The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

As others have said, it is a decent sized wine store. There was a cooler full of decent, nothing hard to find beers. There were a few cases of warm beer, Founders, some locals, nothing special. We prefer the W&C around the corner, just had to stop in and see what they have.

Love It!

I guess if you’re in here for some reason and can’t go to Wine and Cheese Place around the corner, it has some worthwhile beers to pick up. It has a full rack of Boulevard Smokestack bombers, some cool ciders and European lambics, and some good American and European craft stuff. I didn’t see anything that TWCP didn’t have, and this appears to be a great wine store if that’s your thing. The aroma of the cheese counter hits you right as you walk in, and the place appears to be a nice one for cheese aficionados. The one advantage over TWCP- this place is open one hour later, so if you encounter a locked door around the corner and need to grab something, here you go.

Pass, go one block over and visit The Wine and Cheese Place. Great wine selection, but almost nothing out of the ordinary for beer.

If you are in Clayton, this saves the 10 mile trip to the other location in Creve Coeur. Otherwise, there doesn’t seem to be a reason to prefer one location over the other, except this one is open Sunday. Here’s their position for both sites: The Wine Merchant, Ltd. also offers an extensive selection of beer. Between our locations, we have nearly 300 varieties of beer from around the world. From industry giants like Anheuser Busch and Coors, to small craft breweries like Weihenstephaner, Samuel Smith’s, Schlafly and Chimay, The Wine Merchant, Ltd. has the best.
