WineStyles

Let’s start with the staff: top notch. I’m sitting here at a business where I can no longer enjoy the products. I’ve developed an allergy to wine. HOWEVER, I did the purchasing for a wine shop in the past, so I know what to look for here.
The selection is fantastic. The have a very large selection of domestic and imported wines. There is a mix of commonly-​found labels and some surprising finds. The wines are grouped into «tasting stations» of fruity, mellow, bold, bubbly. There is a section where they have the Wine Club Selections.
Besides the wines there is a nice selection of craft beers. They have a build your six-​pack program and have seasonal beers. There are 6 draft beers on rotation.
Also there is a menu of small plates and you can get a cheese plate while drinking wine. A lot of people were sitting at the bar and the back party room was full.
You can purchase different cheeses and wine accessories
WineStyles is a great place and I look forward to a return visit!

The fact that this is not a #1 hotspot in the DSM area is a shame! Go here, now!
To start — super lovely staff. No pressure at all to buy– the staff is available when you want them & leave you alone the rest of the time. Perfect.
The wines are (surprisingly) very affordable. The store does have several more expensive varieties, but overall the average price is $ 15-​$ 25. There is a great description for each label, and I found that helpful for my indecisiveness.
In addition to wine, the store has ample gifts, fine cheeses, craft beers, and a great chocolate/​bakery area.
You can buy by the bottle or buy the glass for several varieties. I went with 3 others and we bought 2 bottles of red with some cheese and preserves for a delicious time.
The store does have some «menu» items: think light sandwiches & side items to accompany the wine tastings.
From what I understand, the store has a fabulous wine club and weekly tastings.
Ambience is perfect– this is in the West Glen area which has a lot of understated luxury. Wine Styles fits in perfectly.
