For the adventurous
in spirit
Samantha and Anup Patel are no strangers to hard work and perseverance. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, the couple learned early on the value of grit, determination, and vision. Their journey in business has been marked by their ability to see potential where others might see only challenge—transforming a nearly forgotten hotel into a thriving establishment before moving on to their next great venture: CAP'S Wine & Spirits.
Bettering Brentwood
Now, the Patels are turning their attention to another community staple with deep roots in the region: Brinkmann's Wine & Spirits in Brentwood, Tennessee. This beloved local store has served the community for decades, but as times change, so too does the need for fresh energy and vision. With a new name, CAP'S Wine & Spirits, Samantha and Anup are bringing their signature brand of hard work, attention to detail, and inclusive spirit to the world of fine wines, spirits, and craft beers.
Rebuilding a hotel
The Patels' entrepreneurial spirit was honed through years of experience in various industries, but it was in hospitality that they truly proved their mettle. A few years ago, they took on the monumental task of reviving a dying hotel in Manchester, TN. The hotel, once an iconic local spot, had fallen into disrepair and was on the brink of closure. But Samantha and Anup saw something others didn’t. Through meticulous renovation, exceptional service, and an eye for detail, they breathed new life into the property. Under their leadership, the hotel regained its stature, becoming a vibrant gathering place for locals and visitors alike. After a successful run, they sold the hotel, having fulfilled their mission of restoration and renewal.
The Patels' vision for CAP'S is simple but powerful: to create a welcoming environment where everyone, regardless of background or experience, feels at home. They believe that great products—and great experiences—should be accessible to all, and they are committed to bringing people from all walks of life together over a shared love of quality beverages. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a casual enthusiast, CAP'S Wine & Spirits is a place where you can discover something new, enjoy something familiar, and connect with your community.
At CAP'S, the Patels aim to continue the tradition of excellence that Brinkmann's established while infusing it with their own passion for craftsmanship and customer service. They understand that a great pour is more than just a drink—it’s an experience, a moment to share with others. And they are excited to offer that experience to the people of Brentwood and beyond.
As they settle into this next chapter of their entrepreneurial journey, Samantha and Anup Patel are driven by the same values that have shaped their past successes: hard work, community, and the belief that everyone deserves a pour of something great. CAP'S Wine & Spirits is not just a store—it’s a place where the Patels’ vision of inclusivity and excellence comes to life, one pour at a time.
