Coastal Vino Wine Shop — Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

I live in the neighborhood and I’ve heard multiple complaints about the two men who work at this place. On Thursday, April 20th, 2023, my parents from out of town stopped in this store and said hello as a man was sitting on his computer - stared at them and blatantly ignored them. They then continued to ask if they had any “Josh” wine. One man gave them a dirty look and said, “ we don’t sell store brand wine here.” They said “okay no worries. We are looking for merlo.“ As they were looking at wines this man had the audacity to say “not saying you can’t afford it but our wines start at $40.” This man was talking to my parents as if they were BELOW him. Who runs a business like that? Who talks to their customers that way? We spread the word to our neighbors who are also local and four of them said that’s why we don’t go into that store - the owners there are very rude and have a sour attitude. Would never spend a penny there. THAT IS NO WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. THAT IS NO WAY TO TALK...

David at Coastal Vino is awesome. We stayed at Myrtle Beach State Park in our RV on our way to Florida (great park btw) and needed to stock up on wine. Rather than buy from the big box stores and because we like to drink “off the beaten path” we always seek out local wine shops and tasting rooms. We were not disappointed. David lived in both Spain and Italy and his selections were awesome. One can find great wines from around the world at different price points. If you have time stay and drink a bottle on the tiny patio. He told me that he will be opening up a cheese and charcuterie place next door in a couple of weeks - sad...

As an wine aficionado, I try to avoid the chain stores because it's usually more about making money than the quality of the wine. When I visited Coastal Vino, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. You generally won't find the huge names like Robert Mondavi or Barefoot. What you will find is wines that are hand picked by the owner from vineyards that like to stay under the radar and some that are right next door to the big brands but are not as well known.

If you like wine or even know someone who does, I encourage you to stop in and see for yourself. I'll be returning this week to...
