Rocks + Acid Wine Shop

Lovely neighborhood wine shop in southern village! All of the employees are so helpful and knowledgeable. I haven’t had a bad wine from here - they always have something special/interesting to choose from. I also love the ice bags they’ll put the wine in if you go to share a bottle with friends, so much so I bought one for home. It is always chilly inside (for the wine!) so bring a jacket if you plan to stay inside. Absolutely lovely to sit outside on their patio during spring/summer/fall!

We recently stopped in for a glass of wine and ended up staying for a blind tasting class led by the owner, Paula. Overall, a great experience. The staff was approachable, fun, and knowledgeable. We went home knowing a little bit more about wine and 2 bottles that we know we will enjoy :).

8/2023 this place has become a local favorite. Perfect place to stop in for a glass of wine & let that summer breeze cool us down. Staff is always helpful. I chose a Rosé this time. It quickly became a favorite. Jan/Feb 2023 Stopped by to check out this new wine store in Southern Village Market Street. Staff was helpful and explained how the wines are displayed currently - that will be changing in January - & what type of wineries they’ve partnered with. They also have a good selection for charcuterie boards. Good vibe.

I absolutely love Rocks & Acid! The selection is incredible, offering a wide variety of wines. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to provide great recommendations based on my taste preferences. I’ve discovered so many new favorites thanks to their expert advice. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a joy to stop by whether I’m picking up a bottle for the weekend or searching for the perfect wine for a special occasion. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality wines!

Perfect wine shop, I always ask for a recommendation and the staff never disappoint. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Wonderfully friendly staff too, I really enjoy and recommend this place!

Laura is Super inviting and friendly & knows her wine ! This is a super place to meet friends, enjoy a glass of really nice wine(s), or learn about wines in one their many fun classes Also pet friendly !

Love the focus of Rocks ‘n Acid: as often as possible, female vintners and great wine. The people working here are deeply knowledgeable and personable.

As you enter the shop, lined with wine from small wineries, Paula, Laura and staff will warmly greet you and offer assistance. Describe what you are looking for and they’ll find the perfect bottle. Trust them-they’ve introduced me to many wonderful affordable options over the year. The store carries an extensive selection of conservas (tinned fish) at reasonable prices. Check out the cheese & dried meat selection to make a truly interesting charcuterie platter. I’ve attended several wine tastings there. The classes are well run, informative and encourage discussion. The shop is kept at 65 degrees so dress appropriately if you plan to stay. It is a pet friendly place so don’t be surprised if one of the dogs come to greet you. It’s a pet friendly shop. I want to address a comment where an individual felt the staff was rude to him & his group who were there while a wine tasting event was held. I was there for a wine tasting class once and there was a group who was loud and the speaker could not be heard. They were politely asked to speak softly. Being that it’s a small shop with high ceilings, the group probably wasn’t aware how their voices carried. Go for the adventure and stay for a glass. You won’t be disappointed. Paula, Laura and Hannah are fabulous.

This is fantastic wine shop. (I used to work in the wine business so I know just a little about it.) Most stores/restaurants buy from just a few distributors - I think she said they use 27. Thus their selection in this area is unparalleled. After visiting the Jura region in France in 2013, I've been looking all over this state for wines from that region and have never found one - and I check in literally every shop I visit. I've found two at this store so far. (I recommend them, it's like an unfortified Sherry.) They do nice flights and wines by the glass - they also have a really great selection of rose's and orange wines, which I've grown really fond of. I haven't done any of their "classes" or "events" because I'm not a joiner, but if you like that thing then there you go. I think bottle prices start in the low $20s.

Why didn't this place open while we still lived there?!?! It is so cool! It's beautifully designed and has outdoor seating. The employees were so helpful and personable. We were in town for two days and went both days!
