The Wine Guy stocks a diverse selection of wines from around the world, focusing on smaller producers and often lesser-known varietals. We feel that educating the consumer is a vital part of our success as wine merchants.

For that reason, we offer tastings several times a month, providing the opportunity for sampling and comparing the wide array of wine styles and grape varieties available today. The tastings are designed to please both the casual consumer as well as the serious enthusiast.

Wine Dinners are also offered as well, which showcase the talents of local chefs while demonstrating the magic that can be worked with proper food and wine pairings.

Reservations are required for most events, and light hors d'oeuvres are provided at tastings. All tastings are at the 555 Merrimon Avenue location unless otherwise specified. Prepayment may be required for some events.
