About Sweet Caroline’s

In 1994, my husband Donald, his brother Ron, and I opened The Wine Seller, a small fine wine shop in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Like the grapes in the vineyards, our wine shop took root in the community and grew. For the next twenty years we made wonderful friends, met with authors, celebrities, winemakers, brewmasters, and thousands of wine lovers who shared our passion for fine wine. Along with selling wine, I ran our gift shop, which we whimsically named “Grapes and Gadgets.” I turned my passion and talent for sewing custom made wine bags and totes into a popular attraction at The Wine Seller. Year after year, I created bags for special occasions, holiday cheer, and custom orders for our customers. After we sold The Wine Seller, I continued to make wine bags and totes. They say practice makes perfect and I am still creating and selling wine bags today!

When I was young, my sweet grandmother, Caroline, shared her passion for fabric and sewing, and that connection still inspires me today. That is why my site is proudly called “Sweet Caroline’s Wine Bags.” (Sorry if you can’t get that song out of your head!).

These eco-friendly wine totes are not just gifts to be reused; they are unique, one-of-a-kind treasures to keep and cherish. A Sweet Caroline’s Wine Bag is one of life’s simple pleasures … a gift that speaks for itself and bountifully says Thank You, Congratulations, Happy Anniversary, Happy Birthday, Cheers and so much more.

It all comes together one stitch at a time.
