Tech Savvy Wine Market with Tasting Room Opening in Roswell | Eater Atlanta

"Opening in May at 1055 Canton Street in historic Roswell, this wine market and tasting room—located next to Plum Cafe—will offer a curated selection of California wines, including harder-to-find bottles aimed at collectors. The tasting room uses a self-guided, self-serve format where patrons use prepaid swipe cards to sample up to 24 wines from various pour stations, and can have food delivered from the neighboring café. Owner Dana Gurela, a sommelier and certified California wine appellation specialist who spent five years traveling California’s wine country and served as the hospitality and wine educator for Napa Valley’s Eleven Eleven Winery, intends the concept to remove pretension and make wine sampling and purchasing approachable for both beginners and seasoned collectors." - Beth McKibben
