maria white: In at 9:45am out before 10:30am!!Thank You Empire Distributors!

William Burton: Was told by broke open window for delivery once here told I had 1 pm appointment was 810 am took me early was unloaded by 835 great place nice people

Della Bookout: Very good place to deliver too. Everyone was very nice to work with. Would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much Empire. You're a drivers dream come true.

Andrea Thuai: One of the hardest companies to get an order from. Waited two day for a delivery that we had to cancel because no one would get back to us. I’d never use them again they aren’t worth the hassle

Jackie Brown: I started out as a temporary associate with this company through a staffing agency. My time here I find out that the two managers that I had to deal with was about incompetent at the company that place me here. I'm writing this review to share my experience so no one else would have to endear what I went through.1. I didn't receive the shift differential pay like my other associates did for working night shift. I started out working on the day shift and transfer to night shift my pay didn't reflect the shift differential.2. I had to endure the disrespectfulness from an associate telling me to shut up not once not twice but four times. And now finding myself in the office on several occasion because of someone else Insanity behavior.3. Management having to deal with two managers that I came up with the conclusion that they weren't the sharpest tool in the shed. Their words never match their actions and knowing my worth and doing my best it was never it was never appreciated. After dealing with the hand that I was dealt with I made a decision to remove myself from the equation. From my heart I believe my age played a significant part why I didn't go forward with this company. I was good enough to work temporary at my age butnot permanent. You offer me the position that I never received now I'm observing you interviewing outside for the position.My last words for the managers thanks for the opportunity and I left.I would never let no one devalue my worth when I know it.SincerelyJackie Brown

Michael Long: Easy unload. I was about an hour early for my appointment. Had me unloaded in 12 minutes… 15 pallets. Friendly staff. Backing is a little tight but not terrible. No overnight parking.

J. CL.: The unloading time is relatively short, the staff is very nice, and the toilet is very clean! It's just that the venue is a bit small. . . Xiaobai estimated that he would have to press the dirt road in front of him to finish reversing into the garage!

Malcolm Bowers: I was there early ,they unloaded me right away. Great place

James Haskins: Have no problems at all people are great. Room to get unloaded.

Demetrius Richardson: Terrible place to deliver. Appointments are never right and never busy enough to need an appointment.

Matthew Lee: Fast unloading. Easy process.

BattGirl Transportation: Good team of men here !! Unloaded me very quickly. Despite a delivery date mix up with JB they still offloaded with no issues! Thank youIt’s the driveway next to Amazon. Local police sitting at the entrance not sure if that’s routinely. No issue to me I proceeded through10/2020

Phil S: In and out 30 min great place to deliver to

Levaun George: Awsome place, wish i could give them 6 stars

Ernest H: Great business, great people!

All Things Vape: This place is rediculous to say the least. Granted I showed up without an appointment. But I had to because I was told to by my dispatcher and was told to see if they will work me in. I went to check in and I was told they required an appointment to get me unloaded. I get where they are coming from because I did work as a receiving clerk for 14 years before I became a driver. HOWEVER!....I have been here now since 7:30 AM, and they have only unloaded 3 trucks in 7 hours!!... They told me they couldn't work me in because they had lots of trucks to unload today.So I'm stuck here until I either get an appointment time or until they close at 4:00PM. Like I said rediculous to say the least.

Jay Williams: As a former driver there I wouldn't recommend nobody to apply there unless you are working at the warehouse as a driver or selector. If you working off the premises on another yard you going to have alot of difficulties and alot of stress and pressure put on you. No help and the work is very overwhelming with all the beer and wine is being ordered by the sellers. Truth be told you would think the drivers get treated better than what they are but it's the sellers that get treated like gold while the drivers are nothing but mules. I worked with the company going on 2 years and I have seen 6 drivers go out the Greenville hub due to, too much work for the lil pay and no help. Even the merchandiser had quit cause it's too much but for some odd reason the Durham hub didnt care. Even the sellers didnt want to help when they know it was too much. It's sad but maybe the main office or the ones that really care about the turn over rate would see this and would try to make things more easier. I feel bad to the ones that is left and I hate that I had quit but when you start bringing work to home, lack of sleep, and start dealing with your health that's a job that dont need to be worked. I didnt have high blood pressure til 3 months afterwards working there. But I do wish anyone who applied and filled the position the very best.

William barrett: Great!!!!!!!!

Ryan Addy: Delivered Chilled beverages. Nice people in receiving. Fast unload. No vending machines or bathroom in driver ck in area.

Christopher Sousa: Great local spot to buy wine! Kurt is a great guy and very helpful. Also great olive oil for sale up at the front!

Mary Martin: Wonderful place, great selection of wines , comfortable atmosphere to have a glass

David Bethiel: I really like coming here because it has that small local business vibe. It's not like the big marts. It's much more personal.You can always find some of the higher end wines and they have a nice selection from around the world. Anything that they don't happen to have on hand, they're happy to get for you, if it's in distribution.You may pay a few extra bucks... it's not a discount house, but it's reasonable and they'll take excellent care of you.By the way, they added a little sitting area where you can have a drink on tap. It's nice for friends to sit down together, relax and schmooze.

Frank DeVita: Very good selection. Knowledgable, friendly staff/

james stephens: I've shopped the Wine Merchant for over 20 yrs and have always been extremely satisfied. Great knowledgeable staff and always a good selection. Highly recommend them to anyone who loves good wine.

Kyle Dellinger: Great selection and fair prices. Manager was able to locate a selection and order for us.

Lisa K: Excellent choice of wines. Staff is very helpful

Morgan J Cooley: I could hang out here all day

debra schneider: Kurt and Justin rock in their knowledge of beer and wine and in their willingness to please all customers

Steven Mendes: Owners Kurt and Justin make tasting and learning about wines very approachable. Always affable, never snooty.

Sarah Yow: A great place to pick up wine! The man working (I forgot to ask his name) was so friendly and helped me pick out all the wines I needed!

Brady Hedgecock: Helpful staff inside a one room shop with an open layout. Minimalist signs, yet very approachable staff makes for an easy and competitively priced shopping experience. Tastings are free every Saturday 12-4

David Franklin: The Wine Merchant is the friendliest wine store you'll ever come to love. Friends congregate here for a glass of wine or beer, open a bottle from the shop to share, or occasionally bring in food to share, or even invite their dog (well-behaved) to socialize. Tables, wine and beer taps and a TV in the back create a nice social atmosphere, where you'll see familiar faces happy to welcome a new acquaintance or folks enjoying the big game. Their weekly tastings (most Saturdays from 12-4 pm) are always a nice time to come in and get a feel for the shop.Now, about the service...Kurt and Justin have spent years curating relationships with small producers and their distributors across the globe to bring us unique wines in every price range. They're happy to help you find a wine to pair with your next cooking occasion, and are very considerate about choosing wines in your price range (mine is modest). They'll also help you pick out a case if they've learned your tastes, or even choose a case for you, when you're enjoying time with friends.Kurt and Justin support the idea that learning about wine makes you enjoy it more, and allow customers to bring in unique wines collections to open and share with patrons.Cya at the Merch!

mike karakostantis: Excellent customer serviceA Great Selection of wines,and I’m happyI found some Greek Wines. Opa

Ruth Aka: Nice selection, great prices, knowledgeable staff. Very happy and pleased!

Madi: Everyone is so nice and informative. I go for the cbd products and any questions I have they are able to address!

F Schmidt: The best wine store east of the Mississippi!....The staff is spectacular and incredibly well knowledgeable. They treat you like family. If your buying liquor you have to go to ABC....but if you want anything else, go to Triangle Wine!

Austin Semmel: Good selection. On multiple occasions, they have been the only location with a specific bottle I was looking for in the triangle (per wine searcher). Friendly inside and helpful as well if you aren’t looking for something specific.

Creek Side: Knowledgeable and fun people at the shop. Fulfilling place to shop and stop in for a glass of wine or a cold craft beer

Lori Petta: Good service, great selection.

Peter Del Sordo: Great selection of craft beer and wine!

Be Joie: My favorite people work here! Chris the owner always has a smile for you. Nikki is a bundle of sunshine and knowledgeable about wines. Johnny the bartender is sweet and knows his beers. Love this place!!

Angel Jenkins: Everytime I go into triangle wine they give me the best customer service! And their wine selection is outstanding. Also if you aren’t sure of the wine you can try it out in their wine tasting.

Jeanne Frederic: Thank you Nikki Stranger for all of the your effort in making the Christmas gift for my nephew special! Twice you have come through for me!👍🏻☺️

MATTHEW BRAUNSTEIN: Much smaller beer selection than the others

Wanda Ruggiero: Prices are not comparable to other wine stores, very expensive! Also their customer service is sub-par to say the least! Do yourself a favor and go to Total Wine and More and you will definitely see the difference in the prices and customer service!

Ian and Liz Plane: Expensive. Same stuff at Total wine $4 per bottle less

Sam Dwyer: Johnny, Matt and Chris serving from the bar area were great.

James Elliott: Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Daniel Wilkerson: Found a nice selection of Ciders.

Stellan De Santis: We worked with Nikki and the other staff at the Waverly Place location to plan a surprise birthday party for our grandma on 6/19/22. Not only did Nikki help us pick out fantastic wines, she also went above and beyond to help us set up for the event with getting snacks, decor and flowers for the table. We had such a great time in their private event room which was really affordable. We ended up picking 6 wines and doing a blind tasting where we had our family guess where the wine was from and the price. It was really fun and interactive. We will certainly be visiting again soon :) Thank you to everyone who made our grandma's birthday so special!

John Pearson: Great staff and environment for a beer. Staff is always helpful with wine selection.

Eric Smith: Nice place with a great variety. Staff is friendly, knowledgable, and eager to help.

David W: Lingua Franca is our favorite of the two. Tom was great to work with and very patient with me. It is nice to have a connection like Tom to make recommendations. My wife and I are both Pinot Noir fans. We plan to make additional purchases with Tom.

A F: Cool place. Like having a local Chambers Street Wines. Tom is a fantastic resource for eclectic wines.

Frederic Simard: Tom takes the guesswork out of wine selection and puts the pleasure in discovering excellent wines!

Blair Tanner: Apex Fine Wine has changed its name to Apex Wine Solutions. This company has, by far, the widest selection of high quality to ultra-premium wines in the Triangle. Ordering is done online; wine can be obtained by arranged pickup or delivery. The store is co-owned by both wine buying experts and a master sommelier. I have been buying wines from one of the owners for over 10 years with nothing but delightful results. They are not snobby and both owners eagerly share their knowledge, advice and recommendations. I have never had a disappointing experience here. They are located on the second floor of the shops in McGregor Village. Call before going, as all in-store purchases and deliveries are by appointment. I forgot to mention: the prices are spectacular.

William J: Working with Tom was great, far better than any other local wine shop I have encountered in the RTP area. He was professional, knowledgeable, and importantly a really nice guy.

Andrew Dodd: Great wine, great selection and service

Elmo Goss: Great knowledge.

Morgan J Cooley: They know their stuff

Anne Moorer: It's quite a rare find: a well-stocked store with a team of friendly, customer-focused, unpretentious wine enthusiasts who are eager to get you what you want, without judgement, and not push upon you to what they need to sell. I had a unique experience there during a tasting and ended up buying a case in the end, all because of the exemplary service, obvious expertise, and customized attention to detail. I truly felt like I was the only customer they had or cared about, even though I know they are well known for their uncanny ability to source prized and elusive bottles from all over the world for their wide range of elite and next door clients, alike. I would recommend this store and its team to anyone looking to learn more about this industry and its products - their passion and dedication to you as a patron is simply unparalleled in the market. Well worth the trip and experience!

Tyler Staverman: Great selection and staff

Robert Blevins: Always have what I want

Levon Martin: Outstanding small wine store. They specialize in smaller wineries from around the world. They do a lot of mail order business.

Jennifer Bunn: Eric is the best! Bring your wine needs here.

Ashley Gaudino: Eric and Zack are professional, knowledgable and accommodating. We purchased a case (two half cases) of wines for our wedding at the Mayton Inn. Eric helped us select the wines we ordered from him - and gave us advice on wines we purchased elsewhere! Zack went as far as to take ALL of the wine we provided the day prior, stored it properly (chilled the whites,) and made sure the bars were well stocked throughout the wedding. Zack and Eric also host tastings and event at the Mayton; we highly recommend this company for all of your wine needs.

Elizabeth Baldwin: What a gem! Eric and Travis are fantastic, and the wine selection is truly fabulous. Small producers from all over the world. They have a really interesting collection, many types of wine not available anywhere else in the area. I learn something new every time I go in, and always walk out with something delicious!

Art Swanson: Eric is fantastic and has an incredible selection of wines at a great value. The staff will work with you and your preferences and can introduce you to new wines and regions. Highly recommended!

Laura Baker Campbell: Best wine store in Apex. I've been a regular customer for years, and they know my tastes. Based on that, they always point out new varieties they know I'll like. Five stars.

Dave Allison: Probably the premier place to get high end wine and advice in the area. Do they have 25,000 wines, no! but with only one or two people working, you get top notch advice (not some shelf stocker). Their tasting room - Barley & Vine - is a small intimate place to sit with a friend and relax over a wine or beer. Get on their emailing list for free tastings times.

vivian jones: Called to place an order and the owner was very rude and acted like I was bothering him, so so rude, and when I asked why are you talking to me like that, he said he has other issues he is dealing with and if I was not going to order pre-sale wines by the cases, he will not deal with me, I also asked him for his wine list and he did not even want to get my email address to email it to me, eventually he did and then told me that he will send me the list whenever he feels like it, I think he has plenty of money and does not need clients of certain color, there are so many other distributors that we can get our wines from, please change your attitude before you go out of business like the other wine distributors in town.

Luke: My go-to and only wine store - everyone here is extremely helpful, knowledgable, give great recommendations, and are joys to talk to. All the wine here is well curated and well priced!

Tim Knight: I have been coming to the store for years. Even when I have not been to the store for a period of time, they make me feel welcome like a long lost friend. Helpful on questions and knowledgeable. Always good sales going on and special tasting events. Recommend to all levels of wine drinkers.

Christine P: Gene and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The selection is great.

Ray Brown: We orderd a special bottle of champagne from these guys for our neice's 50th birthday celebrations. Its not often you get outstanding service but we need to give a huge shout out to Gene and the team for not only delivering but beautifully packaging the gift. Thank you all for your amazing service and style.

Kostyantyn Hrytsenko: Good selection. Tried to order from Ukraine for my friend in US. Though I had some miscommunication. Hope it will be better next time.

Tom C: Great selection. A staff that knows wine..

Brian Whitfield: Great store owner is super cool. They have a great selection of wine and craft beers as well

Dianne VanBeber: Amazing selection of champagne for this part of the country. Also great customer service.

Joe Donahue: Good local wine shop with a knowledgable and friendly staff. I like to try different lower to mid price wines beyond my current collection and Napa favorites..

Darlene Tian: It's the best wine store in Cary! Customer service, selection, price points and wine tastings are top notch.

David Nershi: Great Grapes is an excellent wine shop no matter your level of wine knowledge. If you are new to wine, knowledgeable staff can guide you to just the right choice in a variety of price points. If you are wine savvy, you'll be delighted.I particularly enjoy their backroom where they have deep discounts and odd lots. It's a great place to score a bargain.Whether you searching for an expensive Barlolo or a Thursday night sipper, this is the place. You'll find quality international and domestic wines often at lower prices than the "beverage" wines sold in the grocery store. There are plenty of deals too.I always look forward to my visits to Great Grapes. I know you'll be pleased when you visit.

Margaruite Allen: Helpful staff. Good selection of French wines.

James Hong: Nice selection of domestic and imported wines. Good prices, deals on multiple bottle purchases. Some tastings available. Was just browsing.

Genesis Jaquez: I came here looking for a specific type of wine, but they didn’t carry it. The man helping me (not sure if he was the owner or regular employee) was quite rude, and he asked me if I was going to come back if he ordered a case for me. I assured him I would, gave him all of my information, but I was never contacted. I’m a very loyal customer whenever I feel a place appreciates my business, and unfortunately this place won’t ever get my business because of this.

Jeff K: This place is a hidden gem. The staff are some of the most knowledgeable and passionate people in the wine business. They have a great selection of natural wines and the store is brilliantly merchandised. In addition to a great selection of wines from around the world they have a small but well curated collection of craft beer, cheese, balsamic vinegars and olive oil. This is exactly the kind of place every town without a great wine shop wishes they had.

Be Joie: Excellent customer service! Great Selections. Gene is a treasure. Support local businesses!

Jennifer Marshburn: I've always loved this place, but since they've expanded and added a room of special deals, I can afford to go here so much more often. Everyone is willing to help and Gene has never failed to give excellent recommendations! If I were to improve it I would add a wine bar so I could get even more time to chat wine!

Ann D: Great selection and staff.

Onsilius Nobloc: I like community wine shops. The interaction is warm, and service is more personal than the big stores. The plaza it's in has a lot of great, local shops of quality.

Colin Miller: Great selection. Great people. Great experience. Go here on a weekly basis
