New wine shop/lounge poised to open in Butler Twp.

A brand new, and rather large, wine shop, wine bar, lounge and liquor store is poised to open in northern Montgomery County.

Cork & Vine Wine Market and Lounge, 3453 York Commons Blvd., is scheduled to open by Nov. 1, according to Shawn Grow, who owns Cork-n-Vine at 1737 West Main St. in Troy and is the co-owner of the new wine shop along with Alex Kolodesh. The new Cork & Vine Wine Market is tucked in behind Office Depot just west of Miller Lane’s restaurant row.

The 7,500-square-feet facility seats 74 inside, and 48 more on an outdoor patio that will have gas heaters. The wine shop has room for 1,500 bottles, and an adjacent liquor store will offer spirits.

The wine bar and lounge will have a martini list and rotating flights of red and white wines, craft beers and a selection of tapas, Kolodesh and Grow said.

The new venture will be open six days a week, closed Sunday.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list.
