At The Wine and Spirits Cellar, we believe a great wine experience should be personal and local. While we stock an impressive collection of wines from all over the world, we have a special place in our hearts (and on our shelves!) for the fantastic wines being produced right here in Tennessee and the surrounding region. The unique soil and climate of East Tennessee—its “terroir”—create wines with character and a flavor profile that you simply can’t find anywhere else. By choosing local, you’re not only getting a delicious bottle, but you’re also supporting local agriculture, small businesses, and a thriving community.
More Than Just a Store, We’re a Community Hub
Our goal is to be your go-to destination for all things wine. We pride ourselves on having a knowledgeable staff ready to help you find the perfect bottle for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a bold Cabernet to pair with steak or a crisp white for a relaxing afternoon on the porch, we’ll guide you to a selection that fits your taste and budget. We love introducing customers to the vast and exciting world of wine, from classic varietals to unique blends you’ve never heard of. Our passion for wine is a big part of what makes our store a destination for so many.
Explore Our Curated Wine List
We constantly update our selection with seasonal finds and new arrivals, ensuring there’s always something new to discover. For a taste of California’s finest, we are proud to offer Beringer Vineyards’ Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Knights Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) is renowned for its volcanic soil and mountainous landscape, which produce a Cabernet with exceptional structure and depth. You’ll find notes of dark cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, with hints of cocoa and toasted oak. This wine is a testament to the fact that great winemaking is a blend of artistry and dedication.
For those looking to explore our local and regional options, you’ll find incredible wines crafted from grapes like Muscadine, Seyval Blanc, and Vidal Blanc. These hardy varietals thrive in the Tennessee climate, offering a distinct taste of the region. A local Muscadine wine, for example, is often sweet and fruity, with a unique floral aroma that’s perfect for a warm summer day. A Seyval Blanc offers a drier, crisp alternative with notes of green apple and citrus, making it a fantastic pairing for local smoked trout or a fresh salad.
Pairing Tennessee Wines with Local Cuisine
The best part about local wine is how well it pairs with local food. A semi-sweet Tennessee red wine is the perfect match for East Tennessee BBQ, its sweetness balancing the smoky and savory flavors. A dry white, on the other hand, can be a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of classic Southern comfort food like fried chicken.
So, whether you’re planning a quiet night in or looking for a showstopper for your next party, come in and explore our incredible variety. We are confident you’ll find a wine that you love, and you might even discover a new local favorite!
