Another wine shop has been uncorked in St. Petersburg.

Savoir on Central opened last Friday at 2531 Central Ave., taking over the spot previously occupied by THC drink shop Rasta Canna.

Along with a la carte bottles and glasses, the wine club offers tastings, classes, monthly memberships.

Sharon Mahoneyโ€”nominated for 2025 Best of the Bay for Best Sommelierโ€”pours her knowledge and experience running Events By the Glass into Savoir, co-owned by entrepreneur Christina Noordstar.

Savoir is the newest in a handful of St. Pete bottle shops, including Lolita’s Wine Market, Adult Therapy, CellarMasters, Bin 6 South, Hawthorne Bottle Shoppe and Book + Bottle. SmallBar is expected to open Spitz wine shop soon.

Mahoney runs the club’s wine course each Wednesday, teaching members about specific regions through tasting five different wines. She and two other in-house sommeliers also lead blind tastings, Friday Flight Nights and themed Sunday Supper Club dinners.

The shop also has an espresso bar with Kahwa Coffee and pastries.

Savoir’s first Sunday Supper Club is Sept. 7, including five Italian wines paired with a meal by chef Joshua Breen.
