Hinton’s Savvy Cellar

Most people probably go to Hinton’s for the wine but I go for the craft beer and the bourbon. The craft beer selection isn’t quite as large as Total Wine, but it’s still very good for Sandy Springs and they get a few rare beers each week that tend to stay on the shelves for a couple days longer than some places. The staff has always been helpful and knowledgeable as well.
I have purchased wine as well and feel like I get good advice on what to buy based on the region, styles, and price point that I prefer.

Decent wine variety and plenty of local microbrew beers. Staff is helpful if asked.
I wouldn’t cross town to come here, but would to hesitate coming back.

I walked in here with the intention of purchasing something. This place was empty and looks like a warehouse. The cashier was looking at his phone and shaking his head. Two other employees were talking with each other. No one bothered to say hello or ask if I needed help. Not the place for me.
I won’t be coming back.

What a great place to get your wine and liquor. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and friendly. They do carry some beer (not tons), but they do tend to carry Strongbow, which is all I care about.
They have a decent selection of single-​malt scotches that keeps my Mom and brother happy, plus good pricing on the large bottles to keep your bar well-​stocked. If they don’t have what you need, odds are they will order it for you.
They will also haul my purchases to my car for me when I can’t (rare, but it has happened). Love these guys.

John is very friendly, he works at the cash register and is ready to asist you in your purchases. This day I picked a South African blend called, The Left Bank. I really loved it but for $ 18 I probably won’t get it all of the time. The selection at Hinton’s isn’t large but I bet you can order anything you want.

Hilton’s excels in great wine along with great prices. What totally keeps me coming back is the customer service and the very knowledgable staff. Every time I go in they remember my name, know what I like and always carry my purchase to the car. The beer selection is extensive as well and just recently I was able to get a very hard to find and in demand beer for my husband, who was extremely happy.

This is a hidden gem in Sandy Springs, that more are certain to discover. I am not a HUGE wine fanatic, but I know a little and was looking to broaden the horizons. This store is in the LA Fitness plaza on Abernathy, and is wall to wall with a grand selection of spirits. I was most impressed with the customer service, unlike most wine stores in the area (cough TOTAL WINE) who barely acknowledge you. They have a GREAT selection of wine for the average consumer: Cabernet, Syrah, Pinot, Chardonnay, etc. I was really impressed that they carried a bottle that I have been hunting for (Silver Palm Cab) at a fraction of the cost that the distributor was going to charge me. Richard, who I believe is the owner; spent about ten minutes discussing my purchase with me. I was not shooting for any Opus One or high end bottles, so the fact that someone would care to discuss a moderately priced purchase shows A LOT of character. The only drag is that there is a LOT of construction going on nearby, so many may not get exposure to this great store. So, if you are looking for a great store with a solid customer service attitude, try this place!

Wine, wine, wine yes they have spirits and a smallish amount of beer available too. Informative and helpful staff can even make special orders for you if it’s available. Hinton’s even had a couple of bottles of Italian I know for fact the distributor is out of nice find because it is a favorite of mine.
