You can sample wine at the counter, or buy bottles from the shelves (to drink there or to go). They also offer free wine tastings every Saturday! We often pick up wine bottles to go- they have a decent selection of wine from many different countries. Favorite part about Louella? It's dog-friendly! Both inside and outside (making these hot days more bearable for us and our fur baby). It can get crowded here, but have never had a problem finding a table- and we've made several friends at this shop! Would highly recommend stopping in for some wine!

I live so close to Wine Authorities and drove by it so many times but never noticed them. It wasn't…read moreuntil Offline Premium introduced me to them! They have 2 locations- Raleigh and Durham. The entire store is filled with wines from all over the world. The best part? None of them are from big companies. Every single one of them are from local/ small businesses (You can see some of the business owners photos by the wines!). The owner/ founder of Wine Authorities has been working with a lot of the wineries for many years. They taste every new batch they purchase to ensure quality. Although they have many businesses they've been working with for a long time, they go to wine shows and events in Europe to discover new ones! I like my wine very sweet but there were so many choices that I was a bit overwhelmed. I asked the nice lady at the register to give me recommendations and I loved the wine she recommended. If you are a bit overwhelmed with all the choices, just ask for help. They are very informative and helpful! Aside from their amazing wine, they also have beer, cider, sake, hot sauce, honey, meats, and etc. You will find at least one thing you will love. On Saturdays, they have free wine tastings from 12-3pm! If you cannot make it there on time, you can always buy a bottle or two. They will give you glasses to drink in the back or outside if the weather is nice outside! You can also buy snacks or cheese to go with your wines. Also, if you are a little hungry, you can buy a bottle from Wine Authorities and head to Thai Cafe next door and they will let you drink there without extra charge!

Wonderful wine store and knowledgeable owners. I favor a good selection of French wines in general…read more Not only is their selection trialed and tested and very good-- but they also cover a broad price range. If you would enjoy buying 50 and 75+ $$ bottles you can find excellent selections but if your budget is more modest and you are looking for $15-25$ selections, you can buy with confidence as well. Have been buying from them for years.. highly recommend. Love this purveyor.

ABC stores in this state seem like a real scam on behalf of the government, but on balance they…read moresell pretty much everything you'd expect from a liquor store this size in another state (say, Texas, where I moved from), and at similar prices. Maybe a little less variety than at, say, a Twin's Liquor in Texas, but not far off. But probably no tasting events or promotions, I'd bet. So I guess the main downside is no possibility of a liquor/wine/beer/specialty-foods superstore like Spec's in Texas, or Wine Library in New Jersey, or something like that. And the fact all the ABC stores look nearly exactly the same, like nasty old banks. I'm also surprised they open at 9AM, which is pretty early for a typical liquor store.

In Durham, our go-to Harris Teeter is on the one on 54, but we happened to be on Ninth Street…read moreeating at Juju so we stopped by this location to pick up a couple groceries before heading home. Based on my single visit to this location, it seems bigger and a little bit nicer than the Harris Teeter we normally go to. It also seems better stocked. We picked up a 10-oz box of Fresh Express 50/50 Mix of spring mix and spinach ($4.99) and a 48-oz container of Harris-Teeter-cut watermelon chunks ($5.00). It rang up to $10.19 after tax and using my wife's Kroger Plus membership (VIC customer), she got double fuel points for the month. The store was clean and on a Wednesday evening around 7:30pm, most of the clientele appeared to be Duke students. Not surprising considering Duke East Campus is just two blocks away. This Harris Teeter has both a Starbucks and a pharmacy inside. This is Harris Teeter store #394 and you can find it at the Shops at Erwin Mill at the corner of Hillsborough Rd and 9th St in Old West Durham. This is a relatively busy area.

What I recommend: Avoid ordering cakes from this location…read more We ordered a sheet cake from the Harris Teeter bakery for a veterans dinner this past weekend to celebrate and honor those who served. Unfortunately, what we received was extremely disappointing. The cake was poorly decorated and looked like very little effort or care went into it. When we brought it up to the baker, she brushed us off and said we could request a refund if we wanted, but that she wouldn't do anything to fix it. The event was only two hours away, and thankfully, the amazing staff at the Whole Foods bakery stepped in and helped us get cakes for 67 people with just an hour's notice. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this Harris Teeter location for cakes, especially if you need something that looks even halfway presentable.
