Wine Sense Featured in Beverage Retailer Magazine!
We have a new cover girl at Wine Sense. Our own Kristin VandenBrul is featured on the cover of “Beverage Retailer” a widely read industry publication. Accompanying Kristin’s glamour shots is an article about how she started the store and her business philosophy.
Oddly, the writer must have had a bit too much wine because she writes that Wine Sense is located on Park Avenue in New York City. No, we haven’t moved. She just perhaps didn't remember that she and the photographer came to Rochester to interview Kristin.
Stop by the store to read all about Kristin’s adventures in the Big Apple.

Name All the Animals, by Alison Smith: Book Signing and Wine Tasting
We love acclaimed author, Brighton native & Mercy High School Alumnus Alison Smith and were so excited to have her at Wine Sense to present her debut Novel. A good time was had by all. Everyone agrees that we should have more book signing events at Wine Sense (and Alison says that she might have to start insisting that wine be served at all of her book signings). Name All the Animals has received rave reviews from The New York Times Book Review, Newsweek, People, Oprah Magazine, Barnes and Nobles, and The Publishing Triangle. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is a beautiful story about loss, self-discovery, and coming out. If you haven't read it yet, pick up a copy and enjoy (you will not be able to put it down)! -Kristin Vanden Brul, Proprietor of Wine Sense
