Saba San, a Natural Wine Shop From Bento Picnic Owner, Is Now Open - Eater Austin
"East Austin healthy restaurant Bento Picnic opened a brand-new natural wine bottle shop this week. Saba San’s is found within the 2600 East Cesar Chavez Street space as of Tuesday, April 21. Since Austin dine-in service is still banned through Friday, May 8, the Holly retail store is just selling to-go bottles for curbside pickups and deliveries through its website. Saba San’s list is focused on natural wines that pair well with the restaurant’s bento boxes, which are full of vegetables, curries, and teriyakis. There are reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines, as well as sake and beer. Orange wines will be added later this week. “I know we’ll be able to have really meaningful conversations with people,” explained owner Leanne Valenti. “It’s going to be a place where people can really learn about wine and how it’s made and what makes it special.”" - Nadia Chaudhury
