Wine Shop, LLC

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. Low risk, high reward, high joy sipping. New Albany is a great place to live, and our mission is to help grow a community ecosystem that encourages its residents to stay and invest back into the community they live in when it's time to work and play.
