This Midtown Savannah wine shop deals exclusively in the wines of Europe and the Med. Boasting a cellar of some 4,500 bottles, proprietor Christian Depken stocks mostly French wines — but offers a good selection from the vineyards of Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

I can drone on and on about why you should shop here — but I will only say that Christian’s uniquely personal touch, wine knowledge and philosophy will make you a believer in his business model.

Join me and other serious wine lovers at Le Chai (pronounced, shay), 2421 DeSoto Lane, in the Starland district. 912.713.2229.
