A MESSAGE FROM CHRISTINE & BOB ABOUT THE BOTTLE SHOP

Welcome to our wine shop! These bottles are from winemakers who care as much about the environment as do the local farmers who grow our food-that's a good place to start.

When we drink wine, we want something unique: a landscape, a particular expression or history that the winemaker intends to come through in the glass. We mapped out the wine shop, from New Zealand to the Pacific Northwest, because climate and geography tell a story, in the hands of a good winemaker. What better way to learn about wine than by exploring winemaking regions of the world, all under one roof!

​Whether for refreshment, a perfect pairing for a special meal, or just to celebrate, the VB Bottle Shop invites you into a world of small-scale winemakers who are passionate about what they do.

Christine Hughes and Bob O’Neil are co-owners of Athens' Village Bakery & Café, home of the Bottle Shop. Need a wine suggestion or have a question? Send them an email!
