The Beginning
Preface is a wine store by day and a wine bar by night, in Delray Beach. We buy what we'd want to drink — bottles from famous estates and from small producers nobody's heard of yet — and we're happy to tell you why we picked each one. Every wine here has a story, and the story is usually the best part.
Nothing too fancy. Browse the shelf, take a bottle home, or have us open it here. Sit as long as you like. We're always pouring tasting flights to help you find your next bottle.
We host events worth coming in for, and our wine club is a way to learn a little about wine while sharing it with great people. A small room, good conversation, and a few people who love this as much as we do.
Featured events
New events will be announced soon.
We don't have the longest list in town, and we don't want one. Every bottle here is one we chose on purpose, and every glass is a chance to find something you didn't know you liked.
