"In July 2009, husband and wife duo David Armin-Parcells and Melissa Armin-Parcells opened Motor City Wine. With no signage, no dedicated parking, and not much more than determination, they opened the shop which was intended to be a primarily retail spot with a small European-style tasting bar. A decade later, Motor City Wine is now located in Corktown with a magical patio and has become a mainstay in Detroit for wine lovers, hosting live music events and becoming a popular spot for planning and social gatherings." - Mickey Lyons
