Wine Riot Store in Boston's South End May Be Replaced by Wine Gallery

A wine events business that has a retail shop in the South End of Boston may see its retail space taken over by another group of wine shops.

According to a Twitter post from @DGoodison, Wine Riot on Tremont Street is looking to transfer its license to Wine Gallery, with a message sent confirming that the shop would be moving into the same address. It appears that the Wine Riot shop--which is run by Second Glass--may already be closed according to another source, though this has not been confirmed as of yet. It is not known what may happen to Second Glass's wine events business at this point in time; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.

Wine Gallery has four locations in the Boston area--in Downtown Crossing, Kenmore Square, Brookline, and Lexington.

The address for Wine Riot (and the proposed Wine Gallery) in the South End is 519 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02116.

[May 12 update: A licensing board hearing page has confirmed the above, showing that Wine Riot has petitioned to transfer the licensed business to Wine Gallery, with the hearing taking place on May 17.]
