Shop small, do big things for your community

Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story!

You're IT Sipstirs!
 
Three questions with David M. Wagner owner of Sipstirs.
 
Why did you start your business?
 
After spending close to 15 years in the industry both as an importer/supplier and wholesaler/distributor I felt that there was something missing in supporting the family owned and smaller wineries, distilleries and breweries.  Treating clients as honored guests defines the business approach of Sipstirs. Offering an array of fine wines artisanal spirits & craft brews, with a focus on smaller, family-owned wineries/distilleries/breweries. The shop's renovations set the stage for a strong inviting presence in the area.  Sipstirs offers events and promotions set to introduce clientele to the ever changing world of various libations.

How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?

After joining the Darien Chamber of Commerce, the shop has partnered with various local business for tastings and events.  To name a few: Darien Cheese, The Bar Method, Club Pilates, Equinox, AFA Homes w/ Real Estate agent Janine Vairo.  

We have also hosted various Mom’s Night Out and partners with some of the local parents' programs as well giving to the local charities throughout town. 

What is your best selling product/service?

The monthly wine club is a great introduction to the shop.  It offers a variety of opportunities to get in involved with our approach.  Here is how it works:

Join Sipstirs monthly wine club and receive 15% off an entire month of selections.

There are multiple memberships and the opportunity to receive all 8 wines.

There are two ways (and both make great gifts!)
