Wine tasting coming to new Riverside Gourmet in old RACA spot? So indicates the agenda for Rome's Alcohol Control Commission meeting beginning at 5 p.m. Monday. The displaced gourmet shop, owned by Kevin Dillmon, was rumored to be opening at the corner of Broad and Second in the former party shop location. Dillmon had said the shop--which was at 233 Broad St. before Johnny's New York Style Pizza started a retrofit in January--would return with a new spin. -Dillmon is seeking a wine package license at 250 Broad St. with a caveat that includes wine tasting. The Rome Area Council for the Arts was based in the 248 Broad St. location until moving out several months ago. We've got calls into Dillmon for additional details.
-Dillmon's shop was in River Crossing (Hawthorn Suites) before moving to Broad and then was to be part of Rome City Market. Walt Adams' city market site on Broad is scheduled for auction in early May.
-Also on the ACC agenda: DJ's Tavern at 17 John Davenport Drive, sought by Jennifer L. Hoff, and a permit application from Las Palmas for a Cinco de Mayo party in the parking lot outside the RiverWalk location (Olive Garden, Shane's, etc.). Broad Street Station at 325 Broad St., the former McCrobie's/Alley, is seeking a beer, wine and liquor pouring license. Donald E. Canada III is behind that application.
