Wine Spots
Bin 905
Bin 905 was established in 1997 to serve Calgary’s growing thirst for premium wines and spirits. Our goal is to provide an enticing environment in which to shop, managed by a friendly and highly knowledgeable staff.
Virtually all of our staff members are either certified sommeliers or sommeliers in training, and the management team travels the world in search of unique and sought-after wines. It’s just one of the reasons the Globe and Mail called us the “best place in Canada to find rare wine.”
