Seattle's best wine shop? Not by a long shot. It's a nice little shop and I LOVE Michael's wordy little POP signage (except for those times when he wanders off into some prosey digression) but the selection is waaay too limited to be "Best" in any way. His stock, while fairly well chosen, indicates a couple of aggresive biases toward overpriced Washington boutique wineries and eccentric French stuff. Asking questions is kinda dicey, too. His salespeople tend to smirk at requests for anything not annointed by Pike & Western. I can think of half a dozen shops that offer twice the selection, better sales help, and FAR better prices.
Pros: location, "serious" wine shop, nice layout
Cons: condescending, OVERPRICED, limited selection
