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...

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