Love this little gem. I don’t know jack about wine but good thing that they do! And they do it without any pretentiousness. Every recommendation is spot on and so delicious. The space is very cute and romantic for an outing inside or outside. You can also browse around their amazing wine shop too.
Very nicely done!
As soon as you enter you are actually in the area where all kind of wine is displayed! Definitely not your typical supermarket wine!
The staff are very knowledgeable ans it is best to ask them and let them know what you are looking for.
The second room is so cute and relaxing actually! The decor and atmosphere are just very inviting! They have a menu or you can just purchase a bottle and they can help you get that!
I will definitely come back again whenever I am in the area.
This is a really awesome but very unique wine and bottle shop. You can buy wine to go or stick around and buy it by the glass or bottle. The guys that run the place are very unique and extremely knowledgeable. Don't think twice about asking for their opinions on what to get. They've got pretty good prices and there's an amazing spot out back. Make sure you draw on the tables.
This place is the best. The shop is always exciting with new and exciting stuff all the time.
The indoor bar is an oasis for me - dark, cool, good wine, the music is always great.
I wish it were my house.
For those who know you need sophistication and grit to make the perfect food + wine pairing
CellerMasters Review
Kory (co-owner) always validates, refines, deepens and indulges my eclectic sensibilities for food + wine without didacticism. Though I am very much an amateur home chef with a ton of prerequisites (how I ended up at a minimally processed mostly biodynamic organic wine shop in the first place), Kory takes me seriously and appreciates the magic in the details that I bring to the table.
Every visit to his shop is a short master class in achieving the perfect pairing. I bring him textures (e.g. silkly), moods (e.g. elated), and descriptions of the food, spices, cooking methods. Kory brings me options that somehow embody both the practical & creative sides of making a meal, the expression of community & individualism that come out in a meal, and the simplicity of tasting delicious together when enjoying a meal.
One can only achieve the grace that CellerMasters embodies after practicing, grinding, intelligently failing, reflecting, laughing, dedicating one’s self to a craft, making hard choices and sacrifices. A recommendation I can trust.
Wine knowledge aside, the most pronounced signal for me of their mastery of wine is the continually playing rap music in the shop. This shows me that the founders of CellerMasters are such aficionados of their craft, that they can fully express themselves without permission or pretense. A state of being we all want to achieve in our own way. My easy, meaningful, joyful conversations about pairings amongst rap music has served as inspiration to keep going on my own food + wine journey.
This place is so dreamy. The wine bar feels like your grandmothers basement (very That 70s Show), it’s sooooo cozy and fun. And then there’s the bartenders - you don’t get a menu, you tell them what you’re in the mood for and they give you options to try until you find that perfect glass. For wine enthusiasts this is so fun bc you get to explain the notes or varietals that you like. It’s just so good. Pricing is pretty standard IMO - I had 3 glasses of wine and my bill was $30. And of course there’s also their amazing wine shop as well which is so fun to go through and look to discover fun new wines (or to purchase a wine you feel in love with at the bar). Seriously, go here. I can’t recommend it enough!
First time there, I didn’t know what to expect. The outside of the building is not impressive, good or bad. When I stepped through the door, I was very much impressed with the vast selection of bottles and the cute and comfortable lounges.
I don’t remember the persons name that served us, but he selected for me, my now favorite white wine, a 2019 Macon Villages. I bought 2. After looking through the internet to see if I could get a better price, the less expensive was only $3 less without the shipping so CellarMasters is well priced.
BEST wine shop. Love the owners - they always help me pick out the best bottles. Love the atmosphere - comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Love the unpretentious high quality wine experience. <3
Hands down the best wine bar/shop in town ....any town, actually. Have yet to encounter a place with such a chill, casual, comfortable vibe run by people with such deep, deep knowledge of the grapes. Their palates and personalities make it one of the best visits in St. Pete.
