Grant Tennille
WINE BUYER
Hailing from Central Pennsylvania, Dani has brought warmth to the store since joining in 2022 after finishing graduate school at UNC. She has always been enthusiastic about wine and loves helping people find their new favorite bottle! She is currently earning her level 2 wine certification with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, which, paired with her background in organic chemistry, gives her a unique perspective on exploring wines and what makes them all so interesting in their own ways.
Dani Sklar
SHOP MANAGER
Originally from Washington DC, Grant has called North Carolina for over 30 years. An avid composer and yogi, his life trajectory was radically altered in 2007 by a chance encounter with a bottle of Nero d'Avola, and he has been championing the virtues of sustainable viticulture ever since. Grant is a firm believer in wine's ability to not just delight the senses, but to deepen our connections with others, and the earth.

We’re already drinking about this weekend! Oops, I meant thinking. Obviously we have wine on the mind and this Saturday we will have some fabulous bold reds, perfect for this chilly weather! This juicy, complex, and organic red is a classic blend of old-vine Grenache and Carignan from the Terraces du Larzac AOP in the Languedoc region of France. Stop by on Saturday from 12-3 to taste it and others with Grant!

“Begin as you mean to go on.” Our first tasting of 2024 celebrates everyday charm courtesy of sea-kissed Abruzzese Chardonnay, fresh Umbrian Merlot, old-school Tuscan Sangiovese, and a fittingly French take on Xarel-lo grown in limestone-rich Catalonian soil. See you at the shop from 12 - 3!
