Saw a new shop in the little plaza by Graeter’s when we were at the farmer’s market on Sat, but it wasn’t open. Stopped by today while Alec in a guitar lessons.
House Wine is a small boutique shop with a hand-picked selection and a symbolic system for food pairings and wine styles. Typical price range of 8 – 50$. Decent selection. I actually saw a handful of things I’d drink. Also have wines from United Estates, a local importer which is nice.
Their main schtick is a wine tasting bar where you buy a card charged with credits and then self-serve in an automatic system where you pick the wine. Each wine is pricely seperately by ounce. First saw this in London and it is a good system which helps get a taste as well as a glass and keep the wines fresher than bar bottles.
This is really great insight! Thanks!!!
Three words: wine dispensing machines
I think the shop’s cool interior is worth the trip.

With the money they invested in the design, I bet they try to make the store a regional chain.
It is now on the agenda of things to do.

Maybe, but I wonder about the viability of the operation in general.
If rent is 5K$/mo, you have to sell 15K$/mo of wine just to meet it, aside from all other expenses.
Good to luck to them – it is a nice addition to the area and I hope it is successful.

Q: What do you get when you combine the logical, organizing mind of a mechanical engineer with a deep passion for wine?
A: One of the most distinct and user-friendly wine shops in Central Ohio.
House Wine in Worthington might have a mundane name, but it’s certainly easy to remember, isn’t it? And easing people’s brains into a greater understanding of wine seems to be behind all of the slick design elements at House Wine.
