What does a legal background have to do with running a wine and cheese shop?
Quite a bit, as it turns out.
A recent WashU profile highlights Vijay Shroff’s path from law to purchasing The Wine & Cheese Place from founder Amos Kedmey—and how that experience continues to shape how we operate today. Thoughtful decision-making, strong partnerships, and a long-term view aren’t just business principles; they’re part of how we serve our customers every day.
It’s a perspective we’re proud of, and one that continues to guide how we grow.
