Located above Wilridge, an urban winery in Madrona, and situated alongside a cozy wine bar (also called Bottlehouse), this shop is a Seattle institution. It’s the ideal place to learn how wines go from grape to glass while sampling an excellent selection of bottles from local Pacific Northwestern producers and global estates. One of the first shops to embrace wine on tap, Bottlehouse is both forward-thinking and accessible. It’s a good place to get geeky about wine — and if you want to stick around for salumi and cheeses after you pick up a bottle, the adjoining wine bar offers both deck (below) and garden seating.
