Jeffrey Szukalski
Jeff has been working in the industry for almost 45 years. Opening Jeff’s Spirits on Main in 1998 his business plan was to have a store that the community would support and love all while supporting the community that supports him. Jeff has taught classes at UWWC as well as Cardinal Stritch University where his classes cover wine history, pairing wine and food, as well as how to serve wine. Jeff is the go to person for wine/food pairings for Thanksgiving, your next dinner party, or to help curate your wine cellar.
In addition to running Spirits on Main, Jeff has orchestrated wine dinners from 8 to 80 and catered parties as large as 1,000 guests. Jeff also has been involved in many Washington County non profits including The Boys & Girls Club, MOWA, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, WC Humane Society, The Volunteer Center, The Senior Center, West Bend Baseball, West Bend Christmas parade, and West Bend Rotary just to name a few.
Jeff has instilled his passion for customer service and pride in his community to his children who are the core of the business’ future as well as his employees.
Jeff looks forward to being West Bend’s favorite liquor destination for the next 25 years!

Sarah Szukalski
Sarah has always loved being a part of the family business and when moving back to Wisconsin after sometime in the Minneapolis/St Paul area she rejoined the family business as our event coordinator. As our event coordinator Sarah helps orchestrate over 100 events a year for us from small corporate events, private dinner parties, to planning 400 person weddings from start to finish.
Sarah’s time at the store and working at community events has also peaked her interest in wine. From tasting events and wine dinners Sarah continues to expand her knowledge along with working through the WSET program as a current Level 2 she enjoys sharing her knowledge on wine through non-profit events and community functions. Sarah loves being a part of the West Bend community and donating her time and experience working with non-profits including the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County where she sits on the board of directors.
Sarah always looks forward to getting to know our customers better when planning an event or at one of the many community events she is bartending!
