The Nob Hill structure utilized to be a home. Later, it was a beauty salon. Most just recently, it was a tattoo parlor.
And now, it’s house to white wine bar Public House and comfort-food dining establishment Butter.

“We discovered an examination sticker label from the 1920s,” Kalemba stated.
Public House opened onSept 17, a little over a week after Butter opened. The alcohol license for the white wine bar reaches Butter, so consumers can get a sandwich at the dining establishment, then drop in Public House for a glass of white wine– or vice versa. The shared outdoor patio likewise unites food and beverage.

Rather than opening another brewery, Kalemba wished to enter white wine. Public House just offers New Mexico- made red wines– Kalemba stated he’s wishing to alter understandings about the state’s white wine culture.
” I get annoyed when there’s a great deal of commentary we hear that you understand New Mexico does not have the very best red wines,” Kalemba stated. “There are some actually amazing red wines being made here. … If we can sort of modification that viewpoint and get them out to more to the masses, I believe that ‘d be amazing.”

“It permits us to get a bit deeper into their brochures and go through their vertical,” Kalemba stated. “We can inform, I believe, more of a fascinating story about who those individuals are or you can … taste their character a bit.”
The Kalembas desire the experience at Public House to be comfy and welcoming– specifically for individuals who aren’t specialists in white wine.
“The white wine experience can in some cases be frustrating, or has sort of a preconception that it’s sort of unapproachable,” Kalemba stated. “And the approach over here is that quite like High and Dry: white wine needs to be friendly. You do not need to be a specialist to enjoy it and like this needs to be a location where you feel welcome and welcomed to delight in a glass of white wine.”
