This is a wonderful store. It has a huge selection of wines and spirits. The owner, Cory D'Addario, who is almost always there, has tasted and approved (and remembers the taste of) every wine that she sells. She's a friendly, welcoming person who knows her wares like the fingers on her hands.

I've been a client of The Fine Wine Company of Westport for at least 3 years. I typically shy away from writing reviews but I feel compelled to share my experience with this house of unparalleled wine knowledge and unrivaled quality. This is a store to know. Ms Cory, an walking encyclopedia of food & wine and an outstanding cook herself, handpicks the best, most unique selection of wines to pair with whatever her clients have in mind. She has an extensive selection of bio dynamic wines and for those who suffer from migraines triggered by wine, like myself, I can personally attest to having never experienced one after drinking a selection of hers--a testament to the quality of product she carries. Never shying away from a challenge, she welcomes complex flavors. If you venture for the tasting classes, you will be treated with the best tasting food and wine pairing accompanied by a multisensorial lecture enjoyable not only for the storytelling but also for its instruction, filled with knowledge about the food - wine- terroir and the explanation as to how they came to be in existence today. In numerous visits to her store, she has expanded my exposure to different wines and I have a better understanding of food and wine pairing, with attention to temperature, season and occasion. Most importantly, when I don't have a clue, she is always on point and willing to help. I cannot recommend a visit enough--I am sure it will not...

I am so glad I selected The Fine Wine Company of Westport to handle all of this for me. They went above and beyond to provide an exceptional...
