Operations Manager
If you’ve been to The Wine Seller anytime within the past seven years, you are sure to recognize her face!
Our very own enthusiast & Operations Manager, Chyna Jones, has done it all from beer buying to wine buying to being our daily comic relief. She established herself in Williasmburg, VA in 2007 where she began her extensive background in the food & beverage industry. After years of experience and management within resaurants and local brewery taprooms, she found her passion here at The Wine Seller.
She believes that wine and beer don’t need to be stuffy or pretentious and dedicates her time to making the industry approachable for newcomers. She’s also a firm believer that you’re only as strong as the people around you, and that every step forward is a reflection of their support.
