Taste Cellar & Pantry recently celebrated its opening inside the vacant storefront that was previously occupied by the Fort Thomas Drug Center.
Challis and Lauren Hodge hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Taste Cellar & Pantry, their latest business venture, with officials from the City of Fort Thomas on Dec. 5. The Hodges are well known locally for their restaurants, including Grassroots & Vine and CONSERVA, which is temporarily closed at the moment.
Taste Cellar & Pantry features a wide selection of products, including wines, spirits, craft beers, and a carefully curated collection of cheeses, charcuterie, pantry essentials, and gifts. The store is located at 16 N. Fort Thomas Ave.
The shop is generally open Wednesday through Saturday, operating from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. However, its schedule has been updated for the season, now operating from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. during winter. Find out more at tastecellarandpantry.com.
