Keith Rector of Uncorked Fine Wines, Spirits & Beer - Featured Wine-O (Published 2/18/2014)

Keith Rector formerly served as the state manager for Gallo Winery in Mississippi, overseeing wine sales for over 500 package stores and 16 distributors. In 1997 he transferred to Mobile where he worked as the General Manager inside a distributorship for nine years. In June of 2007, this career wine connoisseur took the plunge and opened Uncorked! Fine Wines on Main Street in Olde Town Daphne. He developed quite a clientele and entertained wine lovers at weekly tastings.
After a successful two years, Keith decided it was time to expand his store front and his offerings. Uncorked Fine Wines moved just a few miles north of their original location to a more visible location on U.S. Highway 98. This past October, Uncorked! moved to its newest location just a little ways south. The store is located in the strip center at the end of the service drive that runs parallel to the main highway.
With the move, Rector expanded his liquor selection and selection of craft beers. Uncorked has a keg room and there are ten craft beers on tap at all times. You can enjoy them at the bar at the back of the store or take home a growler. They also have kegs to go - 1/2 barrels and 1/6 barrels.
And it seems that looks can be deceptive. Although their new location is smaller, the wine selection has actually increased. Keith covers all the varietals and prides himself on being competitive with his pricing. He also offers a 10% discount on bulk wine purchases of 6 bottles or more. The wine bar is open any time the store is open. Uncorked! offers wines by the glass and on Wednesdays you are invited to “Wine down Wednesdays” with selected labels for just five dollars per glass.
Uncorked! Fine Wines has years of experience in helping customers with their beverage needs for parties and special events. Call Keith for pricing. Uncorked is open Monday through Saturday.
