Portland / Oregon / United States
"Liner & Elsen is often mis-characterized as a rich-mans wine shop. True, the twenty-year-old business does have a remarkable selection of old and rare vintages ( 1991 Beringer, anyone? ), but the enormous, wide-ranging stock includes just as many amazing deals as it does luxury bottles. Check the monthly specials at the front of the store, where youll find a dozen cases priced at under $15 per bottle. The store stocks plenty of small Oregon winemakers ( Abbots Table, Siltstone ) and esoteric imports ( Greece, Georgia ). For a special occasion, you cant go wrong with Liner & Elsens stock of rare and single-grower Champagnes.""The shops staff, owner Bob Scherb and three others with years of experience, are "food-type" wine people. They enjoy answering questions and making recommendations about which wines to serve with a particular meal, picking out key ingredients.""Its all about quality at Liner & Elsen Wine Merchants, where no bottle hits the shelves without being tasted and approved by the erudite staff."Liner & Elsen is a wine store located in Portland, Oregon, that features an expert selection of fine wines, friendly and knowledgeable customer service, and exclusive offerings such as in-store tastings and classes, the best wines of the Pacific Northwest, wine futures, and our free monthly newsletter.
