Parker’s Table

First class wine and cheese shop. I love this place, it is so warm and friendly inside I just want to hang out there. It is a beautiful shop and the people that work there are just as lovely. I have bought some really great reasonably priced wine. Once I bought some odd and ends and mentioned it was a gift and they totally put it together and wrapped it so nicely. It is a little bit hidden as it is off the main road on Clayton next to the hospital behind the Dry Cleaners.

What a lovely shop! I spent an early evening here as part of a work bonding experience and it was like an über-​relaxing happy hour. My actual Über got us there almost half an hour late so we arrived to multiple meats, cheeses, nuts, and snacks spread out for us. As the night progressed we got to sample various wines and hear from one of the managers who led us on our journey. If you don’t know where to begin when you come in, talk to the staff — they will surely be able to set you in the right direction.
In between wine courses I did some exploring of the shop and loved the little details like the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and the dollhouse in the closet (just trust me on this — it’s somewhere between totally creepy and sweet for the kids). I also can’t get over the adorable little delivery truck out front.
If you find yourself at Parker’s, be sure to pick up their honeyed fig spread — I am still thinking about it a month later.

What can I say about this place? Seriously, I love it. It’s local, which is really nice. It has a great selection of wines and staff that is knowledgeable of the wines. It’s got homemade pastas. It’s got a good selection of cheese. They have a great selection of whiskey and some beer. To top all of this off, if you need to special order a wine (like me) they will do that for you. PS: I just found out that they could do this today and didn’t try this time, so don’t ask me how the process goes.
I love all the options available and would love to try more of their selections of wines at some point in time. They give out samples every time you come in, so you can taste something and be inspired as to what to get. The day I went, they had a rose wine, which was a little dry at first but had a good flavor. I saw a couple of wines that I wanted to try here, but sadly my budget and purpose wasn’t allowing me to buy for myself this time. Another time, I came in curious and got a pineapple mascato. That was really good. I loved it.
The guy that was helping me was super awesome. He tried to look a few things up for me, which was really nice of him. I told him my wine problem and he started to look. He couldn’t find any, but that’s when he told me about the ordering thing. Day made.
Parking is street, but don’t let that stop you. It’s a decent amount and it’s not bad either.
Would I come back? Yes. I need to order my wine for all things good and moral in the world.

Fun spot to grab a hard to find beer, or wine! if you need help pairing it with some fine cheese or crackers they have those too!
The staff was super nice as we did a wine tasting. Lots of great info, and I learned a ton about wine! The snacks that came with the tasting were also awesome! As a vegan I did not get to try everything but even for little old me, there was plenty of salty snacks to consume while trying various glasses of wine from around the world!
The store has a really great set up, and I really love the Tea section! This was a blast!

So, we were staying at the Chesire and walking around and found the Parker’s Table right down the street. It was closed, but they let us in, and let us buy some wine and gave us some bread and a bottle opener! This place is first class! For all your wine needs (and they have beer), we highly recommend this place. The owner was friendly and we talked for some time. Go here for your wine and fresh baked bread!!!

They have a great array of Italian pastas I haven’t seen anywhere else, plus other unusual items, all reasonably priced. Also looks like a good cheese counter, which I will come back to sample. Fun to shop here even if you don’t buy wine!

One of my new favorite places. Friendly knowledgable staff, great prices and a nice selection of my favorite things. The gift wrapping is awesome. My gift giving just got a lot classier!

Hard to explain how welcoming and comfortable this place is. There is generally somebody handing out samples of wine (small glasses for you to carry around while you shop) without any pressure to buy the wine (although it’s always good). There’s fresh bread just as you walk in. Granola from Anne Croy of Pastaria and lots of other local and imported goods. A small but well-​curated selection of liquor. A very friendly meat and cheese counter. The beer selection has also grown to where you can have a good option for anything you like – IPAs, sours, local beer, etc. There’s also a VERY cool little hideout for kids to play in. Just a great place.

Parker’s Table has my business for life.
Their customer service is truly unparalleled. The small, consistent staff is welcoming, hospitable, helpful, and knowledgable. Nearly every time I have stopped in, Mr. Parker has greeted me personally and offered a sample of something delicious. Other staff members are never too far to answer a question or help me find something. They have never failed to guide me to great wines, even with my minimal budget.
Wine aside, I’ve come to love stopping in to pick up beer, cheese, coffee, handmade pasta, and Clementine’s ice cream. A good deal of my holiday gifts came from Parker’s Table this year, which they beautifully wrapped for no extra charge.
Their inviting space keeps changing and growing for the better. The table area at the back makes it feel more like a friend’s dining room than a shop. Being treated like a friend adds to the allure.
Whatever you’re looking for, try Parker’s Table first.

Warm, friendly service and an impressive selection. I was surprised to find robiola at the cheese counter!
And I may or may not have eaten half a baguette from here during the walk home.
Kicking myself for not stopping by sooner.

Parker’s Table is seriously your one stop shop for your specialty grocery needs. Okay, so maybe they don’t have that one random ingredient you need but they have a ton of specialty options.
Wines, cheese, homemade noodles, chocolates, meats… the list goes on. I like to think of it as the perfect place to buy ingredients for a romantic dinner Italian dinner.
The staff here is truly amazing. The owner and employees greet me warmly every time I stop by and have even offered me wine before. When your’e shopping here, you feel like you’re in a friendly neighborhood store. I get excited just walking in the door. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t been yet. It’s an awesome shop and great experience.

I could not love Parker’s Table more than I do; I live less than a minute away and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. I stop in maybe every other week for various things, and I always find exactly what I’m looking for.
I usually stop by to stock up on wine because I can never have enough in my house, and the selection is pretty unbeatable. They have little carts with wine boxes on top that you can push around, which is so much easier than trying to hold it all. The best part, though? You’ll usually be handed a small glass to taste as you’re walking around. Are you sold yet? They have a nice range of prices, but I always find plenty in that $ 25 – 30 range that don’t break the bank. Every wine I’ve tried from this place has been incredible.
There’s much more than wine, though. I recently had a holiday brunch party and was able to create an awesome bloody mary bar using a ton of things from Parker’s Table. They sell an amazing spicy bloody mary mixer, great pickles, olives, and all kinds of things that are perfect for a party.
A few other words of wisdom:
–Check out the cheese counter, you will not be disappointed
–If you need a host/​hostess gift, this place has you covered — grab a bottle of wine and one of their unique chocolate selections
–If you need to create a gift basket, you can hand-​pick whatever you want and they’ll wrap it up beautifully
–The metered parking outside is a little weird, but I never pay and have never gotten a ticket (I live on the wild side)
–The staff is the friendliest I’ve ever seen, and will carry your heavy box of wine to your car
When I think of shopping local, this place is first on my mind. Add it to your list and you’ll be hooked for life.

Every time I’m at my Schnuck’s down the block and find myself with a bottle of wine in my hand, I think of Parker’s Table and immediately put it back. You just can’t compete with the prices, knowledge and treatment that you find here. Absolutely great experience every time, this is exactly the type of small business we should be supporting.

this place keeps getting better. the owner has made some great adds since re-​opening, to include a beer selection, cheese counter and even homemade pasta and other artisanal culinary treats. we were immediate offered a taste of the featured wine upon arrival, and the staff was well-​informed, confident in their recommendations, but respectful and not arrogant (as, let’s be honest, some employees can be at places like Parker’s.)
Go here and buy yourself a special treat.

Really nice! Apparently, this place has been around for a few years, and I can’t believe I never really noticed it until now.
I was having a major craving for brie cheese (it’s my new favorite thing right now!), so I decided to stop by to see what kinds of things they had. Sure… I knew I could go to Whole Foods and get some killer brie, but I prefer to support local businesses when I can.
Anyway, I walked into the store, and it didn’t take long until I was greeted by a friendly worker. He directed me towards the cheese counter, where the friendly guy asked me what I was looking for.
They didn’t have brie at the time; Camembert was all they had. I didn’t think I had tried that before, so he gave me a sample. I fell in love, and bought 4 ounces of it (which is a surprisingly huge hunk!) for around 5 dollars.
There was a huge basket full of really delicious tomatoes at the checkout counter, and before I left, the cashier gave me a few tomatoes free of charge. Really nice!
I took off one star, because there are meters at the entrance where you have to pay for parking. I think that’s kind of weird.

Phenomenal one-​stop shop for wine, liquor, fresh cheese and awesome variety of crackers and breads… Great service with an awesome old-​school feel! This is where you come to start your night off on a smooth note, or where you go before a romantic picnic or winery tour to get quality cheese and other nibbles.
Only wish I lived in town, or had something similar to this near me… I noticed the pricing was a slight bit higher than your bargain store, but I didn’t find it that to be an issue considering the convenience of the other items which are available here.
Walked out with two ¼ lb slices of different cheeses, English bath oval crackers, and a bottle of Dante. Wassup!

This place is the greatest. From knowing exactly what you want walking in the door, to having no clue but needing/​wanting something nice (bonus, something «nice» isn’t exclusively expensive), Parker’s Table is the place for you!
The people here are incredibly helpful and super friendly.
There are not enough good things to say, other than my expectations have been met and surpassed every time I’ve been there.

We love this little store. It’s in a very cool old building, which was probably a market in the 30’s and 40’s (I seem to recall reading it was a Tom-​Boy grocery at one time). Very inviting. They have a great selection of wine, cheeses and other specialty foods. I assumed everything would be high-​priced, being in such a cool spot in Clayton (I think). We were pleasantly surprised to see a great selection of wines in all prices. They also had a few bottles open for tasting — all new to me and all very good.
The staff was very knowledgeable on wines and got us to a few bottles in the style and price range we preferred. We didn’t ask about anything else, but I’m guessing you wouldn’t get a dumb look here. It’s clear they put a priority on quality.
We bought a few bottles of wine and some local honey. We also left wishing we lived closer.

First off: you think this is going to be really expensive. In fact, you might not even step into the place because you’re thinking hoity-​toity, budget-​killer, probably pretentious.
Actually, the prices are fine. Compare it with Schnucks (let alone Whole Foods) and you’ll see you are getting your money’s worth.
Of course you won’t find many of these items at Schnucks or even Whole Foods. Salume Bude meats? No way. Local cheeses plus artisanal cheeses from Italy and Spain? Not likely. The chocolate, the pasta — all are distinctive.
Yes, some things are insanely expensive. But the owner is incredibly UN-​pretentious and eager to find you stuff that fits your budget while stretching your palate.
Go and this place will quickly become a (good) habit.

Locally-​owned, well-​stocked, and super friendly wine & specialty foods shop in a convenient location? Yes, please! Parker’s Table is a wonderful place to pick up some wine– plenty of advice on hand from Jon Parker (the owner) who is usually around and staff! They often have special tastings of wine, cheeses, and more and typically have a couple wines you can taste on the weekends!
This is a gem of a spot to get introduced to items such as squid ink pasta! Yum with seafood, garlic, and virgin oils. Prices range from very cheap to kinda pricey with plenty in between. Your wallet will fit in regardless of of thickness.
I HIGHLY recommend and frequent this establishment! I heart Parker’s Table.
