Hey everyone,

I usually go to Greens on Assembly Street; they have a nice selection and good prices. For a more upscale selection check out the Gourmet Shop in Five Points.

I think the best selection is Total Wine & More on Harbison. I'm not sure if they have another location.

Their store is about twice the size of Green's with an obvious emphasis on Wine. I used to shop at the one in Greenville all the time. They have a fairly large selection of higher end stuff displayed with the "tasting index" numbers from a couple different publications. I got a bottle of Martin Ray Pinot Noir that was 95 on the tasting index, and it was well worth the $40. I don't drink too much wine, and I'm even less likely to throw down that kind of cash on wine, so it was probably the best bottle I've ever had. I really appreciated the recommendation from the staff, which was confirmed by the tasting index publication, and then confirmed by the excelent taste.

World Market in SandHills may also be a location of interest...

Both Greens locations[assembly st, and piney grove rd]...Total Beer and Wine on Harbison...The Gourmet Shop in 5 pts on Saluda Ave...& Morganelli's Liquor and Wines on Forest Dr.

Honorable Mention....Cloud Nine Market on Gervias St [i was suprised they had wine in there].

and WineStyles on Garners Ferry....i can't say i've ever been in there, but i know they are a franchise and have like 100 locations nationwide...

^ I forgot about Cloud Nine; I go there more for the chocolate than for the wine, though. <EG>

While I shop at Greenes more because it's on the way home Total Wines on Harbison is awesome. Fantastic variety and great prices. You can't beat it. I go there to stock up every few months. Yeah, I can't live without my glass every night.

Also try Gervais and Vine in the Vista. They have an amazing assortment of wines by the glass or bottle.

Don't forget Sam's in Lexington on Sunset Blvd (across from Target). They have a large wine selection (about 2/3s the size of Greens), probably more beers than Green's and very competitive prices on all their products.
