In May 2007, I reported that Vintage, a wine shop, opened at a former New World Wine location at 632 E. Ogden Ave. Today, I'm here to write that after only one year that shop, too, has closed.
Frankly, I think it just didn't differentiate itself enough from the East Pointe Pick ‘N Save and Metro Market shops in the neighborhood.
In other "wine" news, the space that New World Wine once occupied in the Historic Third Ward, 322 N. Water St., is available for lease. For a while, a marketing firm occupied the space, but it has since moved its operations to another floor of the building.

He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
