The Scene
Part of the ho-hum strip of stores that is Ansley Mall, this liquor store is anything but boring. The beverage depot comes complete with unpretentious staff that won't snicker at any of your wine or beer questions. You'll also find some of the most colorful wine recommendation labels in town. With pleas such as "Take a snort of this port" and "This ain't yo momma's merlot," the owners have managed to grab customers' attention, teach them about wines and keep them coming back for more.

The Goods
Its patrons usually come in search of wine, although the full-service store also has a standard selection of beer and liquor. Ansley Wine specializes in burgundies, but stocks a wide array of cabernets, chardonnays and other fine wines from around the world. The selection runs the gamut from high-end vintages to standard table wine.
