If you're just looking to grab a bottle and go this may not be the shop for you. BUT if you're looking for a consistent selection of new wines at great prices this IS the shop that tops all others in Nashville. The key? Get on Hoyt's email list. He'll keep you informed 7-10 times a week on new wines he is bringing in. His knowledge can be trusted. And every wine he offers through his emails is discounted. I visit Napa/Sonoma twice a year and buy while I'm there. I'm a member of three wine clubs. I rarely buy something I haven't tasted or read about in Wine Spectator or Enthusiast (subscribe to both). 90% of everything I buy locally is from Hoyt. Village Wines is for the wine buyer that really cares about the WINE and not how much he/she can drink to get plastered.
Pros: Consistent new selction at great prices
Cons: smaller in-store selection
