OUR STORY · A SOMMELIER, A SHOP
Fourteen years.
One sommelier.
Five-hundred small vineyards.
Vino & Vine opened in 2012 in a wood-floored room on South Congress, with one hundred-and-twenty bottles and a single tasting table that could seat six. The room is bigger now, the bottle count is five times what it was, and the table can seat fourteen on a Friday.
Sloane M., an MS-passed sommelier, owns and runs the shop. Every bottle on the shelf has been tasted by her, by Lin (our cellar manager), or by Ren (our wine-club lead). We don’t carry a wine because it sells — we carry it because we’d open it on a Wednesday at home.
“The best wines come from small places. The best wine shops come from the same.”
— SLOANE M., OWNER-SOMMELIER
