New Grand Rapids wine bar to offer 102 wines by the glass

A Grand Rapids Press report says customers at the planned Reserve wine bar can select from hundreds of wines by the glass and by the bottle, and enjoy them in a upscale atmosphere in the heart of the convention and hotel district.

According to excerpts from the story:

At Reserve, a downtown wine bar aiming to open in September, customers will be able to choose from 102 different wines by the glass. That's a lot of popped corks. But Martha's Vineyard owner Kameel Chamelly, who owns the new venture in partnership with the Windquest Group, is not worried about maintaining the quality of the open wine.

The bar features a custom-made, 102-bottle cruvinet -- a temperature controlled wine dispensing system that uses nitrogen to keep the wine fresh for up to six months. Chamelly said the system will allow customers to sample high-end wines they would never consider ordering by the bottle.
