The Bottle Shop in Spring Lake, New Jersey, is a 2nd Generation Wine Merchant owned by the Murray family. In 1972, Tom and Marie Murray moved to the Jersey Shore from Brooklyn, NY, with the dream of establishing a fine wine and cheese shop, while raising their young family in beautiful, beachy Monmouth County. They converted a local liquor store into a vintage wine, cheese and gourmet food shop; an endeavor reported in the New York Times in the summer of 1974. Over the years, Tom and Marie worked side-by-side educating their clients about wine, suggesting food & wine pairings, organizing wine events, discovering the newest wines, and stocking the hardest-to-find, collectible wines on the planet. Today, their three children embody the same spirit, true passion for wine and strong work ethic of their parents. They have taken the family business to a new level shipping wine nationwide.
