The team behind Customshop and Marina’s Tapas has announced plans to open a wine bar in Dilworth in late summer or early fall.

And it’s the wine bar of their dreams.

This 1,200-square-feet spot that was most recently Mere’s will transform into a welcoming, homey wine bar with a backdrop of fresh, shareable food, operated by Alex Bridges and chef Andres Kaifer.

“When I was like 20-something years old and I thought I might want to have a restaurant one day, I thought of this place,” Bridges said. “This is always what I’ve wanted to do.”
