Paradise Wine

Excellent. I was expecting something smaller for some reason but I stepped inside to find a very nice selection of wine, all beautifully merchandised with display tags containing helpful descriptions. The owner, Paula, was also very helpful in sharing her knowledge. She asked me about my preferences and then suggested four wines, telling me a little about each. I purchased two bottles and the one that I tried tonight was fantastic — dry but still fruity; exactly what I told her I like.
You might expect a boutique wine shop to be super pricey but this store offers a selection across a wide range of price points. While there were certainty more expensive bottles available, my two purchases came to a total of about $ 25. This is a great place to explore some new options. I really look forward to returning.

Favorite wine store in Buffalo. It isn’t as close to my house as some other, but I will go out of my way to visit Paradise. I’ve only met Paula, but she is so helpful. She is passionate about what she does, and that shows. She gives me lots of time to browse, but is always there to answer any questions I have. The variety, both in wines and price points, is amazing. And make sure you join their wine club email list! They have some great deals and tastings.

Paradise is my new favorite wine store in Buffalo, no doubt about it. Excellent selection of wines, excellent prices (good range of affordable but great wines as well as some high end bottles) and excellent customer service. All of the wines are hand selected and tasted by Paula, meaning she is always ready to offer suggestions and answer questions, even often inquiring «what are you in the mood for» that day. That’s the personal touch you don’t often get anymore. What an awesome addition to the neighborhood and a real treat for wine enthusiasts of every level!

I walked out of Paradise Wine with my arms full last Saturday, despite not really knowing a damn thing about wine. It’s the kind of establishment that just exudes the impression that whomever is in charge is really passionate and thoughtful about what they do and thus you pretty much trust what they’re offering. I bought a really tasty and juicy Barbera (and I learned what that is!) for myself, a nice Pinot grigio for my mother (who was also present), and a bottle of local Lockhouse Vodka to give as a gift. I was concerned that the products would be way outside my price range and was pleasantly surprised to see quite an affordable selection.
The store itself is a newly renovated space in a building on Rhode Island– by the now well known Urban Roots, Five Points Bakery, Left Bank, Essex Street Pub, and so on. It’s coolly minimalistic in décor, has a creative open layout and I especially dig the red aluminum ceiling that so many homes in this area still have. I was raised in this neighborhood and now live a few blocks away. I’m happy to have such a cool new attribute to the zip code and highly encourage everyone– even if you don’t consider yourself a wine connoisseur yet– to stop in!

I was impressed with this little wine store. All the wines are organic and biodynamic, and they are working to add more local wines as well. They all sell spirits including some from the Hudson Valley with lovely little bottles and all Hudson Valley fruits — peach brandy, cherry brandy, pear brandy, apple vodka, and a nice smooth whiskey they were sampling.
It was nice to see a variety of price points. The owners were happy to discuss the wine and what they knew about them, but will also be adding tags to each wine so you don’t have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to.
The original floors were salvaged and add a homey rustic vibe to the place.
One of the owners us currently researching which wines are vegan, but when I went today, there were four reds clearly labeled as such. The vegan wines ranged from $ 8.99 to around $ 25.
