Norwood's Wine Shop

Florida's Most Extensive Value Priced Wine Selection

Merely continuing a long tradition of fine dining at Norwood's wasn't enough for owner Don Simmons. Having a long time interest in wine, he began to expand the inventory of wine available at Norwood's and took on the project of developing Norwood's into one of America's top purveyors of the vintner's art. But the real breakthrough had less to do with wine and more to do with Norwood's family loyalty.

In 1989, Aunt Belle, a longtime fixture as Norwood's Hostess, was no longer able to physically manage her duties, yet wanted to remain in the Norwood's family. So, Simmons had an addition built on to the restaurant to facilitate his developing interest in wine purveyance and put Aunt Belle in charge. Although Aunt Belle, then 85, is no longer with us, the cozy structure has evolved into a first rate retail wine outlet.

What is Value Pricing?

In the retail wine business a markup of 300% or more is not unusual. Because our Wine Shop is not a stand alone spirits outlet but is complemented by the restaurant, Norwood's has chosen to offer its patrons fine wines at more affordable pricing by reducing the markup. We do, however, levy a corkage fee for vintages consumed with dinner on site. Nevertheless, the combination of value pricing and the choice of consuming your selection off premises, offers the greatest possible return for your wine dollar. More $$$ saved equals more visits to Norwood's! Crazy like a fox…
