nication” from which they stem, the floor-to-ceiling shelves
are filled with affordable bottles of wine as well as vintage
“artifacts,” including a rotary phone, Underwood typewriter,
Thomas Collector’s Edition Radio and stacks of books.
Its walls are adorned with black-and-white photographs,
including one Rutherford proudly pulls down of her grand-
father after whom the Royce was named. The shop’s mez-
zanine, which can accommodate 39, has a “loungier,” living
room feel. With arrangements of rich leather-bound chairs
and couches as well as a few bistro sets, it’s a suitable space
for more intimate gatherings than those we imagine happen-
ing around the bar below.
“Wine is an everyday essential and should be priced
accordingly,” Rutherford says. Save for one small, locked cabi-
net that houses the store’s most expensive “special occasion”
offerings — including a very exclusive bottle of Continuum
priced at $250 — everything
else retails between $8 and
$40.
Customers can take bottles
home or, for a nominal $10
corkage fee, stay and enjoy
them there. Rutherford’s
focus is on small-batch
wines made sustainably and
with integrity. Her goal is to
inspire people to make bet-
ter choices and to show that
it’s possible to do so without
compromising on quality.
She pulls out a Mindo chocolate bar that boasts com-
postable packaging, organic ingredients and sustainable prac-
tices, one of the only artisan chocolates made in Michigan.
It is available as a wine pairing along with an approachable
assortment of meats, cheeses and snacks.
The wines along the walls are stocked in a most innovative
and consumer-friendly manner. As opposed to an arrange-
ment by region or even variety, the shelves are ordered by
flavor, from full-bodied and dry to light-bodied and sweet.
This makes it easier for customers to return and find a wine
similar to another they enjoyed from a previous visit.
Pushing the service-industry envelope even further,
Rutherford pays her employees a fair, livable wage. Referring
to gratuity-based restaurants as a “broken model,” she
believes this enables and empowers employees to feel an
added sense of ownership.
Cash tips are accepted and, at the end of each month, half
get split evenly amongst the staff. The other half is given
to a charity of their choosing. In September, they donated
just over $1,500 to Detroit Black Community Food Security
Network.
On Sundays, the space hosts a weekly game night, or stop
in any Tuesday from 5:30-7 p.m. for a free wine tasting.
