Have been wanting to try but they are no longer here. Waterfront security said they moved to McKeesport/White Oak. They haven't opened their new location and website still lists this location as open. Please don't waste your time coming here like we did.

I have been a customer and fan of the Pennsylvania Wineries for almost a decade now. I do not typically leave reviews, but have never experienced such an egregious interaction. Shortly after entering the store I recognized that I was not familiar with the woman at the counter, because were not greeted or offered any assistance - not that we needed it but this is abnormal. My boyfriend and I come to this location stock up our wine bar frequently, and I typically adore the interactions and experience. I don’t like to assume I am being profiled because it hurts no one but myself - but I simply cannot make sense of what happened upon reaching the counter. I shared that we would be tasting a few (as I like to mix different combinations with the almonderia). A heavy set, very short blonde haired woman quite literally barked back “you’re going to show me your id first and you can taste 3 ”Confused - it has never not been 5 tastings - at her tone but understanding I do not look 30, my boyfriend and I show our id’s. She begins to laugh..? I asked her what was so funny, genuinely confused but open to possibly hearing a joke. She says “ohhh, just thinking of a little squirrel” it was incredibly strange but most discomforting - flat out rude. I turned to my boyfriend and stated that I was no longer interested in spending the $90 we typically do spend in there as long as she is waiting on us, so we left. Whoever is reading this, please know this woman has absolutely no business working with people, especially where there is an experience to be offered. Just incredibly disappointed. If you see her, save your time and money.

I went here to grab a birthday gift for a close friends dirty thirty, the ladies working the store were so sweet and helpful! I never liked wine and I've tried so many over the years so I walked in there clueless! They let me try a wine and it was the first and only wine I actually liked! Not only did they help me find some good wines and gave me some good advice (they definitely know what they're talking about) but they even helped put together a gift bag with cute tissue paper, ribbon, and all! I highly Recommend this store for wine lovers and people having a hard time finding the right wine for them! Will definitely be going back for more gift baskets and wine tasting!!!! Amazing environment, amazing staff, amazing hospitality!! Can't say enough great things about this store!

We discoved them at a wedding convention in 2019. They offered 375ml bottles that they would make custom wine lables of whatever design you provided them. We were getting married in Cape May, NJ and wanted to provide our guests a bottle and two custom glasses in a welcome bag.Our wedding date was June 2020, so I stopped in and placed the order, paid in full, at the end of February. Our wedding was postponed until this past June 2023. I told them we would pay the increased prices, but they only charged us their "cost percentage" of the increase becuase they felt very bad for our situation. Appearently the owner's neice also had to postpone her wedding and lost money from vendors as we also did.They were very accommodating and this is a "stand-up" business. I highly recommend supporting them!

Came across this company at Cavanaugh's Bridal Show in Washington, PA and tried multiple samples. Ordered a sweet white wine called "Niagara" for wedding favors in September 2022 for my October wedding. They offered the best pricing available for such things I could find locally. The women who helped me were very pleasant to work with. I emailed them the photo I wanted to use for our customized label. They mailed me a print out of multiple options to choose from. Everything was boxed and ready for pick up on time. My guests were very pleased with this thoughtful and unique gift.

Great wine store, staff is outgoing and interactive. They provide samples of everything they sell, and the wine is affordable and really good

Both of the women in there, have horrible customer service. They didn't want to wait on me. I was standing at the counter & after about a min, 1 of the women yelled, "who is next!" past me to the other customer with her back yo us. The 1 rolled her eyes when I asked to taste the wine I was planning to purchase as a gift. I believe I was too brown. I left. Will never go back.
Great selection. Staff is well versed and friendly!

The wines have the best flavor! One of my favorite wineries! Great prices for unique and familiar wines!! I have been to many wineries and tasted a lot of wines but I always go back to the best Pennsylvania winery!!

Located in Waterfront, the wine cellar is extremely homey and tastes great! Large selection of homemade award winning wine, I wanted to try the ice wine which was made from frozen grapes, but was 2 dollar for a sample, but they were very lenient and let me and a couple friends sample various wines and choose from those. I bought the almonderia, smells like a tootsie pop and tastes like almond tart, CRAZY GOOD!

picked up 2 bottles of white wine today, one dry and one hybrid. they were both amazing.
Great place! Sorry it is no longer there!
