Wine Loft closes

Ohio's first Wine Loft has closed.

The restaurant, which opened in March in Dublin's Shoppes at River Ridge, featured small plates and an extensive wine list.

According to a note posted on the restaurant's doors, the "landlord has taken possession of the premises on account of defaults of the tenant under its lease, including obligations to pay rent."

Calls to management for comment were not returned. A recorded message at the Wine Loft says, "Hello. No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone."

Andy, I stopped in to see these guys about 4-5 weeks ago. Everyone is really struggling over there....and rumor is not much collaboration is happening with the tenants that do exist. Not enough 'local flair', to get a grass roots promotion going.

We were trying to rally a community style event over at the Shoppes for October, threw an idea about a horse show to welcome the Quarter Horse Congress, guess this would be why I never got a call back!!

Don't forget to support Mary Curran and Audacious Boutique, she went out on a limb to move over there, and needs all the community backing she can get!

I am sure there are a lot of factors that contributed to the closing including the economy - but we have to ask if the lack of signage is setting up these retailers to fail? Honestly - unless you drive into and around the development you would not know what is in there with the exception of the very visible Montgomery Inn. How many failed plazas and retailers have to struggle before Dublin realizes that signage is so important to retail awareness and traffic - especially for the thousands of visitors we attract to our city each year? But I know of a lot residents that don't know what is in Shoppes at River Ridge.

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
