I've been shopping at Total Wine around the country for many years. The one in Las Vegas is about 3 times the size of this store, thanks to NC's restrictive laws on selling liquor via ABC stores (Boo!). However, this Meyers Park location is the best overall wine store in Charlotte. There are a few "boutique" merchants (like The Wine Shop in Foxcroft plaza) but overall it's tough to beat this store.
They have it all....selection, tastings, BEER, accessories, location (only 5 mins from my house).....and best of all, they have Kira! She's super knowledgable, friendly and is a total wine fool/geek/nerd/obssessed person just like moi! LOL
Seek her out when you're in the store....tell her that Paul sent you. She just may steer you to the "hidden" stash!
