Plans are to be open in early March (knock on wood). I will be running the kitchen and I am very excited to work with the wonderful team at R&W ;hopefully putting out some good food to go along with an amazing wine list. I will post updates as they progress. I hope you all can stop by at some point!

2018 at R&W
Happy new year!
We are pleased to announce that our bar is (at last!)
open for business.
The January hours in the bar will be:
Thursday, Friday & Saturday
4pm - midnight
The bar will offer a food menu as well as wines by the glass and bottle. We will also offer beer and some top-notch spirits. We will not be taking reservations.
We are grateful for all of your support as we've gone through this process. We cannot wait to welcome you at the bar!
This exciting new offering requires our dedicated attention, and we will therefore be putting Thursday night tastings on hold for the near future. We welcome you to stop in the bar for a glass - our list will rotate and offer some really special wines.
Saturday tastings are getting an upgrade. They will be moving up from 1- 4pm, to border the opening hours of the bar. In response to the interest in more educational opportunities, and in an effort to continue to bring in new, exceptional wines, we've decided to go deeper with our tasting program. This requires that we ask $10/person. This $10 may be put towards any purchase that day. If you have any questions about tastings, please let us know. We will be sending out an email about this Saturday's Italian job with Mac. We are really excited about the tasting line-up for the rest of winter and spring and hope you will join us.
We appreciate your understanding as we grow. So often we remark at how wonderful our customers are. We are truly lucky to have the support of so many passionate, thoughtful and considerate clients.
Our heartfelt thanks,
Red & White
It’s taken some time, but Red & White Wine Bar is finally open.
Quietly opened to the public on Jan. 4, the spacious, European-style wine bar adjoins the 10-year-old retail space of the same name. Don’t expect to see the same bottles, though.
“Nathan has cellared and stocked cases of precious, allocated and interesting wines since opening in 2008,” says Cub Dimling, who co-owns the bar with Nathan Adams. “These are wines that you’ll only find if you sit at the bar to drink.”
Opening the bar was a natural evolution to the work being done in the retail space, Adams said. “I’ve always had it in my mind to open this space, to serve wines that we love, that I’ve been squirreling away.” Focused on natural, biodynamic and small-production wines — “real wines of nature,” said Dimling — Red & White differentiates itself from box stores with wines that tell stories. “Our motivation has always been to showcase producers, the families who grow the grapes and make the wines. They’re who we serve.”
