Dorsey Fenner and Rob Campbell created The
Wine Guy in 1999, moving to Asheville from
Atlanta, where they had been in the wine business
for over 15 years as retailer, wholesaler, and
restaurant owners. The Wine Guy offers an ever
changing, manageable number of wines from
around the world, personally tasted and selected
for quality and value. You will find terrific
alternatives to the factory wines found in
grocery stores, as well as limited production wines
from the world's top growing regions and
wineries. Craft-brewed beers and a nice selection
of wine accessories round out the operation.
Personal service is our specialty, and we
take the time to learn your preferences so that you
will get the most satisfaction from your wine
purchase. We offer regularly scheduled wine
tastings and classes to increase your knowledge
and enjoyment, and work with the area's top
restaurants to present incredible wine dinners, as
well.
At The Wine Guy, we are happy to answer
any wine related questions you may have, and will
gladly consult with you on plans for upcoming
weddings, banquets, or simple gatherings with
friends. Please stop in and let us share some of our
discoveries
Saturday Wine Tastings
Up North
Tasting wine is not only fun, but it presents a chance to learn about wine and what it is about a particular wine that you like, or don't like. We have started Free Tastings at the North Store on Saturdays from 2-5 pm, so that you can sip while you shop and find some new favorites. Try it before you buy it!We will usually have a few whites and a few reds open with the occassional guest speaker. Please stop by!
It seems that the challenging economy we have endured for the past couple of years has left almost no one unscathed. It is with great sadness that we announce that The Wine Guy South on Hendersonville Rd. closed on April 1, 2010. We would like to thank all of those customers who have supported our efforts there for the past 8 years.
Steve Nelson, who has been running the South Store since 2006, is now running the wine, beer and cheese department at Earthfare in South Asheville, and we wish him all the best!
Meanwhile, we keep finding you the best values and most incredible bang for your buck at the Wine Guy on Merrimon Ave., and we thank all of our customers for continuing their loyal support. Please call Dorsey Fenner, Muriel Edens or Tom Kaylor at (828)254-6500 for all your wine needs.
Summer is winding down and school is back in session, but the warm
summer days continue. We will be closed for Labor Day on Monday, September 6, so stock up early for the holiday! We would like to thank you for choosing us as your source for great value wines, special occasion wines and educational
tastings.
We are pleased to present free tastings every Saturday from 2-5 pm, so come by and try some new wines!
Labor Day unofficially marks the end of summer, and fall will soon be in the air! We have lots of fun tastings and wine dinners planned, so please check out our calendar of events and call us at (828) 254-6500 to save your spot! Our “Thrills for the Grill” tasting was a huge hit last month, and, upon request, we will be doing more food-oriented tastings at the shop with guest chef, Tom Bennett, starting in November, so stay tuned!
