CLOVER WINE MERCHANT
907 Carroll St.
WHEN CALIFORNIA COUPLE Michael
and Lannette Tomlin first relocated to
Georgia in 2020, they were looking
for something different. This Southern
town provided them an opportunity
to pursue a life-long dream: sharing
the joys of boutique wines with their
community.
From the moment you walk in the
door, it is obvious that sharing is indeed
at the heart of Clover Wine Merchant.
Lannette welcomes you and pours a
glass of something special, happy to
tell you about what makes each bottle
unique. Michael, a sommelier, offers
monthly educational tastings and
weekend dinners to delight and inspire.
Whether you are just passing through
or opt to sit and sip, they have created
an experience that will have you longing
to share a glass — or a bottle — with
someone you love.
'THERE WERE SOME WHO DOUBTED A BUSINESS LIKE
THIS WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN A SMALL TOWN LIKE
PERRY, BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY THAT OUR FIRST
YEARS HAVE PROVED THAT THERE IS A MARKET FOR
BOUTIQUE WINES HERE. PART OF OUR MISSION IS TO
MAKE FINE WINE RELATABLE AND ACCESSIBLE; WE
WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL AT HOME HERE.'
— LANNETTE TOMLIN, OWNER OF CLOVER WINE MERCHANT
