STRONGER TOGETHER
HOW GARY’ S WINE & MARKETPLACE’ S FATHER / SON DUO DRIVE EXCELLENCE
BY MELISSA SHERWIN
Gary’ s Wine & Marketplace, our 2021 Retailer of the Year, has been a beverage destination in New Jersey for more than three decades.

At the end of 2019, the idea of developing a West Coast presence in the heart of Napa Valley seemed like an ideal next step. Then Covid-
19 hit, turning the beverage industry( and everything else) upside down. But Gary’ s rose to the challenge, effectively demonstrating how both innovation and experience can make all the difference.
