An "indie record store for wine"

Hey, all you hipster kids looking to pick up a bottle on the way to a BYOB: Cellar Rat has you in mind. This just-opened retail wine shop focuses on small, independent producers. The best part? Most of the selections will only set you back $10-$20; there's even a table vamping vino under 10 bucks. The owners envision it as an "indie record store for wine." In fact, Dean Schlabowske, one of the partners is a founding member of the Waco Brothers. Retro kitchen tables and art on the walls (we're talking a pic of Iggy Pop drinking wine) add to the laid-back vibe, as do classes, flight nights and tastings focused on topics such as what wine to pick for barbecue. PLUS: One of the partners in Cellar Rat is behind the soon-to-open Blind Robin.
