Wine Shop was designed with the desire to create vibrant community spaces for residents to live, work & play. Wine Shop will introduce our customers to new and exciting flavors in a welcoming and accessible space to try new things and find old favorites.Wine Shop aims to connect community and open up the world of wine in a way that is fun, engaging and welcoming!Founded in 2022 by friends and partners Lauren VanCleave & Jason Searby, Wine Shop has over 35 years of combined wine, spirits and hospitality and retail management experience.When Lauren moved back from NYC and Jason moved to New Albany from Chicago they were frustrated with having to cross the bridge for wine, light grocery and party needs. The friends decided to join together to bring their love of larger city boutique bodega experiences, and elevated accessible gathering spaces to New Albany.
