A monster awakens...

Holy moly - I had no idea! When Brandee came to Melody and I with the idea of taking a small space we had sub-let to other wineries in the Sodo Wine Works space and opening a new business in it, my inner capitalist was happy we had a plan to monetize the space we weren't using effectively - a very typical response from the boring money guy in the business. When she mentioned the idea was a "hip-hop champagne bar" I immediately realized two things:

1. This was a really good business idea. The history behind hip-hop and champagne is legendary and there is a need in Seattle's wine market for a champagne bar as a break between flights of wonderful washington Reds, so it seemed like a good idea for a business

2. This was going to be very, very popular. Like Guest DJ and Champagne house launches popular.

The Yelp reviews have been very good, but more than this is how I am watching it become a social hub for groups of friends - we are 8 weeks in an have regulars already who are bringing new friends in each time!

Both of us are really excited about the potential for this concept as we expand to other areas in Seattle and perhaps beyond.
