Lucille Wine Shop
776 Washington St, Lynn, MA 01902, USA
In 2020, Sarah Marshall opened Lucille with a simple mission: to bring restaurant-caliber hospitality and sommelier-level knowledge to a friendly, neighborhood wine shop. Visitors will find a broad selection of wines from old-world growers at all price points, plus some other fun surprises. Sarah grew up learning how to cook with her mom. She continued that love of cooking (and cookbooks and wine) throughout college and beyond. After graduating, she landed a job at the legendary Boston restaurant, l’Espalier. There, Sarah learned to pair her homegrown senses of flavor and warmth with a refined appreciation of taste, hospitality, and finesse. Her education continued though other Boston food-and-wine destinations: Central Bottle, BRIX, The Butcher Shop, Stir, The Boston Harbor Hotel, and as Wine Director at Oleanna and Sarma. Sarah is a graduate of Boston University’s Elizabeth Bishop Wine Program, and is a certified sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers. Lucille is named after Sarah’s maternal grandmother, whose life was about community, travel, and building a home away from home. Growing up in a military family meant being part of a big neighborhood, which meant cookouts with the entire block of the military base. Lucille relished her role as the community chef, and was always happiest when she was cooking. Soups, casseroles, cookies and pies, hamburgers and homemade French fries years before the fast food boom made them daily staples. In her retirement, Lucille cooked for a fraternity at the University of Tennessee, and boy did she shine! She would tell stories to her daughter, Brenda, about the boys who called her “Mom.” She planned and cooked three meals for fifty boys seven days a week. That’s high math for a woman with only an 8th grade education. Lucille passed on her stories, recipes, and knowledge to Sarah’s mom, Brenda, who in turn gave Sarah her start as a food lover.
