Beyond Napa Wine Market

Great selection of wines, the Owner, not sure his name, has vast knowledge on wine. If you are looking for a special, special, bottle of wine that alot of grocery stores do not have, this is where you go. Still remember the Napa Smith, Starr Wineries, Jack, all great wines, yet wine shop goes beyond these wines, if you have a little bit money, let me be honest here, this is the place to go, and for the person like myself looking for a $ 20.00 bottle of wine for under 12.00 this is the place to go.

Best place in Sacramento/​placer county to get really good wine + spot on recommendations. Once they know what you like, they will steer you to more with the same qualities. The wine they have can’t be found anywhere except restaurants or going to Napa. I imagine you could order online but that’s so much trouble. The only reason for 4 stars is you have to get past the owners personality. I almost didn’t come back after meeting him but the lady makes it worth it. The owner just needs to know what you like then he’s cool. From now on, will only be buying wine from here and not the bigger stores. It’s worth it for good wine all the time.

No need to drive to Napa or SF to get the very best wines. Save time and visit the friendly owners of the comfortably stocked wine boutique. It isn’t Total Wine or Bev Mo. This store is the Porsche of wine sellers. Very fair pricing from bargains to a «special occasion».

I had to laugh at the review below when the customer was upset at being told, «Good luck with that!» when she asked about finding a rare bottle. I called with the same experience, asking for a Pappy Van Winkle bourbon (something that’s basically impossible to find — anywhere — and certainly NOT available at the chain stores!)
My laughter is because the owner said the same thing to me, and we BOTH laughed, realizing how difficult it is to find some of these gems. After chatting for awhile, I really liked this guy, and went in anyway. He has an incredible collection of some fine bottles, in good vintages too! Very experienced and knowledgeble about the wines and the wineries, and I found him to be fun and helpful.
Good coda to the story is that he called me a few weeks later, and had tracked down a bottle that I was searching for, and was holding it for me. Not cheap, but hten again, the finest never is!
I strongly recommend exploring this rare OLD wine shopping experience in a NEW setting. Great stuff!!!

Really rude customer service! In this day and age its not like this wine market is the only place to get good wine. I would highly recommend taking your business else where unless rude, ignorant people is your thing. If that’s the case then check this place out. I’m only giving them 2 stars cause they actually sell some decent wine, otherwise it would be zero just for the atmosphere and negativity.

I think all the other reviews say the basics: not a wide range of selection of wines, but all the wines offered are good. The prices are more than that of a chain store, but this is a small proprietorship.
I like the owner very much, he recommends a wine for my taste and budget that night. I enjoy trying anything, so my favorite about Beyond Napa is going in only knowing if I want a white or red and giving him a budget, then letting him pick one out for me. If you’re open to trying new wines, take a moment to chat with him about what your favorites are and then let him pick.

This is a great store. At warehouses like BevMo and Total Wines, you just don’t get the kind of personal service and advice you find at Beyond Napa. The owner is always friendly and polite and he makes suggestions depending on what we like. Once he gets to know your taste, he’ll recommend wines that are similar or suggest a new one, and he never gouges you on the price. It’s old fashioned kind of service that you just don’t find at bigger stores. My take on the negative review is that people can be misunderstood, especially over the phone.

I called to ask if a wine was in stock. Instead of (politely) telling me no and hanging up, the man who answered the phone decided to be super rude and unhelpful. In hindsight, perhaps it was my own fault for asking whether he know where I could find the wine, but since other Unilocalers mentioned how knowledgeable the employees are, I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask, right? Wrong.
Instead of (politely) telling me he didn’t know, he scoffed and said, «good luck with that» in a super sarcastic tone of voice. Thanks for the help, buddy. I’m a thick skinned and outspoken person, but the tone of his voice totally caught me off guard. I thanked him, said good-​bye, and hung up, but the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I got.
Even though I have never been to Beyond Napa, I vowed to never set foot in that store. It’s uncharacteristic of me to not even give a place a chance. Buying and drinking wine is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable experience. Don’t let these people and their atrocious customer service ruin it for you.

Bought wine here a couple of times. The first time i was a little put off by the personality of the owner but I soon realized its just his personality. They usually always have a bottle opening for taste testing and are knowledgeable about the product.

I was introduced to Beyond Napa by my dad, a big fan and wino. The small wine shop has a unique variety of wines in a range of price points. They’re well stocked on Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Go figure — Napa. But you can find neat, off-​the-​beaten-​path varietals too. Great place to shop for something new. Ask staff for suggestions to get the best bang for your buck or exactly what you’re looking for.

Loved it. There was a great selection of wines that you won’t find in any of the larger wine stores. There is also someone there that knows about wine, will give you great suggestions in varied price ranges and the true opinion. Wine tastings available at times as well.

$ 49.99 for a bottle of 2006 Alexander Valley Silver Oak. Christmas shopping, done!

I am not wasted ²⁴⁄₇ but I happen to drink a lot. Like a fish some would say but not me because I put a gold fish in a fishbowl full of scotch and it didn’t do anything but die. Beyond Napa Wine Market does not kill fish… (best segue ever).
Beyond Napa does however have a great limited selection. It wont wow you with depth but the gems that Dave get’s in there are great. The proprietor has made some great suggestions for me that have really come through.
Moreover he is a super cool guy and I would prefer to buy here than from the nameless drone that is a Bev-​Mo. He’s even cracked a bottle and poured me a glass just because he had a lot of paper work to do and he felt like sharing.
Pretty chill. Don’t expect it to have everything you might want though. Hence the 4 stars. Its a 5 star place with a 4 star selection. Although realistically for your average wine buyer breadth of selection shouldn’t be an issue. If its carried there, its good.

This is one of the dozen or so places I like to find hidden gems in terms of local wines.
The good:
— Parking is easy; I’m always able to find a spot right in front of the store
— Selection: not particularly broad or deep, but a ton of boutique wines, including several you will have difficulty locating anywhere outside the winery itself.
— Stock rotation: Always new stuff in the store. If you went in once every 4 weeks, I feel confident you’ll have a lot of new things to look at/​choose from.
— Prices: The prices are fair given the unique nature of many of the wines. This is a more up-​market wine shop (in terms of product), so the average price per bottle is higher than some other places. But if I had a shop next to millionaire’s row (Sierra Oaks), I’d shoot for the high-​end too.
The…not so good:
— Staff: Lots of comments among the reviews here about staff. Agree that it can be a little snooty in there, but if you’re clear on what you are after, I have had knowledgeable help. They know the wines they sell, and don’t offer wines that they don’t want to sell. There is one guy who I have consistently found to be condescending there.
— Full winery selection: Disappointed sometimes that they will carry only a certain varietal from a vineyard and not other wines from the same vineyard. I’m sure it pertains to my comment above (that they carry wines that they want to sell), and that wine is a very personal choice; what one person loves, another may not.
Anyway, I drop by to browse when I’m in the area and I usually end up finding something that I just can’t live without. It is not my first «go to» wine source, but as I said in the start of the review, they are on my list.

Probably my go-​to place for wine acquisition. They always have a broad selection of interesting finds alongside some reliable standbys. The inventory is mindfully rotated seasonally, as well, so you’ll find a great selection of refreshing whites and roses in Summer, sparkly stuff for the holidays, etc. Incidentally, I am mystified by the reviewer who said their prices are comparable to Berkley’s; try doing some real comparison shopping. You’ll find that Beyond Napa routinely has very competitive prices (as opposed to Berkley’s competitive attitude). I have never had a problem with service there; the staff are straightforward and refreshingly opinionated in their recommendations. They’re conveniently located, as well (at least for me)…truly an excellent resource for one of life’s little essentials.

I wanted to purchase some Eis wine (a very sweet dessert wine) so I popped in here. It’s in the same shopping center as Peet’s and Lyon Real Estate. There was a woman working and she did not greet me nor did she offer any assistance. The store was cluttered with boxes and cases sticking out every which way into the aisle.
They did have an extensive collection of wine accessories such as glasses and paraphernalia. However, the space is small so the range of choices within each wine category is limited (i.e. three or four types of ice wine).
It took forever to ring up my purchase as the PC register seemed too complicated to operate.
There are many other better choices for wine in the Sacramento region, unless you like high-​priced, inattentive service.
