Good wine store in East Nashville

Well, I have some really good news for wine lovers who live in East Nashville. The Woodland Wine Merchant has opened at 1001 Woodland St., just West of Five Points and about 100 yards from Margo's. Sandra and I dropped in there this week to check it out. The store (photo above) is in an old bank building and is open and airy with the wines well laid out for one's viewing in nice wooden racks like the one in the photo. We had a nice talk with Will Motley shown in the second photo. They have only been open a week but are being well received by locals and others visiting the new "hot" Five Points area. If you are not used to venturing over to East Nashville you need to go soon for a fun day or evening.

We found Will be be very friendly and knowledgeable about wines as he used to work for the large Nashville wholesaler-Best Brands . His prices are good too--I bought some spirits cheaper than I usually pay over in our area of town so this is good for customers.

The good news for us is that Will is willing to take on our Hawks Nest Orchard Block wine. He will be the first store East of the Cumberland River to our knowledge offering our yummy red NZ blend of Malbec and Cab Franc. So, a big "thank you Will" we hope to send some business your way and do want to do some tasting events with you in the area this coming fall when our new 06 vintage arrives.

More soon!!!

PS We just got our US label approval for our 06 wine so now we can print, label, and ship that new vintage to Lipman Brothers here in Nashville. Look for the new 06 in area stores in mid Nov. at the latest!!!!!
