The Wine Specialist has been a part of the NorthWest DC marketplace for 14 years. On the edges of the Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle and Georgetown neighborhoods, we have a personality all our own. Each member of our team has his or her own area of expertise allowing The Wine Specialist to not only boast the best selection of wine but also specialty items such as Single Malt Scotches, Sake, and Cognac. The Wine Specialist has become a haven for those searching for the un-findable. We’re happy to search for any item you could want, and pride ourselves in the ability to find what you are looking for. Meet our staff and feel free to contact any of us for questions, whether specific or general; all the Specialists are here to help!
