At this point we're all aware of the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene to NC, and community is everything in times like these. So let's show up for our neighbors out west!

This Saturday, October 5th our stores will be donating 10% of all sales to for recovery efforts for areas damaged by Helene in the NC mountains. If customers would like to donate anything, we will be collecting food, money, & other supplies and directing them to our neighbors in Appalachia.

10/01/2024

You can drop off donations to both our Raleigh and Durham locations to support the needs of those affected by Hurricane Helene in Western NC.

A major focus on essentials right now (a full list of most wanted items is posted at each of the stores)- bottled water, clothes, non-perishable food items that don't require heat or electricity, etc.

We’re open until 5pm 👐

It's a boxed wine summerrr ☀️⁠

Let the libations flow like a fountain, all of our 3 liter sized bag-in-box wines are equal to 4 bottles worth of wine at better price than the bottles alone- less recycling and less money? What a deal!⁠

Firstly, YES we are open today & Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! 👋

Secondly, a heads up that in observance of Juneteenth, both our Raleigh and Durham locations will be closed this coming Wednesday. Feel free to shop through our website while you can't come see us in person, orders placed on Wednesday can be filled and ready for you to pick up early the next day!

We'll reopen Thursday morning at 10AM and resume business as usual, starting off by launching a new special variety six pack of wines at a great big discount 👀

Carlos Aliaga will be the first to tell you that his vines are his friends, and that the most exciting part of being a vigneron is planting new vines and cheering them on as they grow. 🌱

His passion as a winemaker is made evident upon the first sip of any of his wines- the DosCarlos & his newest rosé cuvée Voilà are our latest summer obsessions! Not your average sauvignon blanc, the DosCarlos offers candied ginger and fragrant florals; you might also not immediately recognize the Voilà as a classic Spanish-style rosé, that's because it's not! Truly unique, reminescent of France's Provençal style, gorgeous aromatics- you gotta try it for yourself!

05/30/2024

We can't wait for this event!! - a DELICIOUS way to support the next generation of food and ag leaders as well as dozens of local businesses! Join us at the Picnic on June 2: www.farmtoforknc.com

The rumors are true folks, we’ve got BIG NEWS! 🤩🥂

Wine Authorities Durham has just received quite the Space Age upgrade! It is slightly bittersweet as our classic Enomatic machine recently reached the end of its days, and it’s been sorely missed.

However! We’ve just entered the 21st-and-a-Quarter Century with a brand new Enomatic boasting an array of new features, and, more importantly, you’ll once again be able to sample wine while you shop our aisles. Let the Eno flow!

DON’T WALK, RUN!! 📣 (but remember to find your eno card before you leave the house 😂🫠)

05/11/2024

Congrats to all our grads, and hats off to all the moms out there! 🥂🎓💐

Don’t forget to bring Mom to our free tasting today from 12pm-3pm, we’ll be tasting a few wines from our Super Mom Pack! 🦸‍♀️ 💕

…& of course we’ve got plenty of bubbles to go around for those ready to pop some bottles and get the party started. 😉🍾

For all the Josh fans out there,

All you natty heads and orange crushers,

Buttery Chard and Napa Cab lovers,

We’ve got something for each and every one of you. 💌🍷

Put us to the test! We’re always happy to make recommendations for our customers, whether you’re wanting to branch out and try something new, looking for that bottle you tried at a local restaurant, or perhaps searching for a dupe of that one special wine from years ago that you haven’t been able to find since- we’ll always give it our best shot! 🤝🕵️

04/19/2024

Kick off your Friday night right 🕺💃

Our Raleigh location is open late on Fridays & Saturdays so you can pop in and enjoy a glass of wine off the enomatic, pick up that last minute 6pk of beer for the party, or ask a wine nerd to help decide which wine from the cooler is best to pair with takeout 🥡 🍷🍻

We’re here for you 🫶 (until 9pm)
