It is no secret that some of my favorite things are fresh cut flowers, wine and cheese.
This past weekend, before meeting our friends for dinner we popped into an old Charlotte market, that just moved to a new location under new ownership.
I was a big fan of the old Reid's Fine Foods in Uptown, but they closed over a year ago to much dismay.
Since then, the owner sold it and they've relocated to Myers Park off Selwyn Avenue.
When we pulled up to the shopping center we noticed the wine bar inside.
When we walked in I was instantly IN LOVE!
All of my favorite things displayed so beautifully!
Fresh cut Spring flowers for purchase.
Nothing better than a bouquet of hydrangeas!
Huge selection of beers from all over for purchase.
Cheese!
Their selection is awesome!
Truly!
Truly!
An incredible selection of wine!
Reid's has always been know for their wine selection.
Their former owner, Chuck, prided himself on it. He even helped us with a few tours here and there on Brad and I's first trip to Napa.

We're told Chuck still stops by the store on a regular basis and of course he's remembered throughout the store.
When the old Reid's Uptown was closing they sold a lot of their wine at discounted prices.
I went crazy in there!
I must have bought a case!
The new location has just as good of a selection.

Including a bottle of Mt. Veeder Cab.
Brad and I bought a 1997 bottle of this on said trip above, and proceeded to drink it a couple of weeks later when we got engaged.
There is also an assortment of deli meats and fresh meat for sale.
You can find all your ingredients to put together an entire gourmet meal by stopping by Reid's

And, as I mentioned it's all beautifully displayed.
The staff is something to behold too.
A true neighborhood market!

This place looks perfect. I'm right there with you with flowers, cheese and wine! I always have fresh flowers in my house. I'm excited to hear if you take the cooking classes. I've always wanted to try one of those classes, and lord knows I could use some help in the cooking department. :) Thanks for the b-day wishes. Have a good day!

Wow! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've ALWAYS wanted to take a cooking class. It's on my goals for this year (and last year and the year before). I just can't seem to find the motivation to search out a venue offering it. Maybe I will this summer!!
