The Vineyard Wine Market

Vineyard appears to be out of business, hence the 1-​star rating. Signs are down and windows are papered over. Haven’t been by in some time, but it’s sad to see this. I hope they’ve just relocated someplace else in ATL!

This is a really cute wine shop that has weekly wine tasting events at night. The owner and staff are incredible– they truly know their wine and are so helpful in finding wines that are perfect based on what flavors you enjoy. I’ve also asked them for help in finding gifts for others who have very different tastes in wine, and my friends loved the wine that they suggested. Friendly service, a nice selection of quality wines, and no snooty wine snobs make this place amazing.

What a great finish to a full Saturday. It was thru a Living Social offer I found this place. The wines were good and Anthony made the whole evening fun.
I will definitely get a group back for another tasting.

My husband and I love this place! We’re a couple of wine aficionados so we’re always looking for something new to try. The Vineyard Wine Market is great because they often rotate out their inventory with bottles from lesser known and interesting wineries. You won’t find the normal grocery store/​package store labels here.
And their wine club is the perfect place to taste and learn about these wines. Often times than not, there is a sommelier or a rep from the actual vineyard at the tasting to explain what you are drinking. You can’t get that kind of experience and education elsewhere in metro Atlanta.
And as for the owner of this place, Anthony is awesome! He knows us by name, as well as all his wine club members. You don’t see that kind of personalized service these days. If his outgoing and gregarious nature offends some people, it’s their loss.

The Vineyard is the perfect place to get wine education or to just have a sip of wine. Anthony, the owner, is very knowledgeable about wine and very friendly. He goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is satisfied. So much so that you can see it in his face LOL. His level of customer service is refreshing compared to other establishments I’ve been too. The points that I love about this place are: 1. It’s not a bar so the atmosphere is always comfortable and quiet besides the music and televisions which are always at a nice level and you won’t find people standing all around like a bar or club. 2. Anthony specializes in smaller vineyards so going to his place you will experience wines that you won’t really find anyplace else. 3. There are always events going on where you can be introduced to wines from around the world and they are very affordable for date night or if you just love wine. 4. He invites experts to speak about the wines that he serves. 5. He has a wine club where each month you get to sample 6 wines and take 2 of the bottles home that you like the most. My girlfriend and I have been going for a few months now and we love it. If you are looking for loud music and people getting crazy this is not the place. But if you want good wine at a reasonable price, nice people and great customer service, this is the place to come to.

My boyfriend and I wandered in here one random evening after leaving The Grape in Vinings (now closed) looking to buy some wine. Little did we know, we stumbled on a Gem! Anthony, the owner, was welcoming and explained that they were a wine market but «not a bar». They have a tasting room where you can enjoy a glass and they have numerous tastings during the month. He explained to us about his Wine Club — $ 40 a month to taste 6 wines and take two bottles home. How can you beat that? He insisted we come back to the Tasting Room and had us sample a few. We were sold by his hospitality and generosity.
We decided to join the Wine Club in April 2011 and have immensely enjoyed it. Anthony brings in very knowledgeable sommeliers and has a knack for finding wonderful boutique-​style wines. We’ve both learned so much since going to Anthony’s events, met some great people and our palettes and knowledge have expanded. Anthony is great at finding something that will suit you and makes sure that everyone’s having a good time.
I highly recommend visiting and/​or joining Wine Club! All other tastings and events are listed on the site. Each summer’s Wine Wars which pits countries against each other is a treat.

Anthony makes the wine tastings fun– not only for the wine club members but themed tastings 2 – 4 times per month as well as semi-​private wine tasting fundraisers. Nice environment, sometimes staff gets a little harried when busy but generally is very personable. I’ve never taken advantage of buying from the list– I like the tasting menus instead.
Also-​the tastings/​fundraisers provides a great place for a personable single guy to meet some single women in a non-​intimidating atmosphere.

I have been a member of the V2 wine market for just over a year now and have yet to have a less than great experience.
Anthony does a great job at working with local distributors and actual vineyards to provide the best boutique wines to taste each week. He puts in extra work to show wines of similar varietals from different regions comparing different countries and continents. Every week is a great adventure when it comes to where the wines are coming from and the types of grapes you never knew you loved.
What I like best is not only the variety of wines, but the fact that they come in all price ranges. It is great to know that if you like something you taste you can afford to buy a couple bottles and bring them home with you.

My husband and I joined the V2 wine club at the Vineyard Wine Market 4 months ago. We love the owners knowledge and humor and prices and ability to get just about any wine. Wine club is very informative and fun … most always great wines !! The occasional other wine tastings are exceptionally great, also … we have been buying and cellaring wine for 30 years and are very pleased that we have found The Vineyard Wine Market.

My wife’s co-​workers took her here yesterday for her b-​day and I met up with them. Nice place. Really good wine selection in the wine bar area. I had a Chilean red blend that was outstanding. Wish I could remember the name. The bartender was super helpful too. They brought out an enormous platter of cheeses, Italian meats, fruit, nuts that all went very well with the various wines everyone was drinking. If you go to the store and they don’t have what you want, they’ll get it for you. The were able to find some bottles of Justin Justification and called us to let us know we could come pick it up.
If you’re looking for some good wine and maybe want to impress some people you are entertaining, just tell the guys what you’re cooking at home and let them pick it out for you. Then pretend like you’re a real cork-​dork sommelier and tell your friends it was all your idea.

So I like REALLY sweet wine. Not Manischewitz sweet but like dessert wine — Moscato. There was a Riesling I once had that had this quality and I was seeking it out at this establishment. The salesperson suggested a wine and then the proprietor came out and in a condescending tone asked «if I was looking for sweet for the sake of being sweet». Um as a matter of fact I was. However I was in la la land and my friend was the one that noticed the tone. So I had bought the wine he suggested and for lack of a better word — it SUCKED. It wasn’t sweet at all. I will go to the place I found the original wine I liked…

Located inside the Vineyard Wine Market is the V2 Wine Room, which serves wine and a selection of small plates. Reminiscent of The Grape, it offers the opportunity to try unique wines in a comfortable setting.
The key to enjoying this place is to make a reservation. This way, the staff knows you’re coming, and they go out of their way to make your visit special. The owner will likely stop by your table and offer his expertise free of charge. But if you happen to pop in one night, the service may be hit or miss, as sometimes they only have one server for both the wine bar and the wine shop in the front.
With our sampling of red wines, we opted to taste the hummus and the large meat and cheese platter. The latter was beautifully presented, and complimented our wines well. The hummus was good, but nothing special at $ 8. As advertised in the menu, it was to be served with olives and extra virgin olive oil, but they were nowhere to be found. We did ask, and receive, extra pita wedges, but had to wait about twenty minutes due to the unexpected crowd that arrived shortly after our party.
If you’re not in a hurry, and want to catch up with friends over a bottle (or two or three) of wine, check out the V2 Wine Room inside the Vineyard Wine Market. And if you enjoy the wine, you can purchase a bottle to go!
