That value is always passed down to our customers. Sam Messina found himself drawn to the world of wine at the age of 27 when his uncle shared with him a bottle of 1961 Beychevelle, a life-changing experience that ignited his love of wine. Sam took his love of the industry and used that to help grow his family's business, Messina's Liquors, from a beer, liquor and jug wine store, into a successful fine wine destination in the Merrimac Valley for over 25 years. As the manager of the store, Sam not only learned to further hone his skill and expertise in the wine industry, but became keenly aware of the needs and desires of his customers and found himself always shopping the market to find new and amazing wines that he knew his customers would love. In addition to helping customers find the perfect wines for their needs on a daily basis, Sam's expertise is in pairing food with wine for both individual buyers and restaurants. He also has a passion for setting-up and selecting wines for personal wine cellars and has spent significant amounts of time educating consumers on wines, their attributes and the overall industry as a whole. When the Messina family business closed in 2008, Sam wanted to continue to share his experience and, especially, his love of wine. Sam is not only passionate about finding great wines, but really gets a kick out of finding a great wine for an incredible value. Imagine a $6 bottle of wine that tastes like it's worth $25. If it's out there, Sam can find it! The result of Sam's passion is the Wine ConneXtion which brings the concept of fine wines at low prices to Massachusetts and creates an innovative and premier shopping destination for both everyday wine drinkers and collectors alike.
