About Reserve Wine
Club & Tasting

At Reserve Wine we have created a unique wine experience where club members can taste wine before purchasing it, no longer having to rely on a random salesperson’s subjective viewpoint, commission or quota interests. Whether it be through our Coravin program, or the variety of high-end wines in our Enomatic machines, our members can sample wines by the glass in order to determine which to take home, at the best discounted pricing available. Our team with vast wine experience and knowledge will then select additional wines for you to try, based on your preferences, and our private club members also have access to taste and purchase the most premier, hard-to-find, allocated wines. Our ownership and management team have more than 40 years of combined experience in the wine and spirits industry, and we also have a number of Sommeliers and other wine experts who partner with us to provide the most in-depth, current and accurate information about wine. We have access to all of the local distributors of wine who also provide their vast experience and best pricing on all their products based on our ability to pour samples by the glass, so we can offer you the best retail pricing on wine. We are also able to get some of the most rare, hard-to-find and allocated wine and spirits products available in the market.

Jonathan Galaif has 20+ years of extensive sales and marketing experience, combined with a passion for wine and spirits. He developed and launched the initial Reserve Wine membership club 10 years ago, in partnership with several Atlanta area restaurant locations, has worked on the buying side of multiple on premise locations — purchasing from most of the major distributors in the Atlanta market, as well as some of the smaller, boutique suppliers. Jonathan has also been responsible for purchasing and selling wine and spirits at several off premise retail locations as well, and has interfaced directly with both domestic and international wineries, winemakers, suppliers and importers. He opened the initial Reserve Wine retail location in Cumming in 2020, and we have now moved into a much larger location in Johns Creek to accommodate our growing customer base and have the necessary space to provide the unique experience we deliver to our club members. After a successful career in the corporate marketing world, Jonathan passed the Court of Master Sommelier’s Level 1, as well as the Society of Wine Educator’s Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) Exam. He has helped many customers over the past decade with their wine preservation needs, designing and assisting with the buildout of custom wine cellars, also managing and curating wine cellar inventory and management for select customers. Drawn to unique stories about wine and spirits, Jonathan is most passionate when sharing those experiences and tasting the delicious offerings behind those stories.
