Wine Loft

Large store with a wide variety and price range. Helpful staff. They have a rewards program but I don’t go enough to really take advantage of it. Parking is pretty difficult.

Wine loft update. A while back I wrote a review about my mechanic in Hyattsville, who actually called me unprompted, on a Sunday, to ask how his AC repair on my car was holding up! That kind of service keeps customers. Wine loft is now in that category. I felt a bit put off by the attention I got yesterday and wrote it up. I wasn’t having a great day and Andrew at WL apparently wasn’t either. Today, I didn’t get an excuse or dismissal: I got a sincere apology.
Everyone has a bad day, myself included, and customer service is not easy (customers can be entitled and rude) and running a business is tough. I compliment Andrew for taking the time to reach out and apologize. It was definitely a class move. Won my business back.

Rocko rocks! Yes, I felt like I had a personal shopper. No matter what questions I had he was available AND he had extensive knowledge about the selection. Per his recommendation, I bought a Malbec and sweet red. I can’t wait to try them out.
The Wine Loft has a nice selection of wines, and the store was extremely neat and organized. There is a rewards program that gives patrons 3% back. since I don’t live nearby, I won’t be back as much as I like.

Our favorite wine & liquor store. The people there are the nicest, extremely helpful, and the prices are consistently better than at other places (we’ve visited several in the Owings Mills area). Very convenient location next to Trader Joe’s!

The gentleman helping was knowledgable and suggested s few wines for me. Prices were reasonable and they sell hard liquor as well, so it’s a one stop shop although I was just shopping for wine. The set up is nice as the front has the «crates» worth the wines of the month. I don’t live in the area however next time I come, I’ll definitely come back.

Was a nice looking shop with low prices and a decent selection.
I’m just blown away by how far off the staffs’ recommendation was. I had already picked out a few wines and wanted to get a Spanish albarino for the crisp minerally acidity to go with some lite appetizers and oysters I was going to be serving before diner. The staff member said they were out but recommended a local albarino that he said may even be better. I asked if it was the same style –because as incredibly different as the two areas are and how different the other local albarinos I’ve had are in style I was skeptical. He assured me it would be what I was looking for.
Opening the bottle it could not have been farther off. When I’d wanted a lite crisp mineral driven wine with some light fruit notes I got a buttery creamy full bodied wine more akin to a Virginia albarino or Californian chardonnay. It’s not a BAD bottle but just completely different from what I was looking for and was told I was getting now I’ve gotta run out to another shop before my two guests arrive in an hour.
There are dozen of other wines I could have picked up in the store (sauvignon blancs, reislings etc) that would have worked fine. I really wish I’d just stuck with my own thoughts instead of listening to the shop worker who either just heard albarino and thought all must be similar or was just out to push the local inventory.
Just really disappointing.

This place is beautiful and well stocked. The staff is very helpful and they offer a loyalty program with a lot of perks. An older gentleman recommended two different wines he thought I would like based on a wine I asked for that they did not carry. (Ripasso) They were both amazing!

Spacious, friendly, and well-​stocked the Wine Loft is my one stop shop for craft beer and wines. The staff is well versed in what to recommend and they don’t push you to buy more than what you are looking for. My last purchase was the Sam Adams summer ale which was 8.99. They always have the latest beer. I recommend signing up (free) for their loyalty program to get special perks. Conveniently located next to Starbucks and Trader joe’s, I never miss a chance to come here.

Amazing selection, very friendly and alert staff. I didn’t give it a 5 because I wish they had a gourmet cheese section. Lol that’s the LA girl in me!!!

I absolutely love this place! I walked in to buy a bottle of wine for my weekly show watching and couldn’t help, but laugh because the first thing the woman asked when I said I was looking for a great bottle, was «is it for Scandal Thursday?» I literally burst out laughing. She was amazing and truly knew her wines, to bad I didn’t get her name. I would recommend this place to anyone. The people are very friendly as well as knowledgeable and wish to make your experience great. Will be visiting again soon!

The Saturday tastings here are awesome. They bring in great representatives and have a good day of tasting discount. They will also log the wines you buy if you ask them to which will help remember for next time. They may not be the cheapest but they have fair prices and the staff knowledge is amazing. My favorite wine store. Worth a visit. Subscribe to their newsletter to know what the tastings will be.

This is officially my place for wine. I have to go the long way home to get ther, but I’m not complaining. Selections are great. A lot of great prices. Ashley is the man, but the lady that helped me the previous time was also, but I can’t remember her name. Rewards card that keeps record of your buys. Why hasn’t anyone else thought of this? Great feature for wine learners like myself.

I found this place after having a horrible experience at another wine establishment (see my review for that one). I did a quick Google search and found The Wine Loft and decided to give it a try. So glad I did because it’s a great store!
Not too big so you get more personalized attention. A thoughtful selection of wines. The guy who helped me (I didn’t get his name!) gave me great recommendations on a Shiraz and a Riesling. I can’t wait to try them both. And neither of them broke the bank price-​wise so I’m pretty happy.
I’ll definitely be going back!

I like this place. I’m fairly good with food and useless when it comes to wine. There’s a well aged (think good cheese) guy who really knows his stuff and will wax poetic about everything he has. I find a visit incredibly entertaining. One saturday morning, way to early for my likes, I witnessed a spirited (just shy of 15%) discussion he had with a colleague about a wine he was sampling that day. They opened a bottle for me me, and to quote Gary Vaynerchuck, it blew my ********** face off. It’s wonderful to be around people who are passionate about what they sell.

Nice place. Pictures included. Wood overbearing smell upon entering. The lonesome employee never said a word to me, my friend or the other patron in the store. He spoke to a customer he clearly knew already. We had a nice conversation about the types of beer and the difference with the other patron, too bad it wasn’t the worker. BUT… Prices are about the same as other spirits stores, no discounts.
I was surprised to see beer and liquor towards the back of the store, as I did assume it was just a WINE LOFT. That worked for me since wine is not always a want on the spirits list, though it will get you buzzed. Women love it. Good quality items in here.
The employee was kind enough to greet us out of the store, LOL… go figure!

I was completely blown away by how refreshing this wine store was. We dealt with Michael who not only had a TON of knowledge about wine AND beer, but he was obviously excited at the chance to share that passion with us. Excellent wine selection and very discerning craft beer selection.
In one visit, this place jumped to my number one spot for favorite liquor store.

I like to come here when on Trader Joe’s and Barnes & Noble errands. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, seems to be a relatively quickly rotating selection of wines. Not the hugest selection of wines I’ve ever seen, but actually that probably makes most people happier with what they get. It smells like wood on the inside of this establishment. I’d hazard a guess and say pine, but I have no idea about my wood scents. I’ll throw out birch too. Prices are good for the area as well.

Horrible experience! I have been here before they had a groupon and I liked the store very much. However, I was there recently and tried to use the groupon I bought and received major attitude from the staff! Before they rang me up, I mentioned that I had a groupon. The cashier smirked and said «oh, of course you do»
How rude! If you don’t want customers using groupons then don’t offer them!
I think it goes without saying that I will never shop here again!

Price for liquor was posted on their web site. I went in store and ask to purchase for same price. They refused and said that web site is out of date. They said they pay more than what was listed on web page. That was a not true since I have a copy of the beverage journal (Maryland’s whole prices that all liquor stores pay) and know the maximum they paid.
I also don’t care for the fact that they lead you toward non-​popular wines and distributor closeouts where they make higher margins
