74 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE Jamie’s Bottle Shop, Old Town Scottsdale Jamie Hormel, owner of Wrigley Mansion, and her longtime friend and business partner Jack Borenstein opened Jamie’s Bottle Shop in March 2025, inspired by wine shops they visited in cities like Los Angeles, New York and Paris. “I wanted a place that’s approachable, whether you’re a seasoned drinker or a curious newbie, making wine less intimidating and more fun,” Hormel said. “It’s a hybrid concept — part bottle shop, part casual wine bar, part French-style bistro.” Jamie’s Bottle Shop has an eclectic selection of over 700 labels, ranging from everyday bottles to ultra-rare gems, as well as wines by the glass from lesser-known varietals and regions. The shop offers tastings, classes, private events and a wine club with several tiers. The menu includes charcuterie, salads, sandwiches and European-inspired small plates. jamiesbottleshop.com Kid Sister, Phoenix With backgrounds in the hospitality industry and a shared love of wine, sisters Casey and Courtney Lewandrowski, along with their friend and partner Dejanee Lambert, opened Kid Sister in May 2024. “We take inspiration from neo-bistros and modern European wine bars, while staying grounded in our desert surroundings,” Casey said. Kid Sister’s curated bottle list features 70 to 90 selections, with a rotating by-the-glass menu that highlights smaller producers. Their food menu, which also rotates regularly, is designed to complement the wine. “Our chef draws inspiration from a wide range of cuisines, but always centers the dishes around high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients,” Casey said. They’re part of a growing wave of women in Phoenix and beyond who are making space for new voices in wine. “Representation matters, and we hope Kid Sister feels like a space where both our team and our guests see themselves reflected and welcomed.” kidsisterphx.com Pinard Wine Bar and Restaurant, North Scottsdale Letty Ebel’s Pinard Wine Bar and Restaurant brings a touch of European elegance to the desert. Opened in November 2024, the space offers a carefully curated selection of over 250 bottles and 40 wines by the glass, along with a full scratch kitchen. Ebel’s goal was to create a welcoming, knowledgeable environment. “Guests can expect a friendly staff and comfortable European vibe with a full restaurant and bar,” she said. From flash-fried artichokes to beef bourguignon, the menu pairs perfectly with the extensive wine list. Ebel has felt nothing but support from her peers. “The wine community in Arizona has been amazing. I have found everyone very open, welcoming and excited to embrace our concept,” she said. “We’ve met so many great people, and it helps make all the work we put into Pinard totally worth it.” pinardwinebar.com Courtesy of Kid Sister Courtesy of Jamie’s Bottle Shop Courtesy of Pinard Wine Bar
