It could just be the wine shop around the corner, and for me it is. But I really like this place and I would find myself driving to Carytown if it meant getting the perfect wine, cheese or beer.
What I really like about this place is the people…….
Sara is amazing with cheese. Her enthusiasm is intoxicating and almost requires that you learn to speak the romantic languages so that you might properly appreciate each and every specialty cheese.
David is the beer man. He loves to talk shop whether it is local or global. Be careful because he might get you hooked on some seriously hoppy brew.
Peter is my favorite wine man. I just love going to him with a menu and letting him scurry around the shop picking the perfect match for my meals. He has yet to miss.
Julia is the perfect hostess. She has an invigorating personality with the stories and knowledge to back it up. She owns the shop and she has done a wonderful job of making it a place where people need to return.
Truth is that I am far from an expert on wine, cheese and beer. The staff at RCC make me feel empowered every time I leave the store. They have good selection, fair prices, and they make shopping there- fun.
I miss Carytown Beer and Wine.
They did beer justice.
This is one of my favorite places as well. Check out the Caromont Goat cheese made here in VA. Lovely. They are also featuring a Collection Rose wine in a 1/2 bottle that is so cute, I had to pick it up. And the wine was super to drink, too.
Mark, Carytown Beer and Wine had a great beer selection. If I remember correctly, I think Daid came over from that place.
PJ, I can’t tell you how many bottles of Rose that I end up buying over there. Truth is that the cheese counter is my guilty please and yes the Caramount is fabulous. I have some in the fridge as we speak.
