During her career as a flight attendant, owner Shari J. Webster, discovered the pleasures of good wine and foods from all over the world. With a great curiosity about wines and winemaking, Shari began to visit vineyards in many countries and collect wines. As her personal collection grew, she realized that here, at home in Mobile, on Alabama's Gulf coast, fine wines and gourmet foods were scarce.

Driven by her zeal to share her interest in wines and unusual gourmet foods with friends in her community, Shari opened her Gourmet Galley in November, 1999. This exciting, attractive, gourmet store with "lots of good things" to try, includes an inventory of foreign and domestic wines and wine accessories such as the famous Riedel glassware. Also stocked are champagnes, imported beer, unusual and hard-to-find cheeses, oils, spices and special items for ambitious cooks, packaged gourmet foods, fine imported chocolates, coffees, teas, and much, much more.

Select any of the items in our inventory and we will expertly combine them in a Gourmet Galley gift basket, or have us send a readymade "themed" basket when time is of the essence. When your company/school plans special promotions, we can custom print your logo on food packaging. Delivery and shipping is available.

Gourmet Galley hosts several specialized promotional tastings throughout the year so that customers can get to know wines, "a taste at a time". The "Galley" also will host private wine and beer tastings that can be tailored to your entertainment needs.

Gourmet Galley, located at 6808 Airport Boulevard (across from Providence Hospital), is open Monday through Saturday 10- 6. Call 251-343-3555 for more information. Our Toll free number is 1-866-631-9463(WINE) or email gourmetgalleys@comcast.net
