The History of Tannins

2000

Tannins was started in 2000 by Lisa M. as a high end retail wine shop. After 4 years Lisa added the bar in order to better conduct wine tastings.

2010

Soon, guests started to hang out at the bar. After 10 years, Lisa felt it was time to move on and she sold the place to a local couple that had restaurant and wine experience, Jane and Joe Leonardo. Jane and Joe expanded the beer selection and added a few sprits to accommodate the occasional Martini or Manhattan requests.

2014

After 4 years, Jane and Joe decided it was important to focus on family and sold the business to Cyndi and Mike Allas.
