The character of a finely crafted wine seeps from the earth itself. Wine lovers lovingly speak of terroir - that deeply rooted sense of place that springs from the soil to infuse unmistakably local charm into the most interesting wines.

And so it is with The Wine Spot. We are Greater Cleveland's most distinctive wine and beer shop because we, too, are proud products of our terroir. Our roots reach across Northeast Ohio, but we grow out of Cleveland Heights, a place that shapes The Wine Shop's flavors and philosophies in a uniquely local way.

Sure, we offer an outstanding selection of worldly wine and beer at the region's best prices. But we're much more than a beverage store. We're neighbors.

Our building is a converted hardware store, where generations of Cleveland Heights residents found not just fix-it merchandise, but expert advice and neighborly service, too. We loved Seitz-Agin Hardware and its helpful staff because no question was too dumb or too complicated. We vow to follow that example.

Our furnishings and fixtures come in large part from salvaged wood from Cleveland's past. Local artisans reclaimed this wood and gave it new life. Join us at our tasting table to toast to heritage.

Our walls showcase the work of rising local artists because The Wine Spot doubles as The Art Spot - the new student-run gallery of the Cleveland Institute of Art.

And our unique Cedar-Lee neighborhood is a destination unto itself. We partner with our fellow Lee Road businesses to produce promotions that will give you even more reason to visit this special place.

Come see us and celebrate the beauty of Terroir.
