I spent a couple of hours at The Wine Merchant 3972 Edwards Rd Cincinnati, Ohio 45209.
A beautiful wine store and wine bar, with a tempting slogan “Taste before you buy”!
Wine Merchant has a large selection of wine on tap. This is an incredible way to try wines that you haven’t experienced and have several of your favorite wines.
The way the wine on tap works: First purchase a card from them with a chip. You can use cash or a debit card to purchase it. Then load money onto the card which is used to buy the wine on tap. The Napa Technology Wine Station is the first in Cincinnati.
All the wines are high quality and from all over the globe, and you choose the pour size, one ounce, two ounce, or more.
Prices are amazing and the glasses are big and perfect for wine tasting. The tables are roomy and made from repurposed wine barrels, which is super cool and eco-friendly. New wines are introduced throughout the month to keep customers coming back. If there is money left on the card it can be used when you return.
The Bottled Wine Selection is Incredible
Wines in the store are clearly marked from country of origin and prices are easy to read. I love wine from Alsace, France and there were many to choose from. A fine selection of Pinot Noir, Austria, Spain, California, and New Zealand. Seeing so many delicious white wines from Italy was rare, most wine stores focus on Italian reds. Well, Wine Merchant has both styles in abundance.
Large maps on the wall from Bordeaux, France and Willamette Valley, Oregon showing and explaining the growing regions was entertaining. The store sits at a busy intersection and free parking is in the back.
Wine Merchant has been at this location since 1996, and the owner and his staff are extremely helpful and friendly. They offer several wine clubs at various price points, and fun events listed on their website. I can’t wait to return for more delicious wine on tap.
