Come in and taste wine! We have a great selection including ports, champagnes and dessert wines. Celebrate any occasion—date nights, birthdays, or anniversaries with a tasting, flight, glass, or bottle. All of our bottles are available to drink at the White Buffalo for a small corking fee, or take that great bottle home with you! Whether you’re looking for an everyday drinking wine, stocking up the cellar, or bringing a bottle to a dinner party, we’ll help you choose the perfect wine for the occasion. We'll often even pour you a swill or two to try for yourself - so you'll know for sure whether or not you like it.

We live in a perfect setting to explore and discover the best qualities of wine. Make your first stop your local wine shop!  We also have regional micro-brews on tap! Come enjoy our relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic chocolates, and a great menu for pairing with wine. We also have picnic and gift baskets, and wine accessories. You may come in a stranger, but you will leave with new friends! At the Buffalo, you don’t have to be a connoisseur to enjoy a glass of wine. (But don’t be surprised if you become one.) Instead, we invite you to simply taste and enjoy. Start your evening with a glass from our tasting board and shared plates of bistro fare. Our comfortable and charming space is the perfect place to relax with others or just escape with a glass of fine wine. Our wine experts are always available to educate you about wine, and demonstrate wine tasting techniques. We will also try to order any of your favorite wines for you by the bottle or case. If you are a wine club member we offer 10% off on cases and special orders.
