, a wine shop offering both local and imported wines, opened Saturday on the ground floor of the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley.
John Seeger Gilman, the owner of New West Wine Co., said two primary motivating factors brought him to open the shop, which is at 212 W. Main St.
Gilman said the first was that, while he loves Californian wines and will carry them at the shop, he noticed that wines from “a whole world” of other origins, including from certain European and South American countries, were harder to find and thought the addition of these would fit in well with the local community.
