Chan's Wine World at Watercolor

[Matt J]

Alli, this is so funn! Can't wait to try it. We will be there.

That being said, the name of the place isn't very upscale, It sounds like it belongs at an outlet mall or at an exit on I-85. Could the owners change the name to its French or Italian or even Chinese ("Chan") equivalent?

I can assure that the name Chan's and Wine are synonymous with excellence. In fact if you find yourself in Destin just ask someone where Chan's is, guaranteed they're not directing you to a place with cardboard boxes of rice. ;-)

I don't doubt that.

Can't wait to visit. We got out of the car and peeked in a few weeks ago. It's big! And I'm sure that Allifunn's artistry with food will make it ridonkulously awesome!

Thanks for keeping us up to date Alison. The wine store/bar/restaurant is going to have us all coming and going for the selections of wines, cheeses, foods to grab and go or sit down and enjoy - and all in a fantastic atmosphere - in one of the very best locations on 30A.

That space has always had great potential. The central location on 30A, in a large space, on a corner with plenty of outdoor space - is finally becoming what it should have been all along. Congratulations to Chans Wine World for having the vision and making it happen.

You will not recognize the place. You will be amazed.

I can't wait to check it out in April. Thanks for the update!

How about leaving off the "World"? To me, "Chan's Wine" sounds more Watercolorish than "Chan's Wine World."

Of course, I know that I will be flagellated for suggesting this.:roll:

I have my own ideas too but its not a real issue so why make it one? okay, my idea is this: never mind I'm not saying. almost did though. It is SO hard to just stay silent and mind our manners all the time! I get it BR.

But, I think the brand is key here and Chan's is definitely branded. We won't be saying "Hey let's go to Chans' Wine World", anyway. We'll say, Hey let's go see Alison, or let's go to The Wine Bar, or I need to go to The Wine Shop in WaterColor... Or, hey, let's go to Chan's Wine Shop and then stop by Chan's Wine Bar... really - there are 3 different things that a name must cover: Chan's wine shop (biggest), wine bar and restaurant.

Chan's Wine World keeps it kind of generic while keeping to its brand. Besides, its going to be such a great place you won't give it a second thought.
