Expansion Complete!




12 More seats and construction complete! The newly expanded Wine Bar @ Breckenridge Cheese & Chocolate !

June Demolition for Expansion!!




Long before June...the ideas were in our heads for our EXPANSION!
But...on June 1...the demo began...and our dream all of a sudden was becoming a reality!
After planning commission approval...we began knocking down the walls!
Larry created the arches and opened the space up with amazing results...much better than we had envisioned. Suddenly the ceiling seemed taller and the whole upstairs became a broader and more unified space. This is what the space needed all along!
We ordered 3 more tables, 12 more bar stools and more of our beautiful stemware!
Meanwhile Mike and Kenny got to work on the new bar...which will ultimately contain our gorgeous state of the art Wine Preservation System! The Enomatic from Tuscany will hold 8 reds and refrigerate 8 whites...while pressurizing and preserving the wines with an inert gas! This will keep our wines amazingly fresh...fresh enough to have them in the system for up to 3 weeks without fading due to oxidation!
