Wine Authorities

I thoroughly enjoyed a spot. They are reasonably priced.Everything is categorized so it's easy to find things.2 days a week they have wine tastings, it looks like it's Tuesdays and Saturdays for now. So make sure you get there when you can. When you do the wine tastings you get to sit down (a very very small bar) and the bartender tells you all bout the wines. I had better conversations with the other patrons though! We had a good time!They have wine and cheese to go along with it so you can shop for that too. Super nice and super friendly, got greeted immediately and asked what could we do to help you, I thought that was really nice. Customer service, top tier.Along with the cheese app charcuterie and other type of meats. Not a grand section but enough. The have everything you need to be paired with the wine. They also have a bunch of beer in a front of the store so you can do beer if you don't feel like going wine. There are a few coolers, so you have options.They have people that are very knowledgeable and they told history on the different types of lines that really match what goes on on the walls because they have maps of different areas of wine regions on the walls. It's really educational too.If I lived in the area, this could be my go to for wine!

This wine store has a fantastic selection! It is reasonably priced and is sectioned off by region. The staff members were both knowledgeable and helpful with making wine recommendations and helped us to decide on a few bottles. We also had a few pours of wine from the self pour wall. I am looking forward to returning soon.

Great store!!! And great little wine bar. The selection is primarily small vineyards across various EU regions. Prices are between $15-$30 per bottle. Many choices, and many new entrepreneurial vineries. The team is knowledgeable and happy to help. It is the sister store to the one in Duhram it seems. Not associated with the national chain. They have a small charcuterie offering and wine by the glass for those who want to try the highlighted wines for the week and have a few bistro tables to hang. It's week. Hope you enjoy... and learn something about wine from every region in the EU... ok Ok not every region. They don't have luxemburger wine, Greek wine or Georgian wine (not EU), etc. But they have a great selection. My fav wine store in area.

GOLD MINE haha this unsuspecting place in an unexpected location is awesome. Its not often you see a wine shop with their own taps and barrels; or a patio, for that matter. While the patio does lack a view, its quiet and offers shade. Super nice staff, large selection and affordable prices here, too. It's super cool that you can get something by the glass and sit on the patio while you drink it. They also have a deli/cheese case that is kept cool with super quality goods. If I lived in Raleigh, I'd come here every weekend, just to sit on the super simple patio and drink a super cheap (6$) pour and pick up some for the house!

This is my favorite wine shop. I realized the other day that I've been here so many times, but haven't written a review yet. There are so many good things about this wine shop that I'm not quite sure where to start. I love that they have a small covered patio area outside (3-4 patio tables). They also have the folding glass front doors to open up when it's nice outside. When you enter the shop there is a cold case immediately when you enter that contains cold beer, wine, and sake. They have the wine machines that you can purchase a prepaid card and get a tasting or a glass of wine. There are about 12 red wines and 6 whites/roses. They also usually have a red, white, and rose on tap that you can get from the bar, as well as a few local beers on tap. I usually grab a glass of wine while browsing. I have enjoyed many quite afternoons here with a glass of wine and reading a book or working. They also have one of my favorite cheese plates in Raleigh. I highly recommend it. They are very unassuming about wine. This is one of the few wine shops that I don't feel intimidated or snubbed by the staff. They are very helpful regardless of your prior knowledge or price range. As a tip, they usually have seasonal 6 packs that contain a variety of reds, whites, and roses. I've found these are great for parties or get togethers, as there is a little of something for everyone. I could go on for a while, so in short, I love this wine shop and recommend stopping here.

This is my happy place. Well one of them. Their wine selection is incredible. There are so many options. So many. They have isles of wine. Need I say more? They also have a cold case when you just don't have time to chill your wine. Back to their selection. They group their wines by country versus grape or wine type, which I love because you can learn about the origins of the wine. They have all kinds of wine! You name it, they have it, and they have things you never knew existed. My favorite thing is the owners travel the world looking for the perfect wines. And you will find wines here that you can't find anywhere else in the US! Each wine has an entire postcard dedicated to telling you about the wine. It's so insightful and helpful. Most places you don't know what to expect from a wine and this place gives you all the info you could need before buying. I get so frustrated at other place now having to just guess if I haven't bought it before. If the postcard doesn't tell you enough you can ask their extremely knowledgeable staff you won't be lead astray. Other bonuses about Wine Authorities:They have wine on tap! It comes out of a very fancy aerator machine and it's self serve. So go in and try wine before you buy a whole bottle. They have a cheese case. So, yeah. This store is dreams. They sell wine accessories such as wine corks and bottle openers.

Lovely find and we will be back again. Goat cheese was our choice and our server did a great job coming up with the choices

From the moment I walked in, the staff was not only rude bu they also seemed to be on some sort of power trip. They whispered amongst themselves while blatantly ignoring customers, creating an incredibly unwelcoming atmosphere. Any attempt to interact with the staff help was met with dismissive attitudes and condescension.It's clear that the employees here think very highly of themselves but have no interest in actually assisting customers. I will not be returning and strongly advise others to go down the street to the much superior (and FRIENDLY) Raleigh Wine Shop.

An Outstanding selection of Italian wines that are delicious and quite reasonable There are also remarkable wines from around the globe. Cheese too Nice folks !!
