\"\"<\/a>LANCASTER \u2013 Pour d\u2019Vino, the first wine bar in the Antelope Valley, held its grand opening Thursday.<\/p>\n

The new restaurant, which is located on The Blvd, across the street from the new Laemmle Cinema, will provide an intimate setting for patrons to enjoy a wide selection of wines, as well as a gourmet lunch and dinner menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to expose what we have going on here to the whole Antelope Valley,\u201d said owner Jody Cherbonneaux. \u201cWe\u2019re a bona fide restaurant open for lunch and dinner with a fabulous menu, which is designed to pair with the more than one hundred wines that we have here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pour d\u2019Vino is one of 10 businesses in downtown Lancaster to benefit from the City\u2019s Commercial Property Improvement (CPI) Program, enacted by the City Council in March 2011.<\/p>\n

The CPI program funds assisted in the remodeling of the building which is now home to Pour d\u2019Vino.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey received $40,000 and there was a matching contribution requirement,\u201d said Redevelopment Assistant Chenin Dow. \u201cThere\u2019s also an operational covenant, which includes continuing to operate for five years and maintaining the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pour d\u2019Vino features Tuscany-inspired d\u00e9cor, patio seating with views of The BLVD, and seating on a rooftop balcony, complete with an outdoor fireplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely impressed with how Jody tackled this project and made the most of the CPI program funds,\u201d said City Manager Mark Bozigian. \u201cShe put her heart into transforming this space into a stylish, classy venue, creating a restaurant that exudes character and captures the essence of The BLVD. It\u2019s a charming setting whether you\u2019re coming for wine tasting or just looking to enjoy a meal with friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pour d\u2019Vino offers nearly 40 different wines by glass and more than 100 varieties of wine by bottle. The restaurant will also host a wine club, wine tasting classes, monthly guest vintners and winemakers, as well as live entertainment. Cuisine to be featured includes specialty pastas, paninis, imported meats and cheeses, and gourmet salads.<\/p>\n

\u201cPour d\u2019Vino is a perfect addition to downtown Lancaster,\u201d said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. \u201cThe first wine bar in the Antelope Valley, Pour d\u2019Vino brings a unique flavor of its own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pour d\u2019Vino is located at 741 W. Lancaster BLVD (across from the new Laemmle Cinema). It\u2019s open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:30 a.m.\u201410 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and open until midnight Friday\u2014Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will also base our schedule around the LPAC [Lancaster Performing Arts Center] schedule,\u201d said Cherbonneaux. \u201cIf there is something going on we want to stay open for that crowd as well so they have a place to go at the end of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
