quite a good selection for the average wine geek, prices are competitive. I visit 2-3x/yr, and always leave with a few things.

Peck is wine porn - for all but the 1%. OK too see, I suppose, but I’d rather use the time to visit N’Ombra de Vin.

It’s a near perfect day here today in Chianti Classico.

Hi Marco,

I haven’t specifically tried to hunt down good wine shops on my trips to Venice (I have family there), but those that I have visited have generally been freakishly expensive and preying on the tourist market. One that is well worth a look is Cantine del Vino già Schiavi on Fondamenta Nani just off the Giudecca, perhaps 50 metres along from the San Trevaso gondola building workshop. It’s an enoteca/bar/casual restaurant. A better than average range of wines at fair prices. My only reservation would be that the place can get pretty hot in high summer, so it may be better suited as a place to pick up nice bottles to drink while you are in Venice, rather than to take home with you?

Great place for cicchetti. The prices on Pieropan Soave were attractive. But if it is not air conditioned, just buy for short term consumption
