Vinum Wine Shop
Middleton
Vinum Wine Shop is the love child of elementary school teacher Samantha Miller and her husband John, a former flight instructor, who developed a passion for wine. They will pilot you to the perfect small producer pick and then teach you all about it. This June they jetted off to a new location that’s more than twice the size of their original shop, but with the same warm colors and feel.
