The Buzzed Word is Ocean City’s only independent bookshop AND natural wine shop/bar. Founded in 2021, it’s woman- and queer-owned and -operated, a safe space, and most of all, dedicated to bringing beauty to its community. Incredibly personal, it’s run by Mickie Meinhardt and Ryann Dwyer, who work tirelessly to make it a place of discovery every day.
TBW opened in July 2021 with the goal to bring natural wine, diverse books, culture, and community to a town that needed and wanted it; to build a place where people could find exciting new books and beautifully-made wines from small producers around the world, come with a friend to share a bottle and a snack in an intimate space, or spend time browsing (or reading!) with a glass in hand. We host many events throughout the year, and are here for all who seek joy in this beach town.
