Wine Down Wednesday
By: Shannon Evans
Although my next adventure is taking me to Jamaica, I still had Portugal and great wines on my mind when I showed up to Hartsfield-Jackson for my latest flight. Porto taught me that there is no bad time for a glass of vino (who am I kidding … I already knew this). However, Porto did remind me that I should enjoy it everywhere.
Atlanta’s airport has no shortage of great places to have a glass of wine. Here are just a few, especially if you’re close to the International Terminal:
The Market by Food & Wine: How did I not know before now that this even existed? I loved the warm feel of this concept. They have a great selection of food to pair with their wine. There also is a seating area off to the side that makes for great people watching while sipping your libations.
Location: D Centerpoint
The Club at ATL: This is one of my favorite airport haunts. It’s a great place to get a little work done before a flight or, of course, grab a glass of wine. The Club cleverly curated their wine offerings by pairing each selection with a nonprofit organization. For example, you can have a glass of Joel Gott Merlot and benefit children’s hospitals at the same time. How’s that for drinking with a purpose? I continued my preflight ritual by having a glass of bubbly in honor of fighting childhood hunger.
Location: F Mezzanine
