Savoy Wines to Close
Business Never Boomed; Deals Expected Until End of Year
Savoy Wines will close at the end of the year. That’s what fans of the bottle shop on West Anapamu Street learned in their email box this morning, when a letter from manager Bob Wesley and owner Paul Shields announced a 15% sale on everything for Friday and Saturday.
“There’s obviously a broad array of tasty vino on the planet, and we’ve been pleased to introduce you to an abundance of our favorites over the last two and a half years,” they wrote. “[H]owever, today we must announce that Savoy Wines will be closing in December.”
The shop was opened in June 2017 by Shields, who also owns Savoy Cafe. He enlisted the curatorial and management services of Wesley, a renowned wine retailer who previously ran The Winehound and the beverage department at Lazy Acres.
