Groezingers Wine Shop is located in the small restaurant and hotel rich town of Yountville. In fact this shop is conveniently located close to Redd, Bouchon and Bistro Jeanty - all culinary delights in their own right. Groezinger's is also located right next door to the Yountville Visitor's Burea. There are an abnormal selection of very high end well-known restaurants for such a small town. Where there is good food there is good wine (or maybe its also the opposite) and Groezingers provides a number of wines from very small boutique wineries, most of which you will never have heard of unless you are in the wine business or have been tasting exclusively Napa based wines for the last several years as we have! Groezingers was the name of a historical winery built in 1870 which is now the high end shopping center called Vintage 1870 - located just down the street. This very small retail shop is somewhat hidden unless you know where to look - just look for the brick building and their hanging sign in front.

The wines are laid out nicely and most of the wines they sell are from wineries without tasting rooms. There is metal tasting counter which is only opened during times of demand. Friday afternoons are typically good times to stop by here and hang with the owners or others searching for 'off the beaten' path wines. A taste here is not your normal taste, rather it can more appropriately be called drinking. With an eclectic display of artwork, low key atmosphere and fun loving owners, what more could you want during a tasting stop while on vacation! We have not yet tasted and "hung out" here, but will do so during an upcoming Friday afternoon in the near future. Also worth mentioning is their monthly newsletter. It is currently mailed to a number of clients on their mailing list (you can join this mailing list by calling them, hitting the website or by stopping by). This newsletter has an often entertaining introduction with additional intriguing and humorous featured descriptions of mostly Napa red wines. This is a good chance to stay tuned in to their latest releases and be apprised of any deals offered.

Groezinger's specializes in offering wines from small, family owned operations that bottle only a few hundred cases each vintage. Typically these wines are not available outside of the Napa Valley. Stop by and introduce yourself to store owners, Rick or Justin. They are very personable guys and are always willing to help out tourists with wine decisions including what to pair with specific wines and where to go in the valley. These guys are among the most humorous people working in the Napa Valley and besides writing their popular newsletter together, they have a penchant for making humorous videos. They really are good actors - perhaps a wine and culinary TV show should be in the making. Look out Michael Chiarello.
