Walking inside the store my eyes are drawn to the walls of wine...a bit overwhelming. BUT then I start to read the descriptions and the very affordable prices and the wines all seem to be making their way into my basket. The guys are easy to talk to and are able to offer some great suggestions! I love how they have records all along the back wall...very hip! I also participated in a zoom tasting with winemakers in Italy tasting 6 wines put on by Enoteca Direct! It was so worth it! I ended up buying all 6 we tasted!

Wine shop with daily wine tasting from a pretty extensive list. The shop features an aisle of "under $25" and even "under $20" bottles, which are decidedly NOT the wines you'd find in the supermarket wine department. The people who run this shop specialize in unusual grapes and locations, but always have an eye on the price/quality ratio, so buy what you can afford and you know it will be very good. They can easily steer you to things that will fit YOUR flavor profile AND your budget. Eight monthly wine clubs too, with monthly zoom and in-person tasting, and tasting kits for the zoom wine tasting. Love this place!

Ryan crushed it! He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about all things wine and always had something off the beaten path to recommend. We enjoy discovering new wines with his guidance. The selection of wine is fantastic for every price point as well. Highly recommend!

We visited back in July of 2020 and I am just barely getting this review up and running. The hubby and I discovered this little hidden gem during the early days of the pandemic. Since gyms were closed, we did a lot of walking and thankfully so, bc we wouldn’t have discovered Enoteca Direct. We first visited to pick up a few bottles of wine, then became wine members shortly after. Then on a warm summer evening, we did an impromptu wine tasting. We had the pleasure working with Ryan; he was knowledgeable and educated us on all kinds of stuff. The wine club is great bc they have so many options and it’s so affordable. We are currently doing two bottles a month of just ITALIAN wine and I believe the cost is either $30 or $35. We have never had a pickup that has failed us. If you get a chance, stop by and do a wine tasting, then pick up some wine. I love the location too bc it’s not overly busy like the downtown area. I will definitely be back and SOON!

I’ve enjoyed every single experience at Enoteca! Whether I’m just stopping by to pick up a bottle to bring to a party, or a more leisurely tasting experience… the service there has been nothing short of spectacular. In particular, Ryan is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful persons I have ever encountered. This is a great store, and we are lucky it’s right here in Los Gatos!!

Enthusiastic, approachable and knowledgeable staff will take care of you whether that's finding a perfect pairing for a special meal or a crowd pleasing selection for parties or large events. I love the variety of options and price points. There really is something for everyone here!

This gem is a great addition to downtown Los Gatos. Besides their great selection and price points, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable with no attitude. I brought my niece who is just starting her wine journey in one rainy afternoon. She had an amazing tasting session with really solid useful lessons about how to taste, how to figure out what you like, and how to tune out all the noise about what is right and wrong since it is really about what you like full stop! Great music to boot :-)

The wine : 5/5 The staff: 5/5 The diversity of selection: 5/5 The vibe : 5/5 Ability to find something delicious at a great price: 5/5 Just everything about this place is great. The have diverse selection for good every day wines, and kind also find unique orange/natural/organic wines. Plus all at reasonable price ranges from 15-30 for everyday or 50 for something special that is really a 8-9/10 wine Can only whole heartedly recommend this place.

This place is wonderful. The wines are delicious, at any price point. Whatever your price point is. The staff is awesome, friendly and will help you find what you need. And the tunes are plentiful and always great. Our go-to for wine!

Love these guys. I walk in and tell them what’s for dinner. They magically pull a bottle or two. When I get home, I’m a hero. Sure, if you wanna splurge, they can set you up. Or you can shop the center idle. They’ll surprise you with a better bottle than than the price suggests. Ryan is a the greatest. Give that man a raise.

I recently had the pleasure of stopping by this charming establishment right after my regular walk in the park, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. I decided to explore their wine selection and was warmly greeted by the owner, Ryan (I hope I got his name right). Feeling like it was a white wine kind of day, I opted for a tasting of three European wines. My choices included the '22 Chardonnay from Domaine Givot-Goisot, Chablis, France, the Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Sautereau,Sancerre, France, and the '18 Promara, Tsiakkas, Cyprus. To my delight, the owner also offered me a sample of the '20 Chardonnay from Domaine Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I must say, I was truly captivated by the Cyprus wine; it was wonderfully light and creamy. This store is a gem for wine enthusiasts, with a diverse selection from all around the world. It's now my go-to place for discovering excellent wines beyond the borders of California. Thank you for the delightful experience!

I have been a loyal customer of Enoteca Direct since it first opened, and prior to that, I frequented Enoteca La Storia in Los Gatos. Both establishments have provided me with a wonderful sense of home, fantastic food, and impeccable service. Over the years, I have tried a vast array of wines from all around the globe, and I have always been impressed with the vast knowledge and exceptional customer service of the Enoteca team. They have consistently helped me find new and exciting wines to add to my collection, and I am constantly impressed by their enthusiasm for sharing their love of wine. If you are a wine lover, I highly recommend paying Enoteca Direct a visit. Not only will you be greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, but you will also have the opportunity to taste unique and delicious wines at unbeatable prices. The team at Enoteca Direct truly cares about their customers and their craft, and I have no doubt that they will continue to succeed and grow for years to come. Thank you, Ryan, Joe, Mike, and the rest of the Enoteca team for all that you do!

Enoteca is our go-to wine shop. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to help with expert advice and a smile. Their wine selection is fantastic, with many affordable and delicious wines. It is definitely worth an extra stop!

This is my new favorite wine shop! So friendly, helpful, and personable with GREAT recommendations. Totally different experience than a big box wine store and excellent selection in every price range. Highly recommend.

Enoteca Direct has a selection of outstanding and hard-to-get domestic and especially international wines. They seem to focus on lesser known wine regions, such as Sicily or Croatia. The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Their regular wine tastings (in- and out-door) with interesting themes are fun and very educational. This is clearly my favorite wine shop in the Bay Area.

Wonderful wine store/bar. Ryan and the team are super thoughtful, funny, engaging and knowledgeable. If you create an account, they'll make notes about what you have and haven't liked in the past to make sure they can give curated, personalized recommendations. There's a great selection from high-end wines to super delicious high-value wines that won't break the bank. Can't recommend this place enough. :)

Can't say enough good things about Enoteca Direct! The guys who work here are top notch, super friendly, and make buying wine very approachable. My wife and I are not wine snobs but we know enough about wine to be able to purchase intelligently most days but the owners and employees here help us take our purchases to the next level. They have a great selection from all over and always make wonderful new recommendations from regions we've never tried. Lastly, their online ordering is a cinch and they can always look back and see your past orders and get recommendations for new wines based on how that went. Love that they are right in my neighborhood! Prices are also SUPER reasonable! If you're looking for great wine this is your spot!

In a world of "more of the same" Enoteca Direct is refreshingly different and interesting. Unlike most wine shops that carry the same brands (usually wines that used to be great, niche wineries that have since been bought out by some conglomerate) this place carries up and coming domestic winemakers and smaller international houses - all of which the owners seem to know personally and have a crazy story about. Unpretentious, many of the wines come in below $50, many below $25 and if you can get over your wine-snobbery there are some incredible bottles of wine here to be had. The staff is friendly and quick to pour you something interesting to taste if you have the time and inclination. We've fallen in love with this place and I buy all of our event wines for work as they are so good at recommending good bottles. Highly, highly recommend.

I truly love my wine club at Enoteca Direct. My friends and I enjoy tastings on the patio. Ryan has unique, often personal stories and detailed tasting notes for the wines, He makes the tasting an experience and is welcoming to all including our 4-legged family members. Don’t miss out on the best secret in town!

As a longtime customer of Enoteca la Storia I was thrilled that the owners now have a dedicated bottle shop. This was my first stop when searching for a specific bottle during my WSET studies. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, no wine snobs here. The tastiings held on the patio are a great value and a wonderful way to broaden your horizons and learn about some new wine regions. Truly a gem in a sea of big name box stores.

Love Enoteca Direct. The variety of wines at varying price points as well as the expertise of the staff is what keeps me coming back. Ryan is always equally willing to show me to the pizza wine or the celebrate a special occasion wine. The staff remembers what I like and offers suggestions to other similar wines to provide variety. So happy to have Enoteca Direct in Los Gatos.

We love, love, love Enoteca and Enoteca Direct. We’ve been members for over a year now. Mike, Joe and Ryan are wonderful people and great business owners who truly care about connecting with their patrons. The staff at Enoteca LG is just as wonderful. We’ve made wonderful friendships with this team over the past year and will continue to come here for years to come. Best champagne, best service, great Burrata and an overall perfect dining out experience.

Enoteca is a wonderful wine shop. The staff is always eager to help, recommend, and educate wine enthusiasts like myself. I’ve attended some of their special tasting events and learned so much about wines from Europe, and also found delicious well priced vintages. Just a delightful wine shop and one of my favorites!
