Wine Republic · Șciusev

Wine shop and wine bar on Alexei Șciusev street, open daily into the evening, and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. The reviews say the same thing in different ways: what matters here is the people and the selection. The place specialises in small wineries, and the owner is described by several guests as having deep knowledge of Moldovan wineries and as proposing to each person exactly what suits them. One guest calls him a brilliant storyteller who knows everything there is to know about Moldovan wine and says they have never been disappointed. Another describes the place as the meeting point of wine lovers: after work, after a dinner, at the weekend, or simply to pick up a bottle on the way home. The space is small, but the reviews say people find room, from inside out to the pavement. The staff speak English.
