Wine Tastings
Wine Events
One of Atlanta’s most revered collections, Murphy’s wine list has gained the respect of both the novice and connoisseur alike and the beautiful wine retail shop has become a sought after destination for collectors of all types.
The Progressive Wine List.
The retail shop is organized progressively to demystify wines and make the selection process less intimidating for the novice. A progressive list is different from other lists in that it organizes wines according to general flavor characteristics and "mouth feel" or the weight of a wine on the palate. Come check out the Wine Shop and see what we're talking about!
Always Something New to See.
Our wines change weekly to showcase the best new releases, with very competitive pricing, including a 17% case discount! We always stock a generous supply of exclusive wines to keep things exciting for the connoisseurs, and we're always happy to special order wines if you want something in particular. Just let us know what you're looking for and we'll try to find it!
Murphy's can also help you plan the wine selections for your private events to ensure your guest's enjoyment. Contact the Wine Director by email at wine@murphysvh.com or by phone at 404.872.5611, ext. 17.
Every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., the Wine Shop hosts themed wine tastings where guests may acquaint themselves with new wines and develop their wine knowledge. The fee is $20, and we pour approximately 8 wines. Enjoy dinner with your tasting and receive a $5 credit towards any entree of your choice over $11. Seating is limited, so please try to arrive early. We start pouring promptly at 6:30 p.m.
Give us a call anytime on the day of the tasting to purchase your tickets early! We can be reached at 404.872.0904. You can also call anytime after 10 a.m. on the day of the wine tasting to make a reservation. For larger groups, consider setting-up a private tasting or our “Rent a Wine Guy.”.
