You will be helped by OWNERS only.
Sang K Chhoeuk Owner and Wine Apprentice
Sang is originally from Cambodia and
was sponsored & brought over to America through local charities here in Worcester. He then grew up just two houses
down from The Wine Vine in Worcester & went to Doherty High School and has a Bachelor of Finance from Nichols College.
He worked two jobs to put himself through college at night and is where Sang & Camille met. After their long days
of work and night school they often would go out at night for dinner and a glass of wine where they realized that they both
shared a common love for good wine & good food but wanted to be able to share it with others in a comfortable and friendly
atmosphere which is what inspired them to some day open their own wine boutique that will offer great & affordable
to collectable wines that all can enjoy in a relaxing, warm & welcoming environment. He brings his many
years of cost accountant expertise along with his personable service where his love for wine comes to life.
He has been certified as an official Wine Apprentice by "The Wine Spectator" for his gained knowledge
of the wine industry. He is constantly following, studying & researching newest wines & is well apprised
of good vintages and is well known for finding & special ordering hard-to-find wines for his customers. All
wine is personnally hand-picked & tasted before carefully considering bringing the wine into The Wine Vine's portfolio.
Sang's real gift is not only knowing his customers by their names, but also listening, learning & understanding their
likes & dislikes so he is able to find just the right wine for their individual palates with his friendly & down-to-earth
approach.
