About Us

We, The Wine Seller, are a group of misfit do-gooders with super heroic powers that enable us to rid the world of bad wine, yucky beer, fake cheese and imitation cigars.   You may be asking yourself now how such a small group of people located in Williamsburg would be able to do such wonderful things.  The answer is simple: we rock.

All jokes aside, The Wine Seller was started in 1998 by long-time businessman Bill Moore.  After working very, very hard for a large corporation, Bill decided he was tired of his 9-5 lifestyle, so he and his lovely wife (Nancy) retired to Williamsburg.  After settling in their new home, Bill began playing golf and traveling a lot more.  Nancy enjoyed spending time with Bill for a change, and they led a happy life.  About one week after his retirement (just kidding, it was more like two), Nancy decided that Bill needed something more to occupy his time than golf.  Having always loved wine and people, Bill thought that perhaps the natural thing to do would be open a wine store.  So as any businessman would, he thought about it and talked about it and developed a business plan, and in November of 1998 the doors of The Wine Seller opened.  Neither Bill nor Nancy have ever looked back.

Our mission at The Wine Seller is to have fun, encourage you to explore new territory and make sure that we always offer the best values in wine, beer, cigars and cheese.  The shop has grown and changed over the last several years, but that has always been and will always be its focus.  Wine should be simple and fun; we're here to make sure it stays that way.

So the next time you're visiting the Monticello Marketplace, please drop in and say hello.  Ask us about our favorite superheroes, favorite wines or even how we like to make our grilled cheese.

We have fun at work.  Which is understandable considering we work in an atmosphere that's pretty conducive for that kind of thing.  We get to hang out with friends all day, try new wines and beers and continuously sample from Conny's cheese counter.  How could you not love a job like that??   We love The Wine Seller so much that some of us willingly give our paychecks right back to the store (Mike) in exchange for various sundries.  Most of all, we love talking to y'all.  If it's in this store, chances are someone's tried it, which means we really, really know our products.  And trust me, coming to The Wine Seller is kind of like free entertainment; where else can you see a 6'3" bald man (Phil) jump up and down and express his true feelings for Champagne?  It's a scary and sobering image, but hey, it's all in the name of wine.
