Reds Wine Bar, one of Kent Station’s newest businesses, had a grand opening celebration Feb. 4 and 5.
The new wine bar is located across from the Sound Transit parking garage. Owned by husband and wife team Nick and Angela Xavier of Kent, Reds features a selection of regional wines along with artisan-crafted beers.
In addition to wine and beer, Reds offers a tapas-style menu of fresh bread, cheese, soup, salad, paninis, and appetizers with a focus on healthy ingredients and wine pairings. Food and wine by the bottle may be ordered to-go.
“Reds Wine Bar is a great addition to Kent Station,” said John Hinds, Kent Station general manager. “The Kent community desired a casual, inviting, neighborhood wine bar and we are delighted to have another locally-owned and operated tenant.”
Previously, the Xaviers worked in the mortgage industry. However, last year after Angela Xavier’s father was diagnosed with cancer, the news catalyzed the couple to make their retirement dream of owning their own business a reality. Their goal was to own a community-oriented business that would be inviting and welcoming to their friends and family. Their dream evolved into Reds Wine Bar which opened with a “soft launch” Dec. 30, followed by their official launch New Year’s Eve.
“We enjoy wine but we aren’t wine experts,” Angela Xavier explained. “We know what we like and we invite our customers to share their love and taste of wine with us. We want to have a really fun experience and build relationships in our community.”
Reds Wine Bar (321 Ramsay Way) is open seven days a week: Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.; and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 8 pm. The dining area is family-friendly.
