Amazing! Very quaint and off the beaten path. Recommended by several food and beverage industry people. Love that the prices are not outrageous and the small cuts of cheese. Highly recommend for wine buying for locals or tourists. Owner and daughter are very knowledge.

An absolute blessing! A diamond in any city. Never buy liquor again at supermarkets. This is a business that gives the Big Island sophisticated taste in every category of liquor. The owner has tremendous expertise and is nice. He knows how to price wines and champagnes. Hard liquor is a bit steep but selection is superb. Drink up and be Aloha!

I want to be Alex! He has had some of the most amazing experiences in the wine world for over 40 years(he must have gotten his start at 12). His breadth of knowledge is amazing and he is great at being able to make recommendations. He carries some very esoteric, small producers as well as a whole wall of wines under $ 20 so there’s no excuse to shop anywhere else. He offers free tastings on Friday and Saturday afternoons of several wines and a liquor with some bites of cheese. The cheese in the refrigerator is offered in small portions, like someone else mentioned, which is an affordable way to experiment. Alex is the rock star of the wine world! He knows so many of the producers personally and can spin a story about each one!

Great selection of cheese here. You can buy portioned pieces of cheese for only a few bucks each which is awesome because you can try lots of different kinds without committing to the whole wheel. Only place like it in Kona. Free wine tasting every Friday evening. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Cheers!

Nice selection of wine at great prices. Trust me, I double checked on some of the wines I bought and they were competitive with the prices online. They have a variety of organic wines for under $ 15. I bought one, drank it that night, took a nap, and zero headache. If that ain’t a selling point! So I went back today and bought 2 bottles of other organic wine. They have tastings on fri and sat from 3 – 6 that I keep meaning to make. Update: I went for the friday wine tasting, and it was so much fun. Go with a couple of friends! I believe I tried 4 wines and 2 tequilas. And let me tell you, I walked out with a little buzz! Also, I recently discovered that they sell cheese in small portions. I took home 3 and had a cheese out! It was soooo good and it made my day. This is THEPLACETOGO to pick up some stuff especially for a dinner party. Oh, about that headache free wine I love, its the Organic Heron Cabernet for $ 12.99. Try it and tell me what you think!

Kona is lucky to have Alex! He is friendly, experienced, very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing wines, whether you are looking for food pairing, a bargain, an adventure, or a special occasion. This lovely, brand new store features a wide selection of wines and gourmet cheeses. Check out his tastings and see for yourself. Highly recommended.
