I love this little place and I swear its not because I know the women who run the store. I love it for the celebration of wine that they continually bring to their little space in the Kierland Commons. They bring an everyday-type of approachability to wine that is currently lost in the fashion-forwardness of wine. Wine, in the last couple/few years, has become a sexy and fashionable commodity.
Kathy and Pat have continue to add events to their calendar that keep people walking into their store, forcing their consumer to browse wines based on broad term flavor profiles (Sweet, Bold, Mellow, etc...). Which is a perfect way to approach wine - because not many people know how to describe a wine, they just know what they like when they taste it. What an ingenious way to target your consumer; make it simple. Take the guess work out of it and provide small production/boutique wines a large demographic that is just starting to realize how much fun wine can be and provide your customer base with wine offerings that are not available at Cosco, Cost Plus or even Sportsman's (by the way I love and support all those retailers). Bacchus is committed to providing something special and unique, yet unpretentiously, everyday of the week.
Cheers.
