Frequently Asked Questions

What's the BU Club?

A Club for wine discovery and a gosh darn good time. Check it.

Do you do events?

Abso-freaking-lutely. We organize in-shop and out-of-shop shenanigans every week. Follow us on social or sign up for our monthly newsletter to get the schedule. Promise we won't bombard your inbox either. Who has time for that?

Do you do free public tastings?

"First Fridays!" 5:30-7pm(ish) on the first Friday of every month. We launch the new artist, open fun bottles to taste, and sometimes have live music! Dancing encouraged regardless.

Do you just sell wine?

Oh wow, no. Our spirits section is incredible (thanks to Jake!), plus we carry beer, cider, hard kombucha, mead, sake, shochu, and non-alcoholic options. Not to mention some chocolate, olives, Unbothered Foods crackers, tinned fish, and the best truffle popcorn you've ever had.

Do you carry [insert specific request here]/Can you get [insert specific request here]?

We're a wee shop so it's impossible to carry everything at all times. We want to keep you happy though, because that's literally our job. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome and special orders are totally doable. Just contact us or come on in to chat!

Do you deliver?

Absolutely. We try to hand deliver as much as possible, though shipping in-state is also an option. Fee depends on the destination!

Do you sell gift cards?

Totally. Hard copy AND digital. Because we know last-minute gifts are a thing.

Can you ship out of state?

America's shipping laws for alcohol retailers are, in a word, silly. So yes and no – depends on the state. Contact us and we can tell you for sure.

What days are you closed?

We're only closed four days PER YEAR: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and July 4 (Melissa's Independence Day). Fun fact: Our Google hours are always accurate because we're OCD.

Do you have "natural wines" and/or orange wines?

For sure. Although we're going to ask you what your definition of "natural" is. Both categories are part of our rotating inventory, so ask us what's new!

What's your favorite type of wine/pairing right now?

Nebbiolo and creative writing.

What's with the art wall?

We love art (in its many forms). Which is why we created a wall in the shop to highlight a different artist each month. If you are one or know one and want (them) to be featured, contact us!

Do you love puns?

Punreasonably so.

What's the craziest thing that's happened recently?

Our golden birthday was September 6. Which is nuts.

What are you looking forward to?

Re-doing our website (thanks to Hey Brandi)...and this is it!!! Let us know what you think. :)
