Great Grapes

My wife and I live in Austin and she'll come w/ me to Cary to visit my parents, sis, and her family once/year while I come out quarterly to help my family out. My wife's a Certified Somm. (CMS) and works for an importer/supplier now so I'm alwaus trying to scope out places to take we her to (or avoid) on my visits by myself. Great Grapes is a keeper. Very Knowledgeable help (a friend here lived in Italy and was very gracious with his time too) and I manages to strike gold on 2 finds that won't break the bank but are simply those lucky price point flavor profiles you can get for $18-$25/bottle...a real steal! The shop is clean, organized, and has a nice little tasting section--the 2 bottles I walked out with were both a result of the store opening a bottle of each for me to buy a glass, so that's an above and beyond effort--not to make the sale--but since I stated I was just in to try a glass or two, it was simply to see me walk away pleased with my sampling. 5 stars!!! I'll be back with my wife this summer.

Great local bottle shop in Cary. I was in the area and wanted to get wines from some place local, and this was the closest spot.I was looking for some white wines that were not too much on the sweeter side and walked out a happy customer. One of the employees was extremely kind and helpful in suggesting some great budget wines. The wines are divided by their region, so it's easy to shop according to that.They have a large selection of both reds and whites and they also had some great discounts on a lot of wines. There's parking right outside the store, and also ample parking in the area where the store is located. I look forward to going back whenever I am in the area next.

Small, local, well stocked shop. This is the ONLY place in NC I can find my favorite wine because it's produced in NJ. I like to order mine online so I can make sure they have it in stock. The staff seem very informal and down to earth. I recommend checking out the store and getting something new you've never tried!

Such a cute wine store!! Boyfriend and I were in the area visiting The Butcher's Market and decided to stop in since we needed a wine to pair with dinner. We picked up 3 bottles of wine since you get an extra discount for purchasing 3. They also have a small craft beer selection. Staff is both friendly and extremely knowledgable!Plus, they have a parakeet in the store.My personal recommendation if you enjoy a nice red wine, try the 2013 Petite Petit!

Great Grapes is a cute locally-owned wine and beer shop in Saltbox Village. I came here once just to browse and the gentleman working there gave me fantastic wine recommendations based on what I liked. His advice was spot-on and the wine he recommended was exactly what I wanted. There is a nice selection of unique wines and also the popular ones you can get in the grocery store. Sign up for their email list because they will notify you of sales. There are parakeets chirping in the middle of the shop and then there is also a craft beer selection. The staff is really knowledgable and friendly. Stop by for some wine and then hit up the Sugarbuzz cafe next door for dessert.

Great Grapes is located off of Kildaire Farm, and after today's visit I plan to incorporate them into my weekly Whole Foods/Trader Joes shopping ritual. They carry a vast selection of excellent wines, both foreign and domestic, each displayed with deeply informative tasting notes. They also carry a phenomenal selection of champagnes and sparkling wines, and hard-to-find bottled beers. The biggest sell for me was the impressive selection of organic wines they carry, this is my new thing when it comes to wine and the proprietors clearly have encyclopedic knowledge on the subject.

Very helpful and courteous .

If you're looking for "Total Wine" then don't come here. Out and about with my bride, heading for the Meat House and we came acroos this unpretentious small unique wine shop. Both wine and beer selections are good. Prices are competitive and the explanations between "good" and "wow" when describing the wines are spot on. Looking forward to a return visit.

Phenomenal service. This place is a definite gem. I hate we haven't been in before! Make sure to try out their free wine tastings on Fridays and Saturdays! It gives you a good idea of what you like and helps you figure out what to purchase.

Great peeps as they all are knowledgeable & friendly Great wine, beer & more selections. Great location.Great tasting area and browsing space.Highly recommend over any of the many 'walmart' variety wine shops!Here you'll find people who help you learn your palette and provide excellent recommendations for wines you'll love in your price range.Give em a try!
