Meza Wine Shop

Cute shop in uptown Westerville. A great wine selection and some nice seating. We picked up their «most popular» cheese plate and were pretty underwhelmed by the quality. A great fruit spread, but the cheese’s were both pretty bland with some extremely spice-​driven crackers.
Good, not great. This place could become a regular spot for Westerville residents with a few quality tweaks.

Still one of my favorite places on earth. I’ve been coming here for years for 3 reasons:
1. So much great wine, of all prices. The owner has tried everything that is in the shelves.
2. Atmosphere. It is chill and so cozy feeling. Whether by yourself or friends, the place is the best!
3. The cheese plates are the best around and you get the best bang for you buck. Don’t even get me started on the fig and roasted red pepper spread!
This place is just the best

Went here on a Friday night. We weren’t sure if we should seat ourselves so we went up to the counter. The girl behind the counter was helping someone else, but made eye contact with us so we waited. After a few minutes, another couple walked up and stood behind us. When the girl came out from behind the counter, she walked right past us and asked the couple behind us if they needed help. We left and went to Good Vibes wine bar down the street. They are much more friendly and attentive.

We always kick off our date nights at Meza before heading out for dinner. We love the cozy atmosphere, affordable wine selection, and delicious cheese plates (which can include meats, candied pecans, olives, crackers, preserves, and warm baguette). Stop in for no-​cork fee Tuesdays, or flights on Fridays.

I previously left a review 2 years ago, after the first time I went to Meza. I loved it then and I love it even more now! My husband and I come here all the time; sometimes during the week just to grab a glass and relax, and other times with friends to share a couple bottles and a cheese plate. They have such a great variety to choose from! The owners are really knowledgeable, too, which is helpful since we’re still learning about wine. They also have a fantastic wine club that we’re members of.

GREAT little wine shop, with amazing décor and very nice ambiance; prices are exceptionally reasonable. Several (four) nice options for cheese plates available, and a nice side to well priced and tasty wines to boot. The proprietor is very nice and quite pleasant; very much worth the visit.

Awesome selection at Meza!
Uptown Westerville is so cute already, but this little wine shop makes it that much better! You can stop in and pick up a bottle, sit down and have a glass, or have a glass while you pick out a bottle. The wines are unique, stuff you can’t find at Kroger/​Giant Eagle.
The cheese plates are delicious. I tried the local cheese plate. It came with two locally made cheeses, a locally made jam (Strawberry & Rhubarb with Bourbon and Vanilla Bean… yum!) and warm baguette slices.
Additionally, the staff is wonderful and knowledgeable.
My favorite wine shop in Columbus!

Always a great time. Friendly and not pretentious. Good selection — a little bit of everything from all over.

Meza Wine Shop gets my A-​OK Unilocal rating in semi-​unfair fashion. It’s due in large part to me not being a wine worshipper and partly because I’m not exactly petite in size. I’ll explain.
Meza throws what they called «Friday Night Flights» and that happens to be the reason for me being given a friend suggested it as a meeting place. Each person pays $ 10 — $ 12 and you receive three 2 oz. samples of that night’s «region» or «composition». This night was CALIFORNIA night and my friend and I enjoyed whites and reds. Call me brutish but my palate couldn’t tell you a Reisling from a Pinot and so forth. So I’m just not well-​suited for enjoying small dabs of wine and exercising my opinions on a specific taste. But the «Flight» concept turned into a nice talking point and Meza staff did an nice job of presentation.
I was impressed by the charcuterie plate as a side. It featured prosciutto, salami and pepperoni sliced nice and thin and came with a bowl of warm assorted olives and baguette slices. There was ample supply to easily feed 2 people not intent on a meal.
Following our flights and one additional traditional pour each of our favorite that night selected from the three, we finished our evening looking for a French wine to go. But we also browsed the racks and shelves for selections. There seemed a good variety of all wines but the presentation was lost on this guy as, again, my yearnings don’t lean to wines by nature.
The shop is a cute one. The table seatings are mostly by fours with stools that are low and seats smallish (remember petite mention?) so my comfort level was only about a 4 out of 10. I will add the comment that Meza on a Friday night was 80% women and that’s always a nice compliment to the ambience.
I would recommend an A-​OK establishment like Meza Wine Shop to any and all friends who like small town presentations. Westerville remains semi-​quiet and quaint and Meza, easy to find and ample parking in the rear, is a subtle gem of the downtown business district. Go on. Sip away!

Is this a gigantic store with huge floor space? No. Does it have every wine made in a region? No. But… NO STORE DOES– not that I’ve seen in NY, Chicago, DC, Europe, etc. This is a lovely shop with a fine selection of wines at all price points, from bargain ($ 8 range) to over $ 100. The selection is wonderfully varied from around the world– California, Chile, Italy, and Croatia! Among the other usual suspects. Excellent selection of local, delicious cheeses. Nice selection of Ohio wines and grocery products– like pasta, sauces, and jams. The staff and owners are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful– they really want to help, and they really know their wines! One of the nicest wine shops in the Columbus area with some very good tastings on Fridays!

I went to a ladies night wine tasting here with a friend after purchasing a Groupon. It was a nice time and good experience, except the shop is small and very full of ladies. I purchased a bottle of wine and would like to go back for more. The owners were great.

Well-​balanced collection with many labels you won’t find anywhere else. Terrifically friendly, helpful owners who listen to your palate and point you in the right direction.

Wine shops are my heaven.
Seriously.
Give me bottles of the good stuff & I’m content.
How anyone could think that the selection here is less than adequate is a loon. There are dozens of options from all over the world and the co-​owner is more than happy to guide you in the right direction.
Although they don’t have food, they do offer carry out small dishes that will pair well with one of the bottles you snag. Olives, cheese… you know, the major food groups.
I haven’t gone in to search for a particular wine, but I feel confident if I was, I would’ve been helped, served and if they didn’t have it possibly been offered to order it promptly with a smile and not a nose up in the air.
The space is in a prime location in «up“town Westerville, and parking is in the church after hours or the lot beside the building. Walking distance is the way to go.
Almost the entire décor is hand-​made so be sure to ask where they got their inspiration. Also checkout out events like classes and happy hours that are usually free, too.
I’m crushin on this place in a serious way. Go find out why…

Visited here to pick up some wine for a dinner party. Ok selection — but missing some potential options that could make it really specialized. Recommended wine was really, really bad — but with only one visit it is hard to determine if this is a recurring problem. Will try again, as it is a great local business, but I am hoping for better in the future.

Nice! Great décor, staff if friendly. They carry a few non alcoholic local products from local vendors and artists. The décor is very attractive and well lit. Its perfect for a small group of maybe 4 or 6. They host several wine tastings for reasonable prices. I will be back!

I reached out to Meza for a fundraiser I did for Pelotonia over the summer. They very generously donated a beautiful gift basket for our raffle, which was one of the more sought after items of the evening.
Because of their generosity, I, of course, thought of them when I did my next fundraiser for Movember. I contacted them again about a wine tasting, hopefully to bring them some business in return for their helpfulness prior and they were very eager to have us for the evening.
The whole process was smooth and easy! They gave us many options of how to host the event and had 5 very tasty wines for us to taste! (So much so, I ended up heading back there a week or so for more of one of them!)
Not only is the space very warm and welcoming; a real pleasure to have a wine tasting in but the owners by far are the thing that makes Meza so special. Their passion about wine shines through in their shop and their dedication to helping their community makes them a real staple in Westerville. I look forward to hosting many more events at Meza in the future!

A wonderful place to pick up a bottle to take home or to gather with friends at a private tasting. Tatjana and Jason have done an impecable job at choosing each and every wine and are very knowledable at recommending the perfect meal for your purchase.
Meza makes you feel like every bottle on the shelve is part of your personal wine cellar!

A great place to go and find wine. Tat and Jason know every wine in the store. They are very helpful. The Friday night wine tastings are an excellent way to sample and learn about wines. Take a group of friends or go by yourself and meet friendly people who love wine.

This is a wonderful hidden gem in uptown Westerville! The wine selection is great and if you are looking for something not on the shelves, they can get it for you. The owners are very personable and recommend based on YOUR taste, not what they like or want to sell. I get all of my wines here!

Meza claims to be a specialty and gourmet food store in uptown Westerville. And though a change from the usual antique store drone of the area is welcome, the claim is disputable.
Very little food is to be found anywhere in Meza. There are a few small shelves of spices here and displays of cake mixes there. Overall, the store looked more like a display for the antique kitchen appliances deco that lined the walls rather than the sparse selection of food.
Prices were average for this kind of place… which actually means sorta expensive. Don’t get me wrong, though. It’s a neat enough store — especially in uptown Westerville. Now that Columbus is attracting Whole Foods and its ilk, there are other stores just do the same thing better.
