Bay Area-based Bacchus Wine & Spirits Named 2019 Top 100 Retailer By Beverage Dynamics

BAY AREA, Calif. - June 14, 2019 - PRLog -- Bacchus Wine & Spirits (http://www.bacchusws.com/), a specialty full-service retail merchant of fine wines and spirits located near San Francisco Airport (SFO),  announced today that it has been selected as a Top 100 Retailer by Beverage Dynamics, which attracted entries from elite retailers across the country.

Bacchus was chosen from among hundreds of entrants based on its boutique wine labels and exclusive whiskey selection, as well as its knowledgeable and low-key staff. The wine and spirits shop is co-located with Pape Meat Co. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pape-Meat-Co/154256754592750), a specialty butcher and seafood shop known for its house dry-aged beef and as the first retailer on the West Coast certified by the Kobe Beef Association to sell genuine Kobe (Wagyu) beef. The immensely popular neighborhood wine and butcher shop not only attracts chefs and customers from the greater San Francisco Bay Area, but also supplies customers from as far away as Texas and all over Asia.

Winners were honored at a formal banquet at the Beverage Alcohol Retailers Conference in Louisville, KY.

"Bacchus Wine and Pape Meats is the Peninsula's premier, one-stop shop for an unmatched gourmet experience," said Quinton Jay, proprietor of Bacchus Wine & Spirits. "Whether you're picking up some 'Freakishly Large' prawns or a bone-in rib eye from Pape's, we'll recommend a handful of bottles that will pair well with your meal. And you can also grab some of our marinated feta—known as "Millbrae-crack"—hot bread, or other goodies while you're here."

Bacchus appeals to those looking for a great wine at an inexpensive price (their Wine Club Select (http://www.bacchusws.com/wineclub) level starts at just $29/month for a pair of hand-selected wines and Quinton often scores incredible deals on coveted labels), as well as wine aficionados looking for exceptional bottles to cellar. They also carry the Bay Area's largest selection of whiskeys, including hard-to-find Pappy Van Winkle and Yamazaki 25.

Bacchus educates customers with weekly wine tastings, providing detailed information about food pairings, regions, varietals, and tasting notes. In addition, they hold events (http://www.bacchusws.com/event-calendar) ranging from private or corporate parties to multi-course dining experiences such as Wagyu 101, Pork 101 Butcher Demo + Dinner, and its wildly popular Truffle Mushroom dinner.

Bacchus Wine & Spirits also has a strong community presence as a donor and host of events that support local schools in the community.
