Getting into wine as I get a little older / financially secure (and as i travel to more wine regions). Share some favorite spots and ask for others. Open to both great wine bars /Cafes and stores

Currently love Larakin, 3 parks O4W (heading there this afternoon), vinoteca, hop city (honestly good tastings), and Wahoo Wine. Macs for a decent store. Obviously these are all in similar parts of the city - does this group have any recs?

Have you been to Lucian Books and Wine? it's a great spot if you're looking for something a little more upscale, they have a full menu too! But you could also just get away with having a glass or two. One of my favorite spots in the city!

Sherlock’s Wine Merchant in Buckhead is my favorite store… a little nicer than Mac’s or Ansley, specialize in Wine, and their staff is very good at translating wants into recommendations (“I’m looking for a red that pairs well with steak,” “I’m looking for a white that I can drink on the porch in the summer,” etc.)

Larger stores with less personal service… Towers in midtown has a massive selection, as does Total Wine near Cumberland

I agree on Sherlocks, that is one of my favorite places to buy wine from.

Awesome, thank you all! Hope to see you all there, lmk if you ever go
