Testimonial

"It is truly a pleasure to shop at the Merry Wine Market. From the moment anyone enters the shop, they are greeted as a long-lost friend—usually with something or someone in common with the owners!

The selection is thoughtfully chosen, with lovely selections at every price point. There is no wine snobbery here! Novices as well as aficionados are treated with care and respect. I especially appreciate the staff’s culinary knowledge: I simply describe what I’m cooking and “voila,” there is the perfect wine selection in my price range.

I don’t shop anywhere else—no need."

Gourmet Gift Baskets

What’s in our gift basket? How much does one cost? It all depends on you! Our Gourmet Black Mountain Gift baskets are tailored to your specific need, theme, and budget. We usually say that $50 is a good minimum to ensure that there is a variety of specialy items included, but we have certainly exceeded expectations for less!

Our baskets are 100% drinkable, edible, and/or usable. For example, the base can be a bamboo cheese tray with bamboo cheese knife, a beautiful ceramic serving tray or bowl, an antique flower cutting bucket, or an old wooden wine crate. We love to shop and choose items specific to each basket from our neighboring shops:

The Common Housefly – a kitchen emporium with a great selection of specialty cheeses, pancetta and prosciutto, and other gourmet food items
Chocolate Gems – handmade truffles, candies and chocolate specialties
Bella Blooms – garden shop and home décor.

Think big and out of the box! We’ve done it all, from customized baskets for teens with root beer and gourmet popcorn, chocolates, and candies all in a ceramic popcorn bowl to an entire cocktail party in a box, with 6 bottles of incredible wine, an array of cheeses and gourmet toasts and crackers, a huge box of mixed truffles, napkins, wine keys, and wine stems. Just let us know your budget and the occasion. We promise not to disappoint! Please contact us for more information.
