Downtown Austin Wine Bar Wanderlust Opens With Wine Shop and Virtual Classes - Eater Austin
"Downtown Austin winery Wanderlust Wine Company is now open, although in a different capacity than originally intended due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Wanderlust is currently selling to-go bottles of wine from its location at 610 North I-35 between East Sixth and Seventh streets, and hosting virtual wine classes. The wine shop’s current bottle list features partnering wineries such as Texas wineries Reddy Wines and C.L. Butaud Wines. Wines don’t have to be purchased for the wine tastings. Owner Sammy Lam originally envisioned Wanderlust as a bar with self-serve wines on tap. However, he was unable to fully complete construction as his contractors were unable to fly— but the TABC mandate during COVID-19 limits alcohol to manufacturer-sealed containers anyway." - Erin Russell
