What People Are Saying About Every Day Wine
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Wines are displayed on shelves retail-style, and everything is available to taste by the glass in a living room-like atmosphere. Comfy chairs, small tables and an informal bar are packed on weekends with 30-somethings playing board games and petting the resident dog. Wines hover around the $10-$15 range and include some great finds, with a few splurge-worthy bottles as well.

buyer beware
by Soriano
beware, the bins are labeled with reviews and points for vintages that are different than those on the shelf, same winery but very different bottles. when I asked why they did this, the owner told me she just didn't have time to change them but every, and I mean all of the postings were for vintages not on the shelf. she then told me that if I didn't like that I should not shop there. good bye
- Pros: good selection
- Cons: sketchy business practices

needs a lesson on customer service
by eewilson80
I included EDW as the first stop for my fiance's birthday party last night. They have great tastings on Friday nights and you can bring your own food. I was in touch with the owner Beth about the party well in advance so that she would be aware of the larger group of people (~15 people). She was slightly resistant to me having a party on a tasting night but was agreeable. When we got to the bar/store last night several tables were open. When our friends started coming and we asked to grab more tables she rudely stated that she needed to save tables for "other customers". We are a group of professionals, with everyone except for 2 out of 15 not partaking in the tasting (1 had beer). She made another unnecesary rude comment at one other point in the evening, and was snippy when we asked if we could throw away a small bag of trash. When we left the store was nearly empty and during the hour and a half we were there a table was always empty. Unfortunately Beth, the 15 new CUSTOMERS I introduced to your establishment last night will not be coming back due to your rude behavior. We enjoyed the wine and your co-worker was extremely nice. Hopefully Beth can learn a few things from her and chill out.
- Pros: good tastings, good prices
- Cons: cranky owner

You don't have to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy this place
by bingonis
I know that I like wine and maybe a little more. I have never felt alienated by my lack of wine knowledge, instead, Beth (the owner) has taken the time to teach me a couple things about wine along the way. It has been great to enjoy the wonderful taste of wine in a relaxed atmosphere without the pretense so commonly associated with this wondering beverage.
- Pros: Relaxed, inviting atmosphere
- Cons: none
