Research Park Wine Merchants

Wine studies, oyster nights, and occasional Hot Ones challenges - Russ runs a great establishment. There's a very welcoming community of people that frequent this place, and everyone is happy to share their knowledge if you're a novice like me. The selection is great and there's always some interesting event going on. We're lucky to have a place like this in Huntsville.

Such a great spot! We always have a great time - Russ is so knowledgeable & personable and the atmosphere is top notch. Their oyster nights are phenomenal and every glass of wine has been fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough!

The best wine bar and shop in Huntsville. Not only are they passionate about their wine and food, they make sure their customer service is on the same level. I wanted to host a surprise party for a friend, and they were more than happy to work with me, ensuring we were on the same page every step of the way. Gracious, responsive, and welcoming, you can’t go wrong here.

Wonderful, inviting surroundings. Friendly service, excellent food with well thought out ingredients. The wine options are very good and run the gamut of pricing. It's quite cozy, and I expect we will spend much more time here!

So I am a IPA beer loving guy, my girlfriend has followed me to many a brew houses, she loves wine. This is the perfect compromise. She LOVED it! No TV’s, just great conversation. It is a win-win. We will be back

After physically spotting this place, I began to see their Facebook ads.
I planned a trip here with a friend. We loved it so much. Very chic and comfortable vibe. Russ waited on us and was very patient explaining all of the wines and the price structures to us.
He also made good suggestions and is attentive.
Before my friend and I left, we made our plans for our next trip back. We are both busy Moms, and this place is a laid back and welcoming escape.

I have seen this place for years and never stopped until yesterday, 12/22/23...
I LOVE IT!!
I picked up two bottles 1 August Kesseler, Reisling & bottle of Valckenberg, Dorenfelder - Red
The owner helped me with my purchase - explaining the products - and I found my time with her to be informative & fun.
I highly recommend this company and I definitely will be back!

This place is so lay back and fair prices. Great way to relax and the food is simple yet delicious. Obviously the wine is amazing and the service is on point! Highly recommend. Make sure to put your dollar on the wall 😄

Every visit is 5 stars. A perfect synergy of laid-back atmosphere, killer playlist, high quality wine selections and a carefully curated food menu. Owners, Russ and Krystal are 10/10 humans. Always recommend!

The absolute most lovely experience you can have drinking. The owners Russ and Crystal are so kind and not to mention knowledgeable! They will treat you like a friend and give you a recommendation like one. No better way to buy wine in Huntsville !

This place is awesome ! No TV’s ! If you want to spend time together, enjoy great wine, ( and beer), in an intimate setting… this is the place! Check it out, a must see/do.

Delightful, cozy wine bar. Great customer service, the owners have exquisite wine knowledge that can assist in decision making to get the best possible pairing for a dinner or event. *Forewarning* the pizza is amazing and will spoil you from other pizzas in town. Highly recommended.

This is the most chill place that I have ever been, and the wines are sooo good. If you ever want a chill place to go with friends who love wine, this is the place.

What a lovely place to be! The wine and food were exquisite and the service was outstanding! I will be frequenting this sweet spot! Cheers!

Excellent service with extensive wine knowledge. Highly recommend for a chill night out

Recommended by a friend, we stopped by on a Friday night and left so excited to have found such a gem! The atmosphere is very relaxed and Russ is so welcoming and easy to talk to. He recommended some great wines that we thoroughly enjoyed and the conversation was great. This seems like a great place to go to as regulars and we look forward to visiting very often! A great establishment for Huntsville.

This place is a great little wine shop with some fine bar food eats. There is an email list to get on for some of the special seasonal type events that include great food. The staff here is fun and loves to help you select new wines to try. Come enjoy wine on site by the glass or buy a bottle to go! Don't forget to bring a small and cool photo of your pet in a frame for them to have on the wall with all the others present.

Fantastic and unique spot near Research Park. The wine selection is well curated and extremely high quality regardless of your price range. The food is always fresh, from scratch, and very unique. Staff/owners are very friendly and always willing to talk you through selections for dine in or wine to go. I can't say enough good things about this place and the owners. My new favorite spot in Huntsville.

Russ my guy! Thank you for a random yet unique experience this past weekend 6/25/2022! I popped into this new wine spot after putting my name down on a nearby restaurant. Met a cool guy who’s a wine connoisseur named, Russ. Taught my curious palate about wines there right on the spot then invited myself and my guest to try some samples. His open hospitality was great, positive, and eager to welcome fresh faces. Atmosphere was intimate, prepared, and refined. Appreciate the encouragement to continue to enlighten my senses and tastes. Will be back for those soon to open rookie wine classes!

Great customer service and great selection of really cool wines. You can also drink wine by the glass or draft beer at the bar. Go check this place out really cool atmosphere with great service!!
