Thelma Carol Wine Merchants is a boutique fine wine, spirits, and tobacco shop located in Historic Walker’s Point.

Thelma Carol Wine Merchants is owned by Jerel W. Hall, a certified Sommelier, and his wife, Rebecca Sue Button. With a combination of over 25 years of hospitality, wine, and beverage industry experience, Jerel & Rebecca are thrilled to be living their lifelong dream of opening their own boutique wine business.

Why the name Thelma Carol?

Thelma Carol is the combination of two of our grandmothers’ names: Jerel’s Grandma TJ (Thelma June Harris) was an influential figure throughout his growing up years who exuded next-level patience and understanding, was active in community outreach, and displayed uncommon kind-heartedness. Gramma Carol Bloemke is Rebecca’s grandmother, a matriarch extraordinaire, whose unwavering compassion, courage, and dedication to wisdom continues to be an on-going inspiration to those around her. A common thread of love of books and work with Libraries connects us all and is a prominent characteristic of our shop.

We hold casual, public tastings every other Thursday from 6-8pm. See our calendar.
