It's hard to find a better place in Henderson for boutique booze than Khoury's Fine Wine & Spirits. The shop underwent a dramatic renovation last year, opening up room for not only display racks, but expanded seating, where any bottle in the store can be opened for a flat $5 corkage fee. There's a clear enthusiasm for natural, low-intervention wines, prominently displayed near the front entrance. The selection features small European producers from France, Germany and Austria, as well as US regions like California, Oregon and Washington. The idea is to encourage conversation with staff members who make a point to study up on this stuff and provide recommendations based on customer preferences. Khoury's also hosts in-store tastings and occasionally has a natural wine featured behind the counter of the in-house bar, which also offers a good selection of craft beers. Owner Khoury Issa sees the emerging presence of low-intervention wines as a logical progression from the organic wine boom of a few years ago and is always on the lookout for new brands and styles. A temperature-controlled "wine cellar" exhibits higher-end boutique wines.
How to order: Khoury's is open seven days a week with food trucks by the patio during afternoons and/or evenings. Call 702-435-9463 with any questions or special orders.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if Khoury's is more about beer or wine, but fortunately, you don't have to choose. The business, founded by Issa Khoury, started out as a relatively routine liquor store, but pulled back on more common spirits and mainstream brands to further emphasize craft beers and interesting wines (although a few familiar labels remain on display at a fair price). The stellar rotating selection of low-intervention vino is on a pair of shelves around the corner from the main entrance (and identified on the regular racks with white stickers). Enjoy a bottle in house without a corkage fee to worry about. There's also a bar ready to serve one of at least a dozen wines by the glass and 20 draft beers. The outdoor patio gets busy, especially when a food truck is outside—usually on weekends. Yet there's never a bad time to visit and stock up. Khoury's has frequent tastings and other special events, sometimes to celebrate its own collaboration projects. Stay up to date by checking the online calendar.
How to order: Just show up. Call 702-435-9463 for questions or special requests.
