It's Our Party and We'll Pour What We Want To

We turn 19 on Monday!

On a Friday morning in 2006, there was a budburst - Artisan Wine Shop opened its doors to the Beacon community. With its roots on Main Street, fruit and flower quickly set and the shop began to flourish, aided by the tender care and nourishment of our friends and neighbors. You poured into us, and we were honored to reciprocate the gesture. We are beyond humbled to be blessed with the opportunity to continue that tradition day after day.

We've grown up together. We've harvested life's bounties, weathered the variabilities of vintages, and ripened into ourselves, always with the support of the community that welcomed us into their ecosystem all those years ago. We've navigated the cycles of joy and grief together; whether we floated over to 'sparkling' to find the ideal grower champagne to toast to 30 years with your beloved, walked through 'crisp' to source the perfect patio pounder for your first family pool party, or wrapped a bottle meant to express your bereavement when the words haven't quite come yet. No matter the occasion, we are here for you, just as you have been for us.

For that, and so much more, we thank you.

So let's have a drink! We may be a few days early, but who doesn't love an excuse for a party? Okay, "party" might be stretching it, but there will be wine and an extra 15% off any bottle we have opened that you particularly vibe with.

But wait! What are we drinking? Well, each member of staff has quite the particular wine energy that resonates with them the most and we wanted to share that with you. See below for what the heck we're talking about.
