When the store - newly named Central Coast Wines International - reopens in late September, it will showcase wines from the major wine-growing areas of the world, with an emphasis on Burgundy, France. International wines and wines from other domestic regions will eventually make up 30 percent of the selection. The store will also feature a wine bar with expanded bar seating; a selection of artisan cheeses, olives and spreads for purchase; and weekly events featuring local winemakers. Warren plans to offer an extensive selection of vertical wine tastings, which is a tasting of wines from consecutive vintages from the same producer.
