Auburn Wine and Caviar Company

Great staff! Great selection by the glass and off the shelf. 3 – 4 beers on tap. Inexpensive Sunday brunch. Wednesday’s are ½-​off house bottles. Good for when you want a break and know your weekend will be full. LOVE the bacon wrapped dates and Cheese and Salumi plate with locally smoked salmon. Our favorite place to bring guests and friends. Large parking area in back; driveway is tucked away on North side of building. Book the upstairs party room well in advance for events.

This is the first Unilocal review I have ever written but our experience at your fabulous establishment couldn’t go unnoticed. My mother in law won a wine tasting at a local charity event and took the opportunity to have a girls night out. We always have fun when we get together but the experience you provided put the evening over the top. Based on other wine tastings I have been to I expected a few small samples and some bread or crackers. What we received was generous servings of delicious wine with an impressive assortment of food pairings. Additionally the owner gave us great information on each wine as it was served. One of our group called it «mini history lessons». I can’t think of one thing that would have made the night more enjoyable except maybe a second helping of Linda’s homemade Tiramisu.

We love this place! There are definitely regulars so don’t get intimidated when it’s clear you aren’t one of them! Everyone is friendly and my husband and I love the prices, the albeit limited food options (but there are unique and tasty options) and live music! The staff is sweet and there are cute gift options. A huge wine selection too!

Food here is really good and really decent prices. I’ve tried some of their sandwiches and the cheese plate is yummy.

Very pleasant staff. Bright lights fill the room. Prices are better than you might expect. Menu reads tasty a great place for a glass of red and good sandwich.

Great wine choices, tasty food and very good prices. 5 stars for having happy hour all night on Weds!

Really enjoyed the wine selection in the back area (anyone that sells Leonetti is good in my book) and the live music. I was taken aback a bit by our server as she immediately let us know that since there was 30 minutes to closing we could not have anything other than a glass of wine, which is understandable, but then proceeded to open up bottles for other tables. I will go back, because I am a wine enthusiast and would really love to show this place to some other wine lovers. The establishment itself is lovely, but I agree with some of the other reviews regarding service and that it is lacking at times. Will return though for the luscious Walla Walla selection! I say everyone try this place that loves wine!

Been here a few times over the past few months and there’s a lot to like and some not to like. Their wine selection is huge and the staff seem to know their stuff pretty well. A decent selection of food on the menu too, and what we had was good (only ate there once) and the prices for wine and food are surprisingly reasonable. What we did see on both occasions, though, was a staff that really didn’t seem to care too much if we were there or not. Or other customers too. On both visits we waited to even be acknowledged, and we almost left the first time, it took so long. Then getting served is another wait, and we also both times saw numerous cases of someone sitting there with an empty glass for minutes on end. The staff will talk among themselves with their backs to the room while people are sitting there with empty or low glasses of wine. Like they seem kinda oblivious to their job as servers. We even saw them leave the bar more than once, completely unattended, for 3 – 4 minutes at a time — we’ve really never seen in attentive service like this before and we saw it on both of our visits there so far. I will say thought that their staff is very nice and friendly, but thats only if they get around to you! Will probably try it again, but the third strike might be the last, as we do appreciate decent service. We even spoke to another customer about this and he said he’s been coming there pretty regularly for sometime and also thinks the service is consistently pretty poor. You have to wonder how well this place would do if they had all this going for them AND good service! Anyway, it’s worth a try, but good luck with the service. Parking is a bit of a challenge too; you might have to drive to the gravel lot about a hundred yards behind the shop. We’d give them four or five stars overall if it wasn’t for their very second-​rate service.

Odd that this place doesn’t have more reviews… anyways, good wine, good service, and the appetizers were tasty as well. I would recommend the salami and Parmesan plate — delicious. We went on a Wednesday and the prices were great (half-​off select glasses and bottles).
Yep it’s a weird location in South Auburn, but if you drive down «A» street on the way home why not stop by?

5 stars for inventory, 3 stars for food and service.
Starting with the shop: WOW! They’ve got racks in every nook and cranny. Last I was in, they were finishing additional rooms upstairs, one of which will have beer taps. Huge variety of wines, many of which are unfortunately not priced (annoying). Bottles available span every region, variety and pricepoint: if you have even an inclination towards wine, you will find something to love. The owner seems to know his stuff. The rest of the shop staff, perhaps not so much.
As a bar/​dining establishment: woeful lack of food, and really tough for anyone with special dietary needs. They’ve got a big selection of bottled beer, and nice flat screen TVs for the boys/​less wine-​inclined. The pourable wine selection was reasonable, but the young woman serving us last poured me a glass full of broken cork sludge: not cool. What’s worse is that she did not appear futzed by this in the least. As previously mentioned, the owner is super helpful and knowledgeable, but the younger ladies seem not to be.
While the food selection is in dire need of assistance, and the young servers need schooling, the many rooms in this facility would make this an excellent venue for small to medium-​sized parties. It’s a lot more compartmentalized and private than most ‘wine bars,’ which is really nice.
