Roots Wine Club – The Community Tap

A monthly wine club, curated by Co-Owner and certified Sommelier, Ed Buffington

While we are lucky enough to taste loads of beautiful wines on a weekly basis at the Tap, only a small percentage of these ever make it to our shelves. ROOTS gives us the opportunity to share the experience of trying our favorite bottles.

Your monthly ROOTS subscription will include six bottles of wine in a reusable wine tote, notes by Ed including information on the producers, grapes and growing regions, and (bonus & crowd favorite) a recipe selected by Ed to pair perfectly with one or several of your wines for the month.

Ed, why do you love wine so much?

“Way back in the year 2000, my wife Kim and I were living in The Netherlands and during a trip to France – Provence to be exact, the wine bug bit me.

We were enjoying a pizza with niçoise olives on it and the server brought a carafe of rosé. As one those people who says ‘I only drink red’, I thought ‘why not, it’s what everyone around us is drinking’ and voila – I was hooked!

Fast forward ten years and as we were opening Greenville’s first craft beer focused store, I wanted to add wine to the mix, because, well, it’s delicious.

A few years later, as I started going further down the rabbit hole of the wine world, I decided to go for and achieve a Certified Sommelier status with the Court of Master Sommeliers – a rigorous process no doubt.

As I wrote in the notes of a recent Roots wine club collection, to me wine is, in a way, a method of exploration – in each bottle we can visit the vineyards where the grapes are grown and taste the fruits of the labor from the people and the place that made the wine, each one truly a special event.”

As a Roots Wine Club member, you can add our Cultured Cheese Club at a discounted rate. Selecting this add-on means that your cheese payment will be the same billing cycle as your wine.
Roots pick up will remain in the middle of the month with Cultured to follow the week after. If you join both clubs, this allows you to pick up your wine and cheese at the same time! *please know we will do our best to strive for these dates but shipping delays unfortunately happen
Pickup for both Roots and Cultured Club will be at our North Main or Travelers Rest location.
We have changed to a new subscription platform called Billsby that will better allow you to manage your monthly subscription plan and recurring payment. All subscriptions will auto renew through Billsby moving forward.
