I live so close to Wine Authorities and drove by it so many times but never noticed them. It wasn't…read moreuntil Offline Premium introduced me to them! They have 2 locations- Raleigh and Durham. The entire store is filled with wines from all over the world. The best part? None of them are from big companies. Every single one of them are from local/ small businesses (You can see some of the business owners photos by the wines!). The owner/ founder of Wine Authorities has been working with a lot of the wineries for many years. They taste every new batch they purchase to ensure quality. Although they have many businesses they've been working with for a long time, they go to wine shows and events in Europe to discover new ones! I like my wine very sweet but there were so many choices that I was a bit overwhelmed. I asked the nice lady at the register to give me recommendations and I loved the wine she recommended. If you are a bit overwhelmed with all the choices, just ask for help. They are very informative and helpful! Aside from their amazing wine, they also have beer, cider, sake, hot sauce, honey, meats, and etc. You will find at least one thing you will love. On Saturdays, they have free wine tastings from 12-3pm! If you cannot make it there on time, you can always buy a bottle or two. They will give you glasses to drink in the back or outside if the weather is nice outside! You can also buy snacks or cheese to go with your wines. Also, if you are a little hungry, you can buy a bottle from Wine Authorities and head to Thai Cafe next door and they will let you drink there without extra charge!

Wonderful wine store and knowledgeable owners. I favor a good selection of French wines in general…read more Not only is their selection trialed and tested and very good-- but they also cover a broad price range. If you would enjoy buying 50 and 75+ $$ bottles you can find excellent selections but if your budget is more modest and you are looking for $15-25$ selections, you can buy with confidence as well. Have been buying from them for years.. highly recommend. Love this purveyor.

Visiting from out of town, I happened upon the store because I needed to make change for the bus…read more When I entered the store there was a cashier, a man behind a desk area and a woman standing by the front door who asked if I needed help. I told her that all I really needed was to make change. She said "we don't have that" rather dismissively. I was floored. I looked around at this massive store, the cash register's, the staff the millions worth of inventory and I said "really, with all this? And she said " really, with all this". I left the store with no change. The bus didn't make change. The driver let me on for free. There is a total wine in the town where I live, but I don't think I'll be going back there.

Nice local bar with lots of beer options! The bartender was very kind and patient as I mulled…read morethrough all the options, and she allowed me to taste test different drinks when I couldn't make a decision. The menu was a little difficult to read at first, but once you understand that colors represent different types of beers, that helps narrow a lot of options down. There were also plenty of snacks available for purchase, but some customers brought over pizza next door for the ultimate dinner combo! There was plenty of outdoor seating, but limited indoor seating so be sure to check the weather prior if you're staying a while. It seems like they have a lot of regulars that come by on weekdays for a pick-me-up. Dogs and kids were welcome, and there was some parking available in the lot behind the building.

This is the literal best taproom in NC!!! The service, ambience, and selection are unmatched. The…read morebeers rotate so there is always something new to try. The bartenders are amazing at recommending good beers and always give out samples to see which one you want!

I'm kind of surprised that ABC stores are on Yelp, but okay. This location is a former BB&T bank…read morelocation and has good parking around the building. The selection is the same regardless of which Durham ABC store you shop, but this location is clean and uncluttered. They've adapted to COVID-19 with plexiglass and contactless payment. I like the fact that the stores also have a North Carolina section. The reason for my three stars rather than four is because I think North Carolina as a whole should abandon ABC stores and let the free market take over with independent stores that are competitive and can offer a wider selection.

Unbelievably rude. Asked if they carry wine, she asked what kind. Said "like a rosé or something…read moresparkling but not too dry" and she goes "no. This is a liquor store, if you want wine go to a wine store. And who drinks rosé anyway?" Why would you ask what kind of you know you don't sell wine? I'm new to the area and obviously did not know this was exclusively a liquor store. And to then shame a customer for their taste (it wasn't even for me) is extremely tasteless. Luckily, I now know what store to avoid when I am looking for liquor.

Such an amazing selection and mix of whites, reds, and sparkling. Patrick provided me a sample of an amazing Pinot grigio that was crisp, light, and had an amazing hint of honey suckle and pineapple. Wow! I immediately decided that I would take this home along with a sauvingion blanc that he also recommend! For two bottles, it only cost me $26! Most of their wines are under $20! Such a great deal! They have free wine tasting on Fridays at 5 pm, so in a couple of weeks, I may have to check it out!

Hence the four stars. For example, this Harris Teeter has a 14-pump gas station and convenience store lite. The Murray's cheese counter and the florist department are the biggest I've seen at any Harris Teeter in recent memory. And they have a good fresh-cut fruit selection unlike the aforementioned locations. Not that the other locations are bad, this one is just better. At the beginning of each fall, get your annual flu shot at the pharmacy here and receive a $5 coupon. I'm from Atlanta and have never signed up for a Harris Teeter VIC membership. Instead, I just use my Kroger Plus membership at Harris Teeter for the same discounts and benefits as a VIC member. VIC members can do the same at Kroger. Fuel points are interchangeable too and are earned the same way (e.g., 1 fuel point earned for every $1 spent on groceries). Overall, I do think Harris Teeter is nicer than Kroger. When it comes to produce among grocery stores in this tier, I think Publix is the best.
