- General Info
- Main Street Wine & Spirits has been family owned and operated since 1919 close to 90 years. "We've been here a long time, " says owner Bill Goldberg. "We'll be here as long as you are." In 1919, John Goldberg and his brother-in-law bought a little market in a building next door to the current location. They did business at this location for 32 years. In 1949, a fire burned down the building next to this original store. After the fire, John then bought this property ( their current location ) and built a new, much larger, store, which they moved into in 1951, and they've been there ever since. After serving in the Army, John's twin sons Marvin and Allan took over the store when John retired in the 1960s. They expanded the building roughly 25% but started focusing on spirits, as supermarkets started to supplant the local markets for food and grocery items. Marvin's son Bill, the current owner, says, "I grew up here in the store, and I've been full time since 1985. There's no better teacher than experience." Bill values his customers and enjoys having the day-to-day contact. There's a neighborhood feeling when you walk in, which comes from generations of connecting with the Ashland community.

Main Street Wine & Spirits is the only place we go, and we tell everyone we know to do the same. They are the best.
The entire staff is absolutely terrific each time I stop in to buy liquor or wine. They are always available in case I have questions on trying a new kind.
I think that Main Street Wine & Spirits has a good selection, good prices and a great staff to work with.
I stop by pretty much every Saturday at Main Street Wine and Spirits. Great people work there and they have a great store with a wide selection.
Main Street Wine is my choice spot in Ashland when I need to get beer or wine, I know almost everyone that works there!
I've been coming here for probably close to 11 years, I usually purchase wine and beer but for parties we'll buy hard liquor, great selection all around.
I usually purchase wine from here- they have a great selection and if there's something you can't find they are always helpful.
Our neighborhood beer and wine store! I have been a customer here for 15 years. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, and are always available to help you find whatever you're looking for. They have a wide selection, and the prices are always fair.
They have a really great seasonal selection.. that's what keeps me coming back.
They have really great people here, they are nice and courteous. I have been going here for years now and the employees still are helpful and knowledgeable even more than when I first started going.

Provided by Citysearch -Main Street Wine is my choice spot in Ashland when I need to get beer or wine, part of the reason because I know almost everyone that works there. They have a great selection which fits my needs well, and their prices are very reasonable, so I keep coming back. Every time I go in I can find what I want, so I am happy and keep going back. - A. S.
