The Wine Merchant was founded by Rosemary Hoeffler Van Kirk. With prior experience as the creator of Terwilliger’s restaurant, a wine tasting dinner venue, Rosemary came to understand that food and wine have a special relationship. Today, The Wine Merchant’s knowledgeable staff is recognized for their expertise in pairing wines with food. Rosemary also acknowledged that taste is foremost in our customer’s minds when deciding on a wine selection. Thus, she developed the registered trademark that drives our business: “Taste Before You Buy”. For almost 25 years now, The Wine Merchant has offered a wide selection of premium wines to taste on a daily basis. In 1993 Rosemary’s daughter, Kathee Van Kirk, entered the business after many years of experience at the wholesale level. She is now the President and CEO. In 2006 Lisette Sehlhorst, CPA and a former Deloitte auditor, joined The Wine Merchant as Partner and Vice President. Long-time customer Dan Anderson joined The Wine Merchant team in 2005 and provides a friendly, knowledgeable face behind the tasting bar. Artist Emily Law joined the team in 2006, serving as newsletter publisher, gift basket coordinator and creative mind around the store.
