Just Vino Prepares To Open
While cruising down Main Street last Friday, we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw people moving around inside the Granite Works building. It looked as if the Just Vino space was operational, though in actuality, the owners had just invited some friends over to check out the progress. The good news is that Just Vino will open close to November 1st. That means that Main Street is going to be getting another injection of 'cool' when the first of the month rolls around. The work that has been done to the inside of Just Vino is exceptional. And even though we just happened to wander in, the owners had a hard time getting us out.
Remember what the interior looked like back in May (see post)? Well, owners Jeff Borsuk and Ken Wood have certainly been busy sprucing up the wine bar. I was surprised to see how well they two utilized the space. There appeared to be plenty of room for customers throughout, but at the same time the low lighting, golden copper, aged rustic brick and dark wood colors added a sense of coziness. When the wine is finally added to the mix, Just Vino is going to be searched out by wine, cheese and chocolate lovers alike. There might even be a few carnivores in the crowd as well - hanging near the bar was some sort of animal leg, similar to what an actual European wine bar would have. Apparently it's quite the thing to carve little slices of meat from the cured animal leg to serve at the bar along with the wine and cheese. The hanging meat might not be for everyone, but it certainly signals the authentic direction that these guys are going with the wine bar.
Just Vino is located at 846 Main Street - Store #100.

My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …

Looks great. For nine years I lived right behind this building - it burned down twice during that period. Absolutely stunning renovation of the place - the entire Granite Works complex.

Looks fantastic! Good Luck to the owners.
My only concern - A bunch of us went to the Wine Thief a few weeks ago - on a Friday night.
It's ALL hard surfaces in there - bar, floor, walls -- acoustically it was AWFUL in there - we had to shout to hear the people next us... and talking to others across the table was impossible.
Something is needed to help absorb sound/keep it from bouncing around.
Either way I'll definately be by to check it out!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they can get the old sound baffles that are hanging in the Aud.
