This is a wonderful locally owned wine shop. I've only been a handful of times, but every time I've visited I've been thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and helpfulness of the people working there. I know very little about wine and am also pretty cheap, but the staff has always helped me pick interesting and reasonably priced wine. They really know their stuff and are able to provide helpful information in a way I can understand. This place is a real gem in south Durham.

Drew is the best! I can email him and ask him to curate a case for me, when I'm not in the mood to shop. I'll tell him what types of wines I'm enjoying at the moment and what price range I'm looking for, and he'll prepare the perfect case and even put it in the trunk of my car when I pull up outside the store. He's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wine. It's the perfect place.

Every business wishes they had service this good. Drew and the rest of his team always greet me when I walk in, let me know they're ready to help if I have questions, and when checking out are warm and friendly. The curated shelves of wine cover all the bases, with excellent options at all price points. This is my go-to place when I need a bottle or two for a nice dinner, to take to a party, or for a gift.

I loved the great selection of wines, and the free wine tasting on Saturday was a nice added bonus. What I found quite blatantly obvious was how poorly my friends and I were treated vs. the other white groups there. It obviously shouldn’t matter how “young” a person looks or if they’re dressed much nicer but we literally got half the amount of tasting per, and when we had finished, I asked if I could try a little more of a particular wine I had enjoyed (which I ended up buying after), the lady literally gave me a hesitant response of, I guess I can give you a little more.... it was so uncomfortable that I honestly prob won’t ever go back to the wine tasting portion if it meant experiencing it this way

We first met Drew at a 'Wine Pairing Dinner' at a local restaurant. Drew knows his wines! He knows the region that a wine came from. They have tastings typically once each week and sometimes more often. We have been testing and purchasing wine from them for many, many years. I have learned a small fraction about wine and freely admit that my knowledge is limited, however, Drew has not steered us wrong. We have enjoyed every bottle that we have purchased and wowed our family at holidays based upon Drew's recommendations. It's an excellent local shop!
