- We strive to offer the customer the best prices available
- We offer the best selection. This does not necessarily mean having more types of wine, but rather, dozens of new wines are tasted each week, and only the ones that represent the best value to the consumer (in taste and price) are sold in our Wine Shops.
- We also have a showcase room, where we offer exclusive fine wines from around the world, including top California wines, the best Bordeaux and Burgundy, and rare Italians, Spanish, and Australian wines. Often, there is only a small quantity of these top-rated wines available, and these are the ones featured in the showcase room.
- Our wine staff is knowledgeable about the wine we sell (see side bar). All of our Wine Shop managers are Certified Wine Experts, having completed the WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) course. Stew's wine buyers have traveled to California, Spain and Italy to learn more about the wines and to find the best values.
