Beth McCormick and Keith Roberts, owners of Vintage Karma Wine in Huntsville, discuss their journey before opening the wine shop. Beth had a background in designing children's clothes and owned a gift shop called The Cottage Collective. They started selling wine at The Cottage Collective and decided to open a separate wine shop. The build-out process took about three months, and they aimed to create a space where people would want to hang out. The wine shop offers a unique selection of wines and provides a cozy and intimate atmosphere for customers to enjoy a glass of wine. Vintage Karma Wine Studio carefully selects wines from various portfolios and constantly changes its selection to offer new and interesting options to its customers. They also have a menu of wine-based foods, such as flatbreads and charcuterie, to complement the wine-tasting experience.
