Owner and Certified Sommelier Mel Guse
Gist Wine Shop is all about the wine experience. Owner and certified sommelier Mel Guse has dedicated her life’s work to learning and sharing darn good wine. What started as a “fermentation bar” in Minneapolis that received many awards, including one of the best bars in the US in 2018 by Esquire magazine, Gist (meaning simple; the essence) has lit up the wine scene in Sioux Falls.
A dedicated boutique wine shop, Gist focuses on more naturally produced or minimal-intervention style wines where the entire production, from how the land was farmed to how the wine was made, truly matters.
Pairing experience with expertise, the team at Gist will guide you through their unique selections. Whether you are on your own or in the company of friends, you’ll get the feeling that the “gist” of life is to enjoy and delight in each and every day, which is the mission of this little shop. In addition, Gist hosts a number of wine tastings and classes designed to create a fun and thriving wine community for experiences that you “gist” won’t forget.
