Executive Assistant & Media Relations Coordinator
The truth is that Laurie is not only an urban chicken farmer, but she also runs everything at the shop except the wine selections. Laurie manages the shop from the events and tasting schedule, to the website, to the pub mix. If it’s important, you might want to talk to Laurie, she’ll know what to do.

“Sunday Doug” The Fill in Guy
We aren’t open on Sundays, but if we were, Doug would be our guy! Doug is a retired physicist who serves a variety of purposes at the shop; like filling-in for vacations, fulfilling special orders, triple checking the accuracy of anything, or just talking about wine with whoever wants to chat. Everyone loves Doug.
