Wine Vault

No Longer In Business

I visited this store not to long ago. The wine selection was nice, had some rare ones, but that’s beside the point. This is Rate Beer! This beer selection was hit and miss. Singles were lacking but found a few good ones. The staff was not that knowlegable. Would you pay $18.00 for a six pack? Come on.

Cool little shop that specialized in mostly wine, but along the right side of the store all in coolers, they have a fair selection of mostly local 6 packs, from Bells, GLBC, etc. Past that though is a very nice selection of many singles that I haven’t seen elsewhere in Central Ohio. I made a nice mixed six pack with some Bell’s, Avery and others. The staff seemed very willing to help but also was content to let me look.

Nice little place with--you guessed it--a lot of wine. The coolers in the back house mostly six packs, while on the right of the store you will find coolers with lots of singles. Of the stores I have visited, the singles prices here seem to be among the most reasonable. I scooped up their last 12 oz. bottle of Bell’s Expedition for $2.50 (which I will not be touching for several months). The singles selection is solid, but I don’t understand why they don’t sell more as singles. The six-pack selection is solid, making this a good place to shop in the area. If you are looking to stock up on sixers, though, you may find The Andersons nearby to be more what you’re looking for, and Kenny Road Market a few miles south has a much more extensive selection of six-packs and bombers.

The problem, and the reason I no longer shop here (ever), is because the guys who run the place are major tools. Plan on getting treated like a lowlife punk if you’re not in the store to buy wine.

The Wine Vault is an unassuming little shop in a micro-plaza on one of the bigger roads in Dublin. The fact that it is not part of any of the bigger plazas might lead you to not notice it. Add to that the fact that the storefront is really plain looking, although recently they have gotten a sign that is much more visible. There is a very small parking lot in front of the store.

I went here on a recommendation and was surprised at how big the store is and what a varied selection of wine and beer they carry. This is one of the few places I know of where you can buy great beers such as Great Lakes and Kalamazoo Bell's in singles. Most of the beers are in coolers along the right side and the rear of the store. They also carry a decent selection of micros such as Anchor, Sierra Nevada etc.

The staff is also knowledgeable and courteous considering it is primarily a wine shop.

Overall this is a worthwhile beer stop in Dublin. The close proximity to The Anderson's means you can find a large number of beers in a short amount of time.
