This natural wine bar in Kingston, NY was opened in the summer of 2015. Co-owners Jamie and Tracy Kennard converted a former barber shop into the Brunette Wine Bar, and the charm of the place is what attracts guests. At Brunnette, “natural wine, beer, cider, cheese, meats, savory snacks, and a true love for pink prevail,” making it a cozy and chic spot for couples and other guests to enjoy drinks and snacks.
