My father, who is overweight, bought some candy from the stand in the Public Market. After we purchased the candy, we walked over to Thiefs Wine to purchase a couple of bottles before we went to our lake house in White Fish Bay. When we walked over to Thiefs Wine-- a place Ive gone for two years, and a place that Ive given more than enough money to, especially at my age-- one of the employees looked at my father with utter disgust, clearly referencing to his weight and him eating candy. The employee was Aimee Murphy, who is listed as co-owner and director of operations at Thief Wine. When we got to the register, Aimee did not make eye contact with neither my father or I. She didnt say "Hi!", didnt ask for assistance, and didnt even acknowledge the fact we were there. The only thing she acknowledged was my obese father and how disgusted she was. About 2 minutes later, she did the exact same thing WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY THERE. It was utterly shameful. Did not even acknowledge us, but rather acted like an upset teenage girl who had to go into work on Sunday morning. Luckily, my father did not notice, but this was taken notice by my brother, my mother, and I. Little does Aimee know that I had a brother pass away in 2014 via a drunk driver. My father, who was obviously hurt, just as my whole family was, then gained weight because he was depressed, lonely, and numb over the loss of his child, my brother. Some people deal with it in different ways, and my father dealt with it that way. For Aimee to act the way she did in HER BUSINESS is completely uncalled for and unacceptable. Our family planned to have a nice day at the lake, but this really put a damper on our day because it brought up tough times weve had to go through. I cannot believe Ive been going to her shop this long with the way she acted today-- I am completely and utterly disgusted and sick to my stomach. Simply said, I will never be back, and I will tell everybody I know about Aimee and my experience today.

The owner and entire staff is fantastic - always helpful, never pretentious, and a great selection! The bar is an awesome place to meet up with friends and enjoy some amazing wines, while the shop always has a great selection with great prices.

If you are looking to buy a gift bottle of wine... this should be your 1st and only stop! I drink wine, but I feel lost trying to buy it as a gift, so I always go here. The staff are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

I stopped just to browse, but walked out with a couple of bottles of wine. This place is great. They have a wonderful selection, and they are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! I will be back!

Get beer from here a lot. They have a small, but good selection. The prices are a little bit higher than they should be, but a great, friendly place.
