Dorsey Fenner and Rob Campbell created The Wine Guy in 1999, moving to Asheville from Atlanta, where they had been in the wine business for over 15 years as retailer, wholesaler, and restaurant owners. The Wine Guy offers an ever changing, manageable number of wines from around the world, personally tasted and selected for quality and value. You will find terrific alternatives to the factory wines found in grocery stores, as well as limited production wines from the world's top growing regions and wineries. Craft-brewed beers and a nice selection of wine accessories round out the operation.

Personal service is our specialty, and we take the time to learn your preferences so that you will get the most satisfaction from your wine purchase. We offer regularly scheduled wine tastings and classes to increase your knowledge and enjoyment, and work with the area's top restaurants to present incredible wine dinners, as well.

At The Wine Guy, we are happy to answer any wine related questions you may have, and will gladly consult with you on plans for upcoming weddings, banquets, or simple gatherings with friends. Please stop in and let us share some of our discoveries
