Wine Cellar

My brother's birthday was coming up and wanted to send him a few bottles of wine as a gift. I searched online and found Wine Cellar was in the area. As I entered I noticed an extensive selection of wines. I advised the gentleman behind the counter what I was looking for, how much I wanted to spend and if it could be delivered. We walked thru the shop as he recommended a red and a white wine for my brother's gift and was able to deliver it a day before his birthday. It all worked out well, purchased the wines recommended and was delivered, received and appreciated. Very happy as it was an effortless experience. Definitely recommend and will be back!!

Larry is back and brings his usual wealth of knowledge to the table. He always has recommendations that fit within your budget and his passion for wine is extraordinary. It's a neat store with a ton of unique varietals and vintages. Cheers!

Wine cellar is the best!! Larry is super knowledgeable and has wine for the regular guy or the sophisticated wine connoisseur. Tell him what you like and a price range and he will find something great for you!! he definitely avoids carrying wines that are available in big box stores which means he has some great unknowns.

I read some of the less-than-positive reviews and they deterred me from stopping here. Shame on me. There is an incredible wine and spirits selection here in two large rooms- more than the photos let on. The owner is knowledgeable and helpful. I’d much rather shop here than Garfield’s since the wine prices and selection are better. I bought a couple bottles of mid priced champagne that were very good. This is my local now!

First of all, Dennis B.'s review cannot be of Palatine's Wine Cellar. I have to assume he meant to post regarding the Wine Cellar Outlet in Schaumburg which sells obscure wines at several tiers of low pricing. While that retail store was interesting to browse my first visit, it wasn't for me.

The Wine Cellar in Palatine has an extensive selection of wine and more. (Craft beer, etc.) Customers can find reasonably priced bottles to enjoy as well as more expensive, rare wines from around the world.

On Thursdays, the bar (yes, there is an adjoining bar and space for private parties), offers themed wine tastings. It is also open on Friday evenings. It's a friendly, cheers-type atmosphere where you can relax, enjoy some wine by the glass, and of course, friendly conversation. I highly recommend stopping by!

Impeccable customer service. My first time in and the store owner helped me track down one of the two bottles I was looking for. When he didn't carry the last bottle, he searched it's local distributor, found out where they have it in stock, turned out to be one of his competitors, and wrote down directions for me to get there. Great 'customer comes first' mentality. Will definitely be back.

Excellent selection and prices. Picked up 2007 Viader that was well priced! Cold storage on-site. I will definitely come back!

Larry has all the good stuff!

Great selection and expert advice.

Los mejores vinos 🍷 italianos!
Gracias por todo!
Un fuerte abrazo 🤗!

Really great selection but we had two things that prevented a better rating. First, prices are pretty high on average due to a slant toward high end labels. Second, and we honestly did walk in 10 minutes past their stated closing time, the employee seemed a bit “miffed” to have to answer our questions and cash us out. Again, we were late to come in but we still expected a friendly attitude.

Nice and knowledgeable staff. Larry is always making great suggestions.
His weekly email special is always a great price. A little hard to find...tucked away in the corner but what a great wine shop

Great selection of wines, new and older. Prices are a little high but not unreasonable.
