Wine stores in Atlanta

[dananne]

The shops I frequent are:

Sherlocks -- on Northside Dr. near the intersection of W. Paces Ferry in Buckhead -- www.sherlocks.com -- a more upscale shop

Tower Wine & Spirits -- on Piedmont in Buckhead -- very large selection and good prices

d'Vine Wine Bar & Shoppe -- a new wine bar/shop in Dunwoody on Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. -- www.atlatawinebar.com -- small, but some nice finds in the $8 - $15 range

Ansley Wine Merchants -- On Monroe Dr. in Midtown -- not a huge selection, but nice at both the lower and higher price points (have not gone there as much lately, though, as I had a few problems with corked wines)

I also occasionally wine shop at Whole Foods, World Market, and at the DeKalb Farmer's Market -- good, less expensive selections at each place for everyday dinking-type wines.

If you need more specific directions to any of these, let me know -- I don't know how familiar you are with Atlanta.

I'll get back to you in the next day or two on the wine classes thing -- there are both classes and regular tastings that you may be interested in trying.
