It’s never a good idea to judge things by their outside appearance,
this however is not the case with Seaboard Wine.
It’s remarkably beautiful store front matches the kindness
and charm of what you’ll find inside; a friendly staff and a cozy wonderful environment
filled with over 2000 (!) different wines and of course one of the city’s best
Sake selections.
They’re also the cities longest running independent wine
store, they’re celebrating their 16th year of operation.
Let’s get to the Sake!
They keep a nice selection representing a good variety of types, grades,
regions, and flavor profiles. The
selection changes every couple of months so it's always fun to stop in and see what’s in
stock.

(a few recommendations from this current selection: the Sparkling Diaginjo, Bride of The Fox, Snow Shadow, One Cup, Coy, Diving Droplets)
What really sets them apart however is their quality of customer
service and willingness to put up with my sometimes odd Sake requests for
special order. I've encountered a much different
attitude from especially the big-box wine stores and even some of the other
small independent wine shops were sometimes you can get a sense that while they
may carry some Sake, they really couldn't care less about it much less go
through the task of contacting their suppliers and seeing if they can track
down a special bottle for you.
To Emma and Jenn and the rest of the Seaboard Wine staff,
thanks for always making a Sake customer feel welcome in a wine shop and entertaining our special Sake requests!
