King James is a great visit, and I highly recommend his shop and classes. They carry a wide selection of wines, bubbles and whiskeys. James himself is always up for a good conversation and sharing his knowledge of the product and craft. You will tend to find a wider selection of products that typically are not carried by the big retailers in the area, so you get a much better experience in diversity of offerings. I am more of a whiskey drinker, and I find new things in the shop all the time that I’ve never tried, but glad I did. If you’re seeking a more comprehensive process in selecting a product then you won’t find a better place. They keep a great stock too.
There are very few stores in Arkansas that offer a good variety of European wines. This is one of them! A lot of great wines and recommendations and wonderful customer service!
2.24.21So this place doesn’t JUST have fancy, expensive wine. I stopped over in a rush to grab two bottles on my way to girls night and the chick working was SO informed and helpful and easy to talk to. Two imported wines new to our tastebuds and very affordable. So satisfied with my choices and will def be revisiting.
Use to love going to Macadoodles for wine when I was visiting the NWA area, but theyve not been the same since they had to close their cellars. Searched Google and saw this shop; stopped in and met Wendy and Erin who were both super friendly and knowledgeable. I love stopping in a wine shop that has an unusually large number of wines Ive never seen.
When you meet someone that runs a business driven from passion you get that magical X factor that can’t be replicated in any other way. That’s what we found at King James Wine - knowledgeable, friendly service driven by a passion to share so that you go home with the right tipple or if not a bottle a bit more info than what you started with. Brilliant wines and other selections on offer, excellent recommendations and price points that will keep us coming back week on week now we’ve discovered this gem.
Absolutely Love king james wine school, fabulous selection of wines, bourbon, & scotch and a great wealth of knowledge obtained every visit 👑
James has curated a wonderful selection of wine and spirits. Very easy, knowledgeable conversation and guided me perfectly to the style of wines I drink for pleasure. If youre looking to take a trip around the world through a glass of wine you will absolutely find it here.
Best wine shoppe in the region. Not the largest but the knowledge James has is unsurpassed
A low pressure high end shop with a great selection. Not only did I discover new types of great Whiskeys, Bourbons and Ryes, my girlfriend got outstanding recommendations on fine wines. James provides a welcoming no pressure atmosphere, and has a great sense of humor to boot. We look forward to future visits and advise anyone who reads this to give the shop a visit, you’ll not be disappointed.
If you love wine then you want to visit the King James Wine School. James has a very deep knowledge and love of wine. He is a great teacher and a great adviser. If you want to develop your wine knowledge then I highly recommend a class. If you just want to enjoy great wine - then go and see him and get James to advise you on what to buy. He is fantastic at matching wines to food.. .and more importantly to your taste! There is no other place like this in NWA!
Very knowledgeable staff, amazing selection of hard to find gems, excellent pricing. Spectacular wine shop by any measure!!!
This is my new place to buy wine. James is super knowledgeable and I dont feel pressured at all. They have GREAT wine specials and offer everything from the high end to the everyday drinkers. I really cant recommend this place enough.
I love this wine store! James knows so much about wine but is also really fun and kind! I really enjoy the wine classes - always informative and entertaining with a great selection! James store is like no other in the area - there are wine that I typically have to order online. Its so refreshing to have this store here!!!
The King James Wine School is amazing. James carries some amazing wines that you can not get anywhere else. on top of all that he has a tone of knowledge on wines. He can help you pick out the perfect bottle for any occasion.Its not all about wine tho, He carries an awesome variety of beers and liquor. some I have only seen at the brewery that make them.
Not your average beer, wine, and spirits store. If youre looking for exceptional customer service and a unique selection you should go to King James Wine School! You will find that James is knowledgeable and more than willing to help find the perfect pairing for your next dinner party or event. If youre interested in increasing your knowledge of wine he offers wine classes!
James is very knowledgeable and passionate about the products he carries. He was very helpful and spent plenty of time with me when picking out some new wines to take back home to try! Would I really enjoyed was the fact that I was able to find some different products that I could not find elsewhere.
I have ha the pleasure of taking classes with James as my instructor through Brightwater. I never thought wine, spirits, or beer would be so important in my career path or just everyday life. With the knowledge of James and his passion towards these topics has turned my outlook completely upside down. His passion and knowledge has opened my eyes and taste for unique and a variety of flavors and what they do for food and just general cultures in our everyday life. Thank you James for all you do and your passion in what you love. I hope you will inspire others as you have inspired me and the future in front of me. I never would have thought for a second of the different varieties and flavors not only they hold but the creations that become by mixing and matching the product.
James King’s new shop is a must visit whether you are a wine lover, someone looking to learn a bit more about wine or just someone who is bored with the selection available at other local stores. James has a broad and interesting selection of wines covering both the americas but also a big selection of much harder to get wines from Europe, Australia and beyond. That plus interesting beers, liquor and wine classes that are hard to beat. And the prices will surprise you. Small independents can sometimes be cheaper too!!
James is a wealth of knowledge and can help you to find great pairings for your special occasion or just for an everyday meal. He gives practical advice You will not be disappointed! Good selection in house.
