Kristin Waldow decided to open Helix with her long-time friends and wine enthusiasts, Scott Westphal and Lisa Ornstein. Ground was broken on the new space 19 months ago but the two couples picked out the lot back in November 2017. While the original plan was to break ground in the spring of 2020 and to open the following 2021, COVID-19 forced the project to a halt.
“Normally when you go to a bar or restaurant it’s distributer driven; it’s whatever they want to sell and get a discount on,” Westphal said. “So the wines we offer are those you have to really dig for. And that’s what we really did here.”
