Wine Shop Merchandiser Seasonal Day-time hours

Stew Leonard’s WINES began when Stew Leonard, Jr., the CEO and President of Stew Leonard’s food stores and his two sisters, Jill and Beth, and brother, Tom, were sitting at the dinner table. They realized the only item on the table that their business did not sell was the wine. The meal was fantastic, but the wine was just ok. Stew said to his sisters, “We can do better. Don’t you agree?”After seeing the success his sister Beth had opening her store in Yonkers, NY in 1999, Stew decided it was his turn. Stew opened up his store in Farmingdale, NY . Stew himself has studied wine through the Wine and Spirits Education Trust and has travelled to many of the greatest wine regions of the world.
