WINE FOR THE HOLIDAYS:
when you are finished, come back and see me and maybe, just maybe, I will sell you this special wine.” Because of her, many, perhaps thousands, of people learned to appreciate wine, guided by Fritzi and love of the grape rather than by price or brand. Fritzi was way ahead of her time. Fritzi ran Haskell’s until 1969 when Jack Farrell purchased the company from her. At the time, Haskell’s was just one store in Downtown Minneapolis, but because of Fritzi’s diligent work, it was already famous around the world — the wine world, that is. Farrell took over the reins and never looked back. Since coming under his leadership, Haskell’s has grown to include 11 locations across the Twin Cities and over 160 employees. Still located in the historic Young Quinlin building on 9th street, they remain the longest operating business in downtown Minneapolis. Whether you are an expert or a beginner,Haskell’s exceeds all expectations regarding service, selection, and great prices. The Haskell’s team travels the world’s vineyards and brings the best right back to the Twin Cities for everyone to affordably partake. They make enjoying wine even more accessible with their curbside pickup, delivery, and out-of-the- metro shipping. You can order in person, online, or over the phone — and when you call, you actually talk to a person.

“ Our strengths are service and selection and both at great prices. With more than 87 years of operation, Haskell’s hopes to continue to be a local tradition for generations to come. As long as the Twin Cities community relies on them for their expertise and fantastic selection of wine, Haskell’s has no intention of leaving. So stop in and see them at one of their metro locations or simply pick up the phone and give them a call. You can even shoot them an email to talk wine, spirits, brews, ciders, and seltzers.
