In the News New additions at The SHOPS at Gainey Village:
Jerry Tingle and Chef Brian Feirstein, the valley’s talented chef/general manager duo, announce the opening of a vibrant new restaurant called Cask 63, American Eatery and Wine Bar (replacing Bloom). Comfortably contemporary space, eclectic American cuisine and a distinctive wine menu defines the much-anticipated new eatery. The story of how Cask 63 was named speaks to its wine bar pedigree as well as it being a true collaborative effort among two of the hottest restaurateurs in the Valley. Jerry Tingle is a name well known in the Valley as a master restaurateur and previously the general manager of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood restaurants and Wildfish Seafood Grille. Chef Brian Feirstein was the heralded Executive Chef for Eddie V’s and most recently The Capital Grille. “From the
beginning, we both shared the vision of this being an inviting and not intimidating wine bar – the kind of place we would want to hang out with family and friends, sip good wine and enjoy great food,” said Tingle. “It takes 31 ½ gallons of wine to fill a cask, which is a generous amount that invites sharing. So we multiplied that number by two – a toast to us, two business partners who share the same vision.” Arizona’s largest independent retailer with over 80 brands of men’s and women’s designer jeans, tops and casual wear has relocated here. According to owner Steven Koeppel, “It was time for a new home for Scottsdale Jean Company, after more than six years at our current location. I searched everywhere for a prominent retail center that had the appropriate upscale image and tenants, convenient to both our existing and new clientele. As a destination retail
establishment, our customers seek us out for our unbeatable selection and unparalleled customer service, featuring experts trained in finding the right size and style for any body type.” The new 8,000 sq. ft. store features an upscale design, including the entire line of Kiehl’s skin, hair and body care products, a full sunglass shop, a customer lounge area and a children’s playroom. Another mainstay at The SHOPS, Village Tavern expanded and upgraded its popular bar area by adding 74 seats on a new outdoor patio area featuring a fire pit, community table and sliding glass door to take advantage of Scottsdale’s balmy temperatures and scenery. According to Paul Apana, general manager, “As our business thrives, the front patio expansion allows us to give back to our loyal patrons that continue to make Village Tavern a hub for entertaining.”
