Spring Street Wine Bar Josephine Opens in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"Opening at 64 Spring St. on Tuesday, August 14 at 4 p.m., Joséphine Wine Bar is a Parisian-inspired spot where Chicago native Jill Cohen hopes to bring the charm of contemporary Parisian wine bars to the peninsula by offering fun bottles and sharable plates. At a media preview I saw a wine-friendly menu from chef Shaun Connolly (formerly of Chicago restaurants Nightwood, Moto, and Takashi) that included steak tartare with togarashi spice crackers, crispy polenta with wild mushroom ragu, curry-roasted carrots with coconut pesto, shrimp and zucchini tagliatelle, foie gras mousse, and more. Advanced sommelier Ashley Broshious joins the team alongside bar manager Melissa Yard (formerly of 5Church), and the newly renovated space is ready for customers looking for plates to share paired with interesting wines and cocktails." - Erin Perkins
