Purple Corkscrew is a Black woman-owned wine shop and tasting room in Avondale Estates, just outside downtown Decatur — founded in 2012 by sommelier Steffini Bethea to make wine welcoming, not stuffy. Come for a flight, a tasting, or a Thursday-night wine event in a warm, unpretentious room. A DeKalb favorite for wine lovers and newcomers alike.
