About Us

It all began …

when two friends, Dave and Bill,  decided to open a local shop in Pottstown to meet the needs of local brewers and wine makers offering all the ingredients and equipment they could possibly need. They were also tired of the long drive to get their supplies. Being a wood craftsman, Bill designed and built the shop interior. The bar is crafted from two Jack Daniels’ whiskey barrels shipped in from Tennessee and is the highlight of the store. Why have a bar? To offer tastings of the wine and beer the owners and their wives have made. Our tasting bar makes us unique. So come on in, sit a spell and try some of our libations and talk beer and wine all you want …

Well, that was then, this is now … Bill began with one “group barrel” of wine in the fall of 2013 and six years later has 57 barrels full of wines from South Africa, Chile, California, and Italy.  The kegerator is gone (so is the root beer), burners & pots are gone, CO2 tanks & kegerator equipment ~ all the beer supplies & equipment are now gone … bittersweet …

Wine was initially what sparked Bill & Dave in the beginning and wine is what now continues at Weak Knee. Just a “pop & mom” shop at this point, but we maintain our commitment to quality & our relationships with our customers/friends. Please feel welcome to stop by to chat, taste wines, or just to say hello!
