The Original Napa Valley Wine Merchant
Located in St. Helena, California surrounded by Napa Valley’s most famous properties. Our outstanding selection of wines showcases California's very best. We also offer a selection of highly rated wines from around the world. In addition, we seek out little known wines from hot new wineries and find super values for our customers.
Since 1983, we have searched for and established many relationships with small boutique, premium wineries. This allows us to offer wines to you that are often still undiscovered and very difficult to acquire. Come visit us during your visit to Napa Valley and sample our unique wine tasting while you make your selections for your cellar.
Old and Rare Wine
The St. Helena Wine Merchants sells a tremendous amount of properly stored wines from customers. Only after carefully scrutinizing the storage conditions and physically examining the bottles do we put these wines up for sale. Because these older (often irreplaceable) wines are sold on an "as is" basis, we place our reputation on each old and rare bottle in our inventory. Please understand that our library wines often present qualities that are vastly different from their current release counterpoints- elegance, subtlety, complexity- the hallmarks of a mature wine. Please be advised that all sales in this department are final. If you have an interest in these type of wines for your cellar contact our head of old and rare wine, Jeff Yates
