Our History

Since 1943 Cazenovia Liquors has remained a South Buffalo icon that continues to offer convenience and value to our community through today's modern lifestyle demands.

Cazenovia was originally built and founded by the late John Pappas in 1943.  Pappas and his wife ran the small store while residing upstairs for more than 40 years, all while catering to the mostly-Greek and Italian local immigrant community with a select collection of specialty liquor and imported wines.  Their influence in the store can still be felt today.

The current Management has been in place since 1987, headed by General Manager Sharon Rogers and Assistant Manager Linda Bury, both of whom maintain a strong focus on customer service as well as low prices.  Sharon and Linda's expert knowledge of their industry have propelled them to the top of their field in retail wine and spirits marketing, which ultimately benefits our customers.

About the President

Since 1987, Don King has been influential in designing, expanding and modifying Cazenovia Liquors to the successful wine and spirits business that it is today.

A graduate of the Tampa Wine institute in Florida, Don's in-depth knowledge of wine steadily grows as he strives to educate his customers on discovering affordable and quality wine and spirits, amongst the lower-quality products typically available.
