For a small wine shop that opened in downtown Concord just two years ago, recognition from customers across the Charlotte region is becoming something of a tradition.

Cellar Door Wine Shop has earned two medals in The Charlotte Observer’s 2026 Charlotte’s Best Awards, marking the second consecutive year the locally owned business has received honors in the annual competition.
