The Wine Goddess - Evanston

Great wine shop. Everyone here is friendly, helpful and courteous with great recommendations. Casually stopped by for a glass of wine and the frozen drinks Don't skip on this place and meet some great wine enthusiasts

Great, great great! And don't let the name fool you the owner is not a goddess (at least, I don't think so), and the shop sells more than wine. I'll call the space both cozy and crammed, and each is a compliment. There is such a wide selection of wine, beer, spirits, aperitifs, snacks and more. You'd think the staff would have a hard time staying on top of it all, but they're all warm and knowledgeable in dealing with questions. I was worried about how the shop would survive the pandemic and competition from a recently opened Binny's Beverage Depot, but it's a testament to The Wine Goddess's service, selection, and charisma that it not only survived but is flourishing.

Very good wines, amazing cheeses, a great service and a welcomed simplicity. An Evanston gem

I cannot recommend the Wine Goddess enough! If I could give them 10 stars I would! Throughout the pandemic, they have been keeping the safety of their patrons and staff top of mind. I reached out to the staff to help plan a private virtual wine tasting and the experience could not have been more fun. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive! From spot on beer recommendations for specific tastes to the friendly faces when picking up orders, the Wine Goddess continues to be a shining light. Thank YOU, team WG, for all that you do!

To say the Wine Goddess has a great selection of wine would be an understatement. The beer, and liquor selection is good too. The wine on tap is great and they have lots of places to sit and relax. Most of the cheaper wines I've purchased here have been sub par but, I blame myself mostly for that.
