🍷 Wine down

Renovated and revamped: High Street Wine Co. reopens in Historic Pearl

If you’re not looking, you might just miss this gem located in the Historic Pearl. Tucked away near Local Coffee is High Street Wine Co. After taking a summer break to renovate its space, we got a sneak peak before the wine bar’s grand opening last week.

Located at 302 Pearl Pkwy., Unit 104, this one-of-a-kind bar has been connecting with the San Antonio community through wine since 2016. Led by General Manager and Advanced with Court of Master Sommelier Austin Tabbone — who is one of six sommeliers in the city and the only one who works on the floor of a restaurant.

According to a TDLR filing last December, High Street Wine Co. doubled in size to 2,804 sqft — more room equals more wine. Let’s break down the updates:
  • New food prep area
  • Wine cellar now holds 2,400 bottles of wine
  • Extending seating including a champagne lounge (reservation only)
  • Wine club launching in October

From the editor
Can y’all believe it’s already October? It sure doesn’t feel like it. This week I’m finally going to decorate my apartment for fall. Apparently San Antonio is getting its first cold front late next week, so I can decorate with a hot festive beverage and catch up on the newest ABC show, “The Golden Bachelor. “
