Rising Tides wants you to drink better.
There’s an ocean of wine out there. Some of it tells a story that’s worth your time and money. The rest is just expensive grape juice. Rising Tides is a service that will teach you the difference. All from an award-winning Sommelier and Wine Director, Steven Grubbs.
BONA FIDE BOTTLES
The Bona Fide Bottles are wines we are making available for pickup at our partner stores. Think of this program like a wine club, if you want, but that’s not exactly the idea. Many wine clubs will send you leftover bottles bought on closeout to lengthen their margin. But we’re offering the best wines we can find. And we’re pricing them really fairly. Plus, every order of a Bona Fide Bottles pack will include a great little lesson on the wines, the producers, and how they both fit into the vast culture of wine so you can learn while you drink. We promise you will get savvy.
ACCESS TO SPECIAL, HAND-SELECTED WINES
The bottles we’ve chosen are not available everywhere. In fact, many of them would be hard for you to find on your own. We’ve done the (really tough! exhausting!) work of tasting through lots of pretenders and contenders, spat most of them out, and decided these select few are the ones you should be drinking.
MULTIPLE PICKUP OPTIONS
Rising Tides partners with great retailers in strategic locations around Atlanta, so you can choose which shop you’d prefer to be your hub. Our partners are shops you’d enjoy visiting even if you weren’t picking up wine, so hopefully you’ll find them to be plenty useful to your eating and drinking routine.
DO YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP OR COMMIT?
Nope. Just click on the name of the shop closest to you, place an order, and we will let you know when it’s ready for pickup. In most cases, the wines will be ready for pickup 4-6 days after we post the offer. Sometimes sooner.
