The Story of How Good Mansion Wines
Brought Good Taste to Wheeling


In early 2006, proprietor Dominick Paul Cerrone had an empty building and a vision. By April 2006, he filled Wheeling’s revered LS Good Mansion Wines with an uparalleled selection of wines that the city had never seen before. For the first time, a whole world of wine came to Wheeling, from Barolo to bonarda, Muscadet to malbec, and so on. The store’s impressive selection of European holdings in particular soon drew the attention of wine lovers throughout the entire Pittsburgh market and to this day attracts thousands of customers a year from both Wheeling and well beyond.

The proprietor’s love of wine comes from an Italian upbringing of having wine on the table every week and the conviction that good wine should be a commodity, not a luxury. Good Mansion Wines firmly believes that there is a wine for every occasion, and that the best of those is at the table with food. An extensive Italian selection, the largest in the tri state area, offers wines from 18 of the Italian regions that beckon back to the Sunday dinner table of his childhood days. Extensive German, French, and Spanish selections fill out the large “Old World” selections. There is also a large “New World” selection that offers all of the expected wines. A comprehensive list of West Virginia wines from almost a dozen wineries completes the “New World” selection.

The magic of Good Mansion Wines is not only in its wine, but also the interior of the stately LS Good Mansion. The shop quickly became a tourist destination for visitors of the city, an opportunity to browse through one of the region’s most comprehensive list of wines amid the splendors of Wheeling entrepreneur Lee Samuel Good’s Turn of the Century homestead.

The key to Good Mansion Wines is its attention to service and variety. Extensive efforts are made to seek out the largest variety of wine, including wines never previously offered to West Virginia.
