Nazzitto's Wines & Liquors is the oldest operating wine & Liquor store in Chenango County with the original liquor license dating back to the 1930's. Frank J. Nazzitto moved his family to Norwich in 1950. Frank loved Norwich and felt it would be a great place to raise his nine children (8 girls, 1 boy). In 1959 Frank purchased Herman's Liquors Store which was located on American Avenue in Norwich.
Frank, along with with his wife Grace, ran the small store until 1976. In 1974 he was joined by his son John, and in 1976 they moved the family operation (now known as Nazzitto's Wines & Liquors) to a new downtown plaza anchored by the new A&P Supermarket and new Rite Aid Drug Store. This plaza was located on South Broad Street across from NBT Bank. Nazzitto's remained in this plaza for 25 years until the year 2000 when the A&P Supermarket left Norwich and Rite Aid moved to it's new location. In 2000 John Nazzitto, after Franks death in 1985, relocated in the Chenango Towne Plaza (Price Chopper Plaza) on Route 12 just South of Norwich. In February of 2018 Audra and Tim Scheer purchased Nazzitto’s Wines & Liquors and continue to promote a family atmosphere.
