Weimax Wines and Spirits,
Burlingame
Viewer C. Falletto brought this shop to our
attention in March. He wrote:
I live in The City and sometimes drive across the
bridge to a number of the East Bay places you suggest for wines and foods. I
also wanted to point out my favorite wine place in the Bay Area....it's down on
the Peninsula, in Burlingame, and is called Weimax Wines & Spirits.
I often shop there, as they have a great tasting room.
I've even taken part in some of their sit-down blind-tastings. They have a web
site : www.weimax.com
The staff is knowledgeable about food and wine and
quite enthusiastic to share new suggestions. They have turned me on to many
interesting Spanish and Italian wines, but I've bought Alsatian and Southern
French, along with an Austrian Sauvignon Blanc and South African Chardonnay!
They have an amazing array of Italian and lots of
Californian, too. Gee, they ought to pay me to be their spokesperson!!
Viewer Tom Marvel added another note:
I'll second the "motion" regarding Weimax.
It's a lovely shop crammed with interesting wines from all over. I was there
this weekend and had a free taste of Peter Michael's new Chardonnay (their web
site usually has a freebie offer) as well as a new Washington Cab blend. The
three people who work there are all wine aficionados and have made great
suggestions for wines to match my various menus. I had a bunch of new (to me
anyway) wines a few weeks ago: a Spanish Albarino, an Italian Barbera and an New
Zealand Ice Wine! All were great.
I highly recommend this place. The web site of theirs
is most unusual and very nicely written.
