2A Wine Merchants — Restaurant in Milwaukee

2A is the premier wine merchant and tasting shop in Milwaukee but also in the entire state of Wisconsin.

I was blessed to live within two blocks of 2A for a few years while living in the third ward. 2A has the most knowledgeable wine merchants in all of Wisconsin. One of the main reasons why this stands true is they will tell you “if anyone ever tells you they know everything about wine, run in the opposite direction.” Rob runs an absolutely awesome shop and ensures that all his employees are armed with the knowledge and experience to ensure your wine journey ends exactly as intended.

I recently was lucky enough to experience a private tasting with my wife held by Jen, the General Manager of 2A Wine Merchants. Jen made sure to include wines that she felt my wife would enjoy based on recommendations she had asked for via email weeks before the tasting itself.

We had a great evening with Nick as our wine educator tasting 5 different wines from all over -Italy, France, Spain & USA. We started with a sparkling Prosecco and ended with a dark Syrah. Nick shared stories from each of the small vineyards where they handpicked the grapes and we could taste the love they put into each bottle! We bought a crisp white from Spain and a scrumptious French red. This was our second time here, both times, tasting wines at 2A Wine Merchants have been a highlight of our Milwaukee trip....

I recently visited 2A and was blown away by their space. I ended up hosting a wine-pairing event there, and the staff was terrific. I can't thank Jen and her team enough for being helpful and accommodating. If you're looking for a cozy and intimate venue to host an event or just a place to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, 2A is the spot to check out.
