A new wine bar and wine shop called Pulling Corks

A new wine bar and wine shop called Pulling Corks (@pullingcorksmaine) is under construction in Belfast. It’s being launched by David Speer and Kristin Amundson-Speer. Their vision is a place where customers can “casually drop in and have a glass and a snack, or come and celebrate a really special occasion with an amazing bottle.”
They’ve purchased the 150 year old building that was the former of Bellabooks and are in the process renovating the first floor to be the home of Pulling Corks. The building is at 31 Pendleton Street located just a block away from the center of town. The bar will seat 24-30 people with outdoor seating in an adjacent garden during warmer months.
David Speer has been in the wine industry for over two decades. In 2013, he was named by @foodandwine to their list of the Best Sommeliers of the Year. Prior to moving to Maine, he was the founder and owner of a 20-seat champagne bar called Ambonnay in Portland, Oregon. Speer also operates the Red Slate Wine Company which offers private sommelier service specializing in wines from Champagne and Burgundy.
The couple hope to have Pulling Corks open in time for the start of the summer season. #pullingcorks #mainefoodmap #mainefood

Founder Catherine Wiersema, lead chocolatier Sarah Levine and their team now have twice the room for their retail shop and chocolate production area which will enable them to significantly increase production of their award-winning chocolates. The shop sits just off the public outdoor seating area for the building which customers can enjoy while sipping their French Hot Chocolate. Chocolats Passion has some vegan products and serves a dairy-free version of their hot chocolate.
The new shop will be open 1 – 6 pm Saturday and Sunday, and then starting on Wednesday will be open everyday through to December 24th, 1 – 6 pm.
Chocolats Passion initially opened for business at 189 Brackett Street September 12, 2018.

Eat Drink Lucky (@eatdrinklucky) is working with w

Eat Drink Lucky (@eatdrinklucky) is working with women artists from Maine to offer the Artist Tea Towel Subscription Series. Now in its fourth year, the series features twelve unique designs. Mid-month throughout 2024 subscribers will receive individually wrapped tea towels accompanied by a note introducing the artist. Shown here is an orchid design created by Molly Thompson from @prettyflours which will kick off the series in January.
Ruth Reichl (@ruth.reichl) is a fan of the tea towel series and just recommended it as a 2023 holiday gift, “One of the easiest ways to add color to your kitchen is by hanging up a few pretty dish towels. Which is why I like the idea of Eat Lucky’s annual artist tea towel series. The towels are all designed by Maine artists, and a new one appears each month. You can order a towel a month for an entire year – or for just a few months.”
See the link in the @eatdrinklucky bio for more information and to subscribe to the series.
Artists participating in the series are: @louisa_wickard, @trosko_design, @thecultivatedthread, @fourandnorth, @thefaithfulhound, @wildrosie.maine, @allison.mckeen, @zazandmoe and @prettyflours.
