Vine & Rind, a wine bar, cheese shop and bistro on Springfield's west side, is holding a grand opening on Saturday, July 26.
Chelsea Ziebler launched Ta Da Catering three years ago, and the business has expanded to include a brick-and-mortar location with additional offerings.
“Vine & Rind will be our storefront for wine and cheese,” Ziebler previously told SBJ. “The front of our space will be a store with wine for sale and a few different kinds of boutique liquor. The rest is more like a restaurant.”
Vine & Rind is located at 3267 Ginger Creek Drive in a newly constructed strip center. Potter Drugs occupies one end cap space and Vine & Rind is at the other end, which allows for a drive-through window.
Ta Da Catering specializes in custom charcuterie boards and Ziebler said having a storefront will help address demand.
“Customers have been asking for a place to pick them up, and people also want to be able to stop on the way to a party and grab one, or place an online order that day,” she said.
Now, customers will be able to pick up orders at the drive-through window or take advantage of a build-your-own option in the store.
“We’ll have everything you need to make your own charcuterie board: jams, jellies, pickles, crackers, cheese boards, knives,” Ziebler said. “There will be a full-service deli to purchase meat and cheese by the pound so you can build your own and take it home.”
The space will also include 24 self-serve wine stations offering 1 ounce, 3 ounce and 7 ounce pours.
“It will be a mix of local, regional and international wines. We’ll have a nice variety for people to try,” Ziebler said. “My husband and I have traveled to a lot of wine countries. I’ve always been a big wine and cheese lover."
Vine & Rind will offer soups and sandwiches for lunch, then in the evenings customers can choose from already curated charcuterie boards, small sharable plates and fondue. There will also be a selection of gourmet desserts, including cheesecake, made in-house.
Ziebler said she plans to host events such as wine and cheese tastings and bourbon tastings, along with live music.
“We want it to be a place where people can gather – people can share things and come together for fun events,” she said.
A grand opening is planned for Saturday, July 26. From 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., counter service will be available along with charcuterie boards, self-serve wine machines and retail wine and cheese sales. A full-service wine bar with signature boards, small plates and desserts will be available from 5-10 p.m. Reservations are highly recommended for evening hours due to limited seating and can be made through the business' Google page.
