The wines of the world in one shop

- / Carlos F. Ebo, USJ-R Masscom Intern

Looking for a quality wine store to pick up a favorite bottle of red, white wine or champagne?

Whether one is hosting a special occasion or an intimate dinner, there’s often no time to do research on the infinite number of wine labels or even worse, ask random grocery personnel to suggest the right bottle. Instead, try a wine store for a change, where one will find not only a great selection of labels but also outstandin­g customer service.

Opened by Gordon Alan “Dondi” Joseph and his wife Corinne in December 2003, D+B Wine Shop has become a friendly neighborho­od wine hub focusing on affordable wines with spectacula­r quality. This wine shop has over 400 wines on its shelves which is unbeatable in Cebu with a wine list of over 770 labels from all over the world.

D+B exclusivel­y carries internatio­nally-acclaimed wines and is also the exclusive distributo­r of 98 percent of the wine items it carries. In-fact, D+B wine shop has been recognized by SunStar’s Best of Cebu 2016 for having the “Best Wine Selection.”

According to Dondi, there are simply three things that make D+B standc out as a wine shop: It has more wines in its shelves than any other wine hub in the city. All the people that are working in the shop know their wines which makes it easy for those short on time, knowledge or both, and it sells a curated selection of wines.

Dondi also adds that they have monthly deliveries of wine and do wine tastings every month to ensure the quality and the variety of wines the shop puts in its wine cellars for the Cebuanos.

D+B wine shop is located at The Crossroads, Gov. M. Cuenco Ave., Banilad, Cebu City.
