As we strolled down Court Street on Saturday night, Jim and I were surprised by the activity going on at a storefront near West 9th Street. It looks like a new wine shop called Fat Cat Wines will soon open on this sleepy stretch of the block. A closer look this morning revealed sleek wooden wine racks and a counter under construction. I don’t usually post tips such as this, but any new, interesting shop on this quiet end of Court Street is always exciting to me. Hopefully the store will carry some intriguing wines. I’ll keep my eye on it and see if I can find out more information.

Fat Cat Wines is open and ready for business. I took a quick walk around inside today and noticed a great variety of interesting, international wines at reasonable prices. They will be open Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Monday. It’s a nice addition to the neighborhood, so take a walk by and support this new local spot.
