Retail wine shop and tasting bar headed to Woodward

The Woodward corridor in Detroit is about to become tastier with its latest wine business.

Excerpt:

David Armin-Parcells, armed with 18 years of experience in the wine business, had a hunch that Greater Downtown residents were hungry for some good grape. His stint managing Zaccaro's, where he handled beer and wine orders, proved the hypothesis. "It was the most successful department there," he says. "This gave me some hard numbers."

Bolstered by the facts, Armin-Parcells will open Motor City Wine at 608 Woodward's second floor suite. His wine shop and tasting bar will be located above what is currently Eph's (but will soon be Foran's Deluxe Diner -- more on that in a future issue) with a separate front entrance. The space will seat approximately 45, with some two-tops as well as a large community table. The north wall will be lined with product shelved in hanging wooden wine crates -- approximately 120 different varieties of wine will be stocked -- as well as rotating works of art.
