The Wine Rack

Neighborhood wine shop and I must say, the customer service here is top-notch. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, readily offering recommendations and providing detailed information about different wines and spirits. Their genuine enthusiasm and willingness to assist make the shopping experience enjoyable and educational. Whether you're looking for wine or spirits or just starting to explore, this shop's excellent customer service and informative staff make it a standout choice in the Matthew’s neighborhood.

Excellent!! Super knowledgeable about Bourbon. And we got a good one!!

Great local wine and liquor spot. They are hiding some very nice beers in the back too! They have hidden parking out back, although most like to park on the avenue. A great spot to show up at when you've misplaced that hidden drink ingredient!

This is the best wine stop in all the land! A great go-to for gift cards for your favorite wine lover. An amazing assortment of carefully curated selections. The atmosphere is great, and I have always been helped tremendously when visiting.

Excellent selection of wine. I live in Indiana and this is the only place I'll go to purchase wine. John and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend joining Otto's Wine Club as well, they pick out new wines for you to try out every month. I get 4 bottles of red but there are many plans you can choose from!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have everything- wine, beer and liquor! Very unique finds.

Great wine and Bourbon selection. And the people who work here, often the owner, are very knowledgeable. They are always willing to walk customers around and make recommendations. They never make people feel foolish, no matter how little a person may know about wine.

John carries some unique wines and loves to support local businesses as well. He's knowledgeable in the beverage industry and a good go to if you're looking for pairing recommendations or something in particular. He can also order special request items. Locally owned.

Hands down the best shop in Louisville for Whiskey and Wine. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, and prices are always fair. It's so much better to give your business to a locally owned shop, than to big box liquor stores who have no personal connection with their customers. Shop local, y'all!

Excellent selections of wine and the staff is acknowlegable and super friendly. It can be intimidating to go into a wine store but they make you comfortable.

John Johnson knows his wine. Not the usual grocery store selection. He's supportive of the Crescent Hill community too.

John knows how to make buying a nice bottle of anything an experience instead of a transaction. His selection, space, location and atmosphere are inimitable!
He is the type of owner who knows you by name within a couple of visits and will make recommendations regularly. Support local.! This place is the best!!

Great service and John is great to do business with. I couldn't find my favorite wine in the Louisville area. Wine Rack is always willing to special order it and priced better then other wine shops in the local area.

Fantastic small business located in the heart of Crescent Hill. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and John (owner) is extremely knowledgeable about all of his stock. He always make great recommendations for every price range when asked.

Although it is aptly named due to their vast offerings of wines, they also offer a very above average assortment of bourbons / whiskeys. I shop all over the Ville and The Wine Rack is my most reliable source for top shelf bourbons....always at msrp prices. Helpful / knowledge staff always make a visit here worthwhile.

John really knows his wine. He will advise you on any wine you need. Lots of variety for reds, whites, and rose. They offer beer as well. Tasted some great California wine tonight.

proprietor John Johnson & staff are friendly, knowledgeable, & remember your name & your preferences - simply amazing now-a-days - plus gift boxes & deliveries & wine club. Discounts on full cases of wine, even mixed cases.

First time visiting after hearing many good things. Staff was amazing, knowledgeable and not snobby. The listened to what I like and suggested options in several price ranges. Provided an option I'm trying tonight to my usual first visit question " what about a varietal I may have never tried?" . Impressed all around.

We live out of state but John helped us select a special bottle of wine for a birthday gift. It was delivered in a beautiful gift bag and we are really appreciative of the excellent wine recommendation, and the excellent customer service!

Amazing independently owned wine and spirits shop! The owner is super knowledgeable and over time learns what you enjoy making helpful recommendations. Quality selection of whiskey and beer as well!
