My Story
Newport Wine Cellar emerged out of a passion for food and wine, but also out of a need for conversation about and around a food and wine culture. I love to talk with people about how and why they make wine, how they enjoy it and share it with others, what foods they love to make, and the stories that then emerge from those meals. I opened the shop in 2008 in an effort to inspire and be inspired by these stories.
My philosophy is simple: find unique wines and artisanal foods that are naturally and thoughtfully produced and share those delicious wines with my customers.
I hope to impart to you my passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm, and I hope to do so without the attitude that sometimes accompanies and diminishes food and wine shopping. This is supposed to be fun and nourishing, so it is my aim that you will always leave the shops smiling!
My shops feature high quality, small production, hand crafted, unique wines, craft beers, and boutique spirits, as well as artisanal cheeses and gourmet products from all regions. We offer weekly wine tastings and regular seminars to introduce you to new wines and foods and create a connection within our community.
I look forward to welcoming you to the shops and inspiring you to eat, drink, and think,
