Waterford Wine & Spirits

Founded in 2005 by Ben Christiansen, Waterford Wine & Spirits has become a Midwest destination for wine lovers of all kinds. With a team that includes sommeliers, garagista winemakers, second-career enthusiasts, and cheerfully obsessive shelf-stockers, Waterford is more than a store — it’s a vibrant community. Their ever-growing selection is carefully curated to highlight the world’s most remarkable wines, from iconic regions like Bordeaux and Barolo to hidden gems in Santorini or the Willamette Valley. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just wine-curious, Waterford’s team is passionate about sharing their knowledge, offering thoughtful recommendations, and tracking down hard-to-find bottles. Above all, they value the relationships built with their customers — many of whom become friends, collaborators, and fellow adventurers in wine.
