After visiting the nearby Gibbs Gardens, I decided to check out downtown Ball Ground--a charming…read morelittle town I somehow never knew existed, despite living in Georgia for over a decade. While exploring the main strip, I came across Dot's Fine Wine and Craft. I was hoping they offered wine flights (they do, but only on Thursdays), so instead, I opted for a tasting. They have four wines on tap that rotate regularly--usually two whites and two reds, if I recall correctly. The ones available that day weren't quite my personal taste, but the experience was still great thanks to the welcoming staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The shop itself has a laid-back, cozy vibe with plenty of space to sip and explore. Their selection of wines and specialty beers is impressive--and for those just browsing, there's no pressure, just good conversation and even better recommendations. Now, let me give credit where it's due--Todd, the owner, is a force of nature. My fiancée is very particular about her wine, but once Todd started talking, she was sold. He makes the rounds, connecting with every guest, and his deep knowledge and passion for wine is infectious. Between him, his wife, and lone employee who was shaking and moving the entire time we were there, they've created an experience that's polished, personal, and memorable. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be to add another wine slushie machine. Every time I went for one, it was still chilling--though in their defense, the place was buzzing with activity due to a downtown festival. Dot's isn't just a wine store--it's a destination. They also offer: Thirsty Thursday Wine Flights (4 for $15, waived with a $45 purchase) Monthly Wine Club Private Tastings & Cellar Consulting Wedding & Event Bar Services Wine and Beer Growlers Rotating Frozen Sangrias, Frosé & Wine-Based Cocktails Charcuterie, Wine Gifts & Accessories I've visited plenty of wine shops across the state, but Dot's truly stands out. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just curious, it's absolutely worth the trip. You'll likely leave with more than just a bottle--you'll leave with a great experience.

I think maybe this causes confusion for some so they don't stop to check it out but I finally did and I know I'll go back whenever I'm in the area. They have a wide variety of craft beer on tap, about 25 of them plus some other interesting beverages for a total of 30 taps. They also have wine by the bottle. In speaking with the owner, she said they do movie nights, wine tastings, tap takeovers, and the occasional live music. Just a really chill place with great beer and super nice people. Looking forward to going back.

However I noticed that Canton wines and spirits was close so I decided to check them out and they did have Buffalo trace which I purchased. Appeared to be very well stocked and had a lot of people in there who were buying items. This place seems to have what I need or want. It will save me a trip to Alpharetta. I recommend checking them out and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Right away things seemed a little off. While the store was big, clean and well lit with many long aisles I seen lots of shelfs empty and sparsely populated. Ok, proceeding on I wanted to do some price checking but alas, very few of the products had prices?! I was told that there was a computer/printer problem and they needed a few more days. Ok so how do I tell how much things cost I asked. When you check out, was the answer I got. What?!?! Trudging on with my list I was only able to obtain 1 of the items I was looking for. Not to good. But on the up side, everyone was smiling, very upbeat and eager to help. They definitely have a few issues to over come, which I'm sure they will. Everyone seemed dedicated and committed. But for now 2 stars for me and nothing to take photos of with no prices on the product. I do plan to return maybe in a month or two. I want to be able to write a much better review next time.

Located near the Holly Springs Walmart on I-575 and across from the Texaco gas station. This store is brightly lit, with clutter free aisles and great selections.
