Finding Wine in Atlanta or Wine Clubs OnLine

[Classic]

Thanks for the help !! I live in Marietta and I work in Atlanta, on Piedmont as a matter of fact, so I am very familiar with this area. I have been to that Tower Liquor before, in fact I picked up my cases of prosecco for my wedding toasts there, but it's been a while since I have stopped by there, maybe I will try them again. I have been going to Minks off of Delk road which is on my way home. They have an impressive collection of wines, but so far I have not been very impressed with their helpfulness, especially considering I have been stopping in and buying wine about 3 or 4 times a week lately. I had no idea there was a specialty wine store at Piedmont and Sydney, right down the street from me at work. I will go by there today or tomorrow and check it out. I have been to Sherlocks before and they were ok, just not what I was looking for. I have also been to Whole Foods and they are ok as well, but didn't seem to have any helpful or knowledgeable people. I guess I was kind of hoping to find a small specialty wine store with a large selection (not a liquor store) with people passionate about wine with a lot of knowledge and a fun attitude. Also I have read on the board about wholesalers and importers that people buy from locally in their area and would love to find out if we have something similar in our area. Thanks again for the suggestions, I will definitely check out Wine Gallery and Market and Atlanta Wine Merchants (do you know where they are located exactly off the top of your head, if not, nor worries, I'll look it up)

THANKS !!
