Spin the Bottle

Feel like traveling to South America? Maybe somewhere in Africa for a day? Check this place out they have an excellent international wine selection. The staff here is very knowledgable and if you are feeling less pinky up and more beer belly they also have an awesome beer selection. Check this Frederick gem out

Totally agree. These guys KNOW wine! Marc is awesome. I lived in the Russian River Valley, Marc knows what the good stuff is from Sonoma or Napa regions

This is my favorite place to go and buy wine and beer. Love chatting with Marc since he is so knowledgeable about wine, beer and life. Love the tastings.

This is fast becoming my favorite stop in Frederick. Marc is always a pleasure to chat with and is incredibly knowledgeable about wine. Always nice to see someone who loves what they do! Recently Marc helped my fiancé and me select some wine for our engagement party and not only was the price amazing but our guests raved about his suggestions! Go check this gem out. Walk down the alley, I promise it’s worth it!

Cozy little wine and beer shop. A great selection at reasonable prices. Owner is super knowledgeable and very friendly!

Great place to shop for fine wine & craft beer. Marc Monahan is a very friendly and helpful proprietor.

If you are looking for a place to not just buy wine but to also learn about what you are drinking then this is the place! The shop itself is down a small alley that opens up into a beautiful garden with ivy and flowers. The shop is beautiful and they way the wine is displayed makes it easy to see all of your options. They often do tastings where you can try a variety of wines or even craft beers and learn about the different styles and what makes them unique. The price range is great and seems to be about $ 10-​$ 25! You can get a bottle for $ 10 here and know that you are getting something good.
If you are looking for a different kind of wine with a unique taste and story the you need to come here to pick it out. It is the perfect place to get a gift for someone hosting a party as well!

LOVE this place– it feels like a hidden gem. It is my favorite place to buy wine in Frederick. It is clean and well curated with excellent selections at a variety of pricepoints. The owner is very nice and knowledgeable.
We were able to pick up a few bottles ranging from $ 10 and up. We mostly only buy California and Oregon wines (yay USA) and really enjoy the reds from the Russian River Valley. They had a great selection to choose from. I am looking forward to drinking all of them!

You know when you see a sign for a store, and your curiosity is sparked? You think to yourself, «Maybe I should just take a peek?» Well, that’s what my boyfriend and I did on a rainy summer Saturday. We walked in and were greeted by the owner (so bad with names). The shelves are floor to ceiling with wine. And, the prices are great. Then there was a room for beers. I’m not a big beer drinker, so my boyfriend grabbed the Rhinelander and Boxer beers. I admit I stole some of the beers. So good. The owner gave us samples and knew the background of the wines and beers. I like to know the history/​story of what I’m drinking. Even though this shop is off the beaten path of Market Street, it’s worth it. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been here twice so far. First was when they were just getting ready to open and I got a tour of the interior design business and the wine store that is connected to it by the very friendly owners. I recently went back for a dog friendly wine tasting and once again, the owners could not be more gracious! They were very knowledgeable about the different wines and had an excellent description of the taste before I tried it.
The alleyway leading to the store is gorgeous, with a beautiful garden and vines running up along the brick walls. I love how easy it is to maneuver inside the store to exactly the type of wine you like as each room has it’s own category. I headed straight to the sweet whites and the dry Riesling I sampled.
They have decent prices and appears they have some sales on specific wines each week. The store is not just limited to wines, they have some fun and unique beers, too. I’m not a beer girl but there were some ones that sound interesting that even I would try!

Brand new & specializing in wines under $ 25, scratch that, GOOD wines under $ 25. The selection may not be huge like some big retailer, but the selection is good & interesting. You’re going to find something you’ve never heard of in here and I’d bet you’ll find something in that category that you’re gong to love. Marc, the owner, really knows his stuff and will have something perfect for you, even if they don’t have 50,000 bottles a la Total Wine. Personally, I’d rather shop at Spin the Bottle and get fantastic service and great prices with a smaller selection, than do the whole «big box» thing.
The shop is down an alley behind Patrick Street Interiors; just look for the yellow sign… they’re across from the Post Office. They’re still new & haven’t even had their official grand opening, so I’m sure it will get even better (which is why they get 4 stars for now). Really love the place, Marc knows wine, and I WILL be back.
