A Saugatuck Fine ‘Wine Sellers’ Shop
Every successful small town has shops that seem as if they were created for only that one town. Lucky us, we have over 65 wonderful shops all locally owned and operated. And one of those shops is Wine Sellers of Saugatuck. The store is right downtown near Wickwood Inn. It’s a perfect blend of a wonderful wine store, specialty foods and whimsical gifts. It’s the perfect store for wine lovers – especially with owner and sommelier Mike Gustaitis at the helm.
“Small towns make up
for their lack of people
by having everyone
be more interesting.”
~ Doris “Granny D” Haddock
Mike makes the wine tasting experience come alive for our inn’s guests as well as regular customers. His credentials are many: former Sommelier/Wine Director at Chicago’s Les Nomades, completed and passed numerous courses in the Court of Master Sommeliers, United States and the Chicago Wine School. But it’s his friendly manner that makes Wine Sellers such a wonderful addition to Saugatuck. Are you looking for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc for your picnic at Wick’s Park or a Rosé from Provence for your day on the boat in Lake Michigan? Needing to buy a memorable gift of Michigan wine for a special occasion? Mike can help you out.
It’s wonderful to find a small business so dedicated to educating his customers. Being able to find it in a store right along our very own Butler Street is amazing. Visiting Wine Sellers is a must-do on your visit to Saugatuck.
