Nice selection of wines but don't expect much attention or assistance from the staff. The wine selection seems to be largely over-priced, which is not altogether unexpected from a downtown wine retailer. I don't buy wine here unless I have no other choice, there are other boutique stores in Calgary that provide more value for your money.
Went in today and bought a $65 bottle of Merlot and asked about a specific label I was interested in that I had bought there before. I was told by the manager (presumably) that he brings it in for a couple of his restaurants and will occasionally split an order with the store. I prodded a little more hoping that he may realize I was looking to bring in a case for myself but instead got "Is this all for you?"... OK, I guess it is then.
The staff are generally task oriented and don't ask customers if they need assistance. The most you can hope for is a "Hi" on your way in before they return to their conversations while they are wrapping bottles etc.
The location is great, really convenient for shoppers leaving for home or a party after work. Lots of floor space and it's got a nice cozy feel. Too bad about the staff :/
