Most liquor store visits are purely transactional, and little exists — except your purchase — to make it memorable in any way. Shopping at Woodland Wine Merchant, however, is an absolute delight. Filled with natural light and artfully arranged, the “purveyor of uncommon wine, spirits and beer” in Five Points is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. The staff is knowledgeable and eager to help you find your next favorite bottle of wine, which is no small feat given the diverse and unique selection from small producers around the world. What’s more, their stellar collection of barware and mixers makes for a perfect gift for the boozehounds in your life. NANCY FLOYD
