The Wine Seller -- Superheros

You could call us a family, but we prefer to be considered as something more like the A-Team. We're the do-gooders who keep people from drinking bad wine, consuming yucky beer, eating Kraft Singles and smoking imitation cigars. We're like our own little band of superheroes.

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.

So scroll on down to put a name and other random trivia with the face of the person who helped you pick out just the right cheese or a "nice red wine that's not too expensive" last week.
