Wine Merchants Gourmet was founded in 1990 to create a store with an unprecedented wine selection. Over the years we have been instrumental in bringing many of the world’s best wines to the Triad. Today with over 1200 wines in inventory and access to over 12,000 wines we are the leading source for estate-bottled wines.

Our staff is the most knowledgeable and friendly with over 60 years of combined wine industry experience. Most of the wines we sell are from smaller producers, family owned wineries, or are smaller production wines, as the best wines almost always are. Each year, we taste thousands of wines, seeking out and finding the thousands of selections with the best flavors and “bang for the buck” that we offer our customers.

We bring these great wines to you to taste for yourself at our frequent events. With our case discount program and special event discounts, we always offer our customers the lowest pricing we can.

Additionally we offer educational classes, wine and specialty beer tastings, gourmet food tastings and winemaker dinners. Our store offers a full range of gourmet products including specialty foods, microbrew and specialty beers from all over the world, accessories and glassware, and the Triad’s largest selection of artisan and farmstead cheeses. Our gift basket center makes it easy to create great gourmet gifts for holidays or special occasions.

Our retail facility transforms into classroom, meeting room, or private party space for any occasion. The ambience of dining in the Triad’s largest Wine Dining Room is truly a special event.

Come experience for yourself a truly unique store for the good life.
