Almost Time to Take in the Vue

Charlevoix wine bar targeting mid-August opening

There are a lot of places to perch if you want to see Charlevoix the beautiful in its summer finest, but we suspect one of the best spots is going to be at Vue, the new wine bar underway at 101 Bridge St., a primo spot overlooking the Pine Channel, its drawbridge, and the many boats bound for Lake Michigan, Round Lake, and Lake Charlevoix. With its application for an ample outdoor deck approved in March, Vue is steadily shimmying toward its planned summer opening. When? Micki McGuire, manager-sommelier, tells Northern Express the target is mid-August and promises this “intimate, cozy, elegant wine bar” will be worth the wait. Eager guests can expect world-class Old World wines from France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Portugal alongside New World vino from America, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa. While she’s quick to point out wine will rule this roost, she says cocktails and beer will be available and gave us this sneak peek of likely small plate nibbles: charcuterie and Fromage boards, warm olives and dips, whitefish pate, seasonal offerings from local farms, and a surprise dessert to match a dessert wine flight each week. Keep watch by searching and following “Vue Charlevoix” on Facebook.
