The owners of Wine Shop are putting the finishing touches on their space at 410 Pearl Street in New Albany. Here’s an insider tip: For those who speak New Albanian, “opening mid-October” is translated as “after Harvest Homecoming is finished.”

Writer Brooke McAfee has a detailed preview of Wine Shop at SoIN’s newspaper of record, the News and Tribune.

Wine Shop to open mid-October in downtown New Albany

NEW ALBANY — A new shop and bar coming to downtown New Albany aims to offer a welcoming space for people to try new types of wine.

Co-owners Lauren VanCleave and Jason Searby are preparing to open Wine Shop, a business at 410 Pearl St. that will double as a retail shop and bar/restaurant. The opening is scheduled for mid-October.

The shop will include a tasting bar that will allow customers to sample wine before they take it home. In addition to wine, the shop will feature beer, low-alcohol drinks and nonalcoholic options. The food menu will feature small bites that pair well with wines, including cheese and charcuterie boards.

According to McAfee, “Wine Shop will be open 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday to Friday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.”
