Wine Advice: Drink More, Drink New, Drink Personal, Drink Happy
Wine is art. Wine is sexy. Wine is passion. Wine is the most intriguing drink created. Wine is part of religious ceremonies. Jesus turned water into wine and even drank wine with his disciples as part of everyday life. Wine is sipped not shot, savored not slammed. Wine is discussed, debated, sought after and collected. But… …for many, wine is confusing. As someone who drinks a lot of wine, I’d like to offer three suggestions to help with your understanding of this mysterious nectar. 1.

Space. The final frontier. At the beginning of the year we set out with three goals in mind. 1) More food options. Last week we announced an expansion of our menu with some unique partnerships with nearby restaurants. 2) Market more like a winery.

We have entered into an agreement to lease the adjoining 1000 square feet next to Nectar (formerly known as the LaunchPadINW Training Center). Over the next several weeks you’ll see the space transform into […]
