members, and a great selection of wines makes this place a haven for people who love to drink, like me. You can ask questions galore and the people working will know the answers and can turn you on to great wines. This is a place where you can pick up a bottle of wine for $ 10 that taste-​wise should be closer to $ 50. ROCK!
