New Wine Shop Opening In Chamblee



Grand Opening
Le Caveau Fine Wines
Saturday, May 28th

Le Caveau, a new fine wine shop in Chamblee, is holding its Grand Opening this Saturday, May 28th, from 11:00-8:00.

Press Release:

Le Caveau Fine Wines carries a unique selection of wines to suit every budget. We've been busy tasting wines from across the world since last Fall and have curated an amazing selection of artisanal wines, most not widely available in the Atlanta market. While our focus is primarily on European wines, we also carry a fine selection of New World gems for you to choose. We are very excited to offer these wines to you at amazing prices! Le Caveau literally translates to "vault," and that is just what we have created here at 5256 Peachtree, a vault of wines for you to enjoy or add to your cellar.

Come check out our newly opened wine shop! We will have an eclectic selection of wines open for you to taste paired with artisanal cheeses from the Thomasville, Georgia based Sweet Grass Dairy Farms along with a tasty selection of house-cured meats from Atlanta's own Pine Street Market.

Le Caveau also carries a unique selection of decanters and wine glass cleaning supplies, as well as several great wine reference books not typically found in Atlanta. We also have an array of wine totes, aerators, corkscrews, cocktail napkins and other items that are necessities for all those with a passion for wine. We are your one-stop shop for great gifts for wine lovers.

We look forward to seeing you Saturday. We are located at 5256 Peachtree Rd., Ste. 102, (Chamblee, GA 30341) across the street from the Chamblee Marta station.
