DCANTER, a boutique wine retailer with a location on Capitol Hill, is preparing to open a second shop in Old Town at 1101 King Street, Suite 112.
The business received its certificate of occupancy last week — the regulatory green light required before a business can open — bringing founders Michelle Lim Warner and Michael Warner closer to launching the new location. The milestone was announced on March 13 on the shop's Instagram account, @dcanterwines.
DCANTER specializes in organic and sustainably farmed wines from small producers worldwide. In addition to in-store shopping, the retailer offers a personalized wine concierge service, classes, private tastings, and global wine tours. The shop has been recognized as the best place to buy wine in Washington, D.C., and is listed among the top 100 wine retailers in the United States.
The Warners signed the lease roughly eight weeks ago. At the time, Michelle noted a personal connection to the area, writing that the couple had lived near Old Town when they first moved to the Washington region more than two decades ago.
The shop is hiring. DCANTER is looking for candidates interested in wine, community and customer experience. Details are available here.
No opening date has been announced. Readers can sign up for updates and invitations to the opening event through DCANTER's mailing list here.
