Stella Wine & Spirits was born from a lifelong love of wine, people, and storytelling.

After decades of practicing law in New York, the company’s founder reached a moment many only dream about — retirement. But instead of slowing down, he chose to finally pursue the passion that had quietly shaped his life for years: discovering remarkable wines, sharing their stories, and bringing people together around the table.

Wine had always been more than a beverage to him. It was a way to connect. A way to celebrate. A way to tell stories about families, traditions, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.

The company is named in honor of his Aunt Stella — a woman known for her warmth, generosity, and the way she made everyone feel welcome in her home. Her table was always full, her door always open, and her belief in sharing life’s simple joys left a lasting imprint. Stella Wine & Spirits carries that same spirit forward — welcoming, personal, and rooted in genuine connection.

Today, Stella Wine & Spirits is proudly under new management, led by a husband-and-wife team who share a deep love for wine and the relationships it creates. With great respect for the foundation that was built, they are committed to carrying forward the same thoughtful curation, dependable service, and personal approach that defined Stella from the beginning.

The same care in selecting wines, the same attention to partners, and the same belief in stories behind every bottle continue to guide everything we do — honoring the legacy while thoughtfully growing into the future..
