About Me
Vintage Wine Merchants

I feel fortunate to have tasted the finest wines from around the world over the last 20 years and pride myself in using those experiences to ensure we are providing our customers at Vintage Wine Merchants with the broadest and best selection of wines. We are a rare combination of a beautiful, upscale store and competitive pricing, so why shop in a warehouse or abandoned garage when you can enjoy a glass of wine from our wine bar and browse our extensive selection of the best wines in the world.

Brent and the team at Vintage have the gift of hospitality! No matter how busy they are you feel welcome and encouraged to relax, enjoy the fantastic wine selection paired with some wonderful cheeses and friendly atmosphere.
If you are looking for a local favorite or something exotic, the wine selection is first rate and if they do not have you are looking for they will find it.
When you are at Santana Row stop in before dinner or the movie.

Brent is a fabulous host, who pays great attention to detail and the individual preferences of his patrons.

Brent is very careful not to push ones pallet too far beyond their personal comfort zones, while still recommending and introducing us all to a broader and more diverse delights, as well as what dining accompaniments are best suited to the wines he recommends.

For those of us who are more adventurous, Brent is happy to throw the doors wide open and challenge our senses with his selections. I personally have never been dissatisfied with his recommendation, although I do have my favorites that I keep coming back for, recommending to my friends, and buying as gifts for those that I love and appreciate.

i like aged wines and when i got to know Brent, i was skeptical at first but have come to appreciate his depth and his no-nonsense attitude to wines. he does not push "expensive" wines but gets to know your tastes and recommends the best value.

Brent is a great guy to buy wine from! If you are into high end wines, he has extensive knowledge and access to well known and boutique wines. If you are into wine value, he is very good at matching your desired price with the attributes that you enjoy. Their shop LOOKS very expensive. It is not. Their prices are the same or better than what you can find most anywhere else. Go see Brent at Vintage Wine Merchants in Santana Row.
