I have been visiting the Wee Vinoteca for the past few years as a subscription member, and I've attended numerous events led by their knowledgeable staff. Each visit to the shop is not just a shopping trip; it's an enjoyable educational experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere where I never feel intimidated.
