Femi Oyediran, co-founder of Graft Wine Shop in Charleston, shares his go-to bottles for summer
GRAFT WINE SHOP IS A VIBRANT, intimate wine destination on Charleston’s King Street. Founded in 2018 by sommeliers Femi Oyediran and Miles White, Graft offers sustainably produced Old and New World wines, along with vinyl records and a laid-back atmosphere.
Thanks to its knowledgeable staff, tasty snacks (as well as its new pizza shop, Tutti, right next door), rotating playlists, and an ever‑changing, thoughtfully curated wine list, Graft makes wine approachable and fun. V



We asked Femi for his can’t-beat bottles to beat the heat:
Domaine Lampyres Point-Triple »
Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Femi’s Note: “Orange is a category that’s here to stay. Here’s one of my favorites if you want to drink something with some color and some flavors you won’t find in your everyday glass of white wine.”
Heidi Schrock More Is More Pinot Blanc »
Leithaberg, Austria
Femi’s Note: “A multi-dimensional blend of a few aromatic varieties from one of Austria's leading growers. It’s clean, refreshing, and extremely dry.”
Marsanne Estate Âmevive »
Santa Barbara, California
Femi’s Note: “An unctuous (who doesn’t love that word?) and perfectly perfumed white wine that tastes like white flowers, blood-orange, and sunshine. Made from regeneratively farmed grapes in Santa Barbara.”
Sarris Winery Robola »
Kefalonia (Cephalonia), Ionian Islands, Greece
Femi’s Note: “I just spent a couple of weeks in Greece and confirmed this light and delicious white from Cephalonia is your one-way ticket to a Mediterranean getaway.”





Vessel issues and the features within continue to set a tone for me, a really good tone. Thanks for all of it.
