Merry Wine Market

What makes the Merry Wine Market different from most wine shops is that Scott and Katherine (the delightful owners) see it as their responsibility to know about wines; therefore, intimidation and frustration are to be left on the sidewalk. Novices and collectors alike are at home here. One of their mottos is, “We’d rather make a friend than a sale”... and they mean it!

Scott and Katherine started off in February of 2004, opening as the first full-service wine shop in the little town of Black Mountain. Scott, eager to talk and visit with everyone he meets, always dreamed of owning a “mom and pop shop”, and this lovely mountain town proved to be the perfect setting for that! The growth of the business in such a short time is testament to the need for such a shop for a town that is itself growing in population, culture, and interest. Stop by to see for yourself what a vibrant little town and store we are!
