Wine without the whining

Bainbridge islander Andrea Korican just announced that her new wine bar, The Living Room, is set to open on Bjune Drive in the next week or two. The Living Room will offer an eclectic wine list and a small bites menu designed by Gerry Ferraro (of Four Swallows Restaurant, also on Bainbridge) in a candle-lit room stuffed with low tables and sofas. Sound like the living room you designed for your dream house, the one with a well-stocked cellar and a waitstaff? That's the idea. Just don't bring your kids - Korican's touting The Living Room as one of the few places on the island where adults can wine without the whining.

The Living Room, 123 Bjune Drive SE, Unit 109, (206) 855-0959. BAINBRIDGE
