Back to the Bottle: Wally’s Roots in Rare Wine

Published on: 4/7/2025

Before the gourmet boards, iconic restaurants, and curated spirits, there was wine. Rare, coveted, world-class wine. That’s where it all began for us. At Wally’s, retail wine isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy. And now, we’re going back to our roots to remind the world why wine will always be at the heart of what we do.

From the most prestigious Burgundy Grand Crus to cult favorites from Napa Valley, Wally’s has long been a destination for collectors, sommeliers, and wine lovers searching for that one extraordinary bottle. Today, we continue that tradition with a selection that’s not just extensive—it’s exceptional.

What Sets Wally’s Apart

Wally’s is more than just a retailer—we’re a trusted source for some of the most allocated and sought-after wines on the planet. Our deep relationships with winemakers, distributors, and domaines around the world allow us to secure bottles you won’t find anywhere else.

Whether it’s Screaming Eagle, DRC, or a first-growth Bordeaux, Wally’s gives you access to wine with pedigree, provenance, and personality. And we don’t just carry the legends. We’re constantly exploring the up-and-comers, the small-batch producers, and the under-the-radar regions that deserve a spot on your table.

The Joy of the Hunt

There’s something electric about discovering a bottle you didn’t know you needed. At Wally’s, our wine program is built around that thrill. Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, our goal is to make the process personal, rewarding, and fun.

Our Wine Collection is curated with the intention of offering something for everyone—from daily drinkers to celebration-worthy showstoppers. Looking for a 100-point Cab? We’ve got it. Want a natural Pinot Noir from Oregon with serious soul? We’ll point you to a winemaker we love.

“We built this collection to reflect the best of what’s out there—not just what’s popular, but what’s meaningful,” says a Wally’s Wine Buyer. “It’s about finding bottles that matter.”

Guidance from the Pros

Wine can be intimidating. We get it. But at Wally’s, we’re here to guide you—not lecture you. Our team of sommeliers and wine specialists are passionate, approachable, and ready to help you navigate our extensive selection, whether you’re building a cellar or picking out a hostess gift.

Need to find a Pinot that pairs perfectly with duck confit? Curious about verticals from Brunello producers? We’re your people. Stop by our stores, shoot us a message, or call in and speak with a real expert who cares as much as you do.

Highly Allocated & Rare Wines

Our reputation for rare wine is built on decades of sourcing the most limited allocations in the world. These are the bottles that collectors dream about, that sommeliers envy, and that casual drinkers save for the moment that truly deserves it.

We take pride in offering wines that often never hit the mainstream market. From boutique Champagne houses to legendary Burgundy domaines, we seek out the impossible so you don’t have to.

And when we get them? We share them—with the guests who truly appreciate the story behind the bottle.

Events, Tastings & Education

Want to learn more? Wally’s hosts regular tastings, wine dinners, and in-store events where you can sip, savor, and discover something new. Our team is constantly on the lookout for what’s next in the world of wine—and we love sharing it with our customers.

Join us for an exclusive vertical tasting, a meet-the-winemaker evening, or a crash course in Champagne. Keep an eye on our events calendar or sign up for the Wally’s newsletter to stay in the know.
