A San Antonio culinary power couple is months away from opening a new wine bar and restaurant on the city’s North Side.

Meadow Neighborho­od Eatery + Bar owners PJ and Lindsey Edwards plan to launch a new concept called Vintage Wine Bar & Specialty Foods in The Alley on Bitters this winter. The new project is intended to build on the success of Meadow, which is also located in The Alley on Bitters, and fill a gap for area residents.

“We love this area, and we’ve built a lot of regulars,” said PJ Edwards. “There aren’t a lot of wine bars on the North Side, and we wanted to do something that will fit our area.”

Lindsey Edwards has curated the bar’s wine list, which will include a mix of popular wines such as cabernet sauvignon from California and wines from smaller, less common European producers. All of the bottles will be available to enjoy on site or for retail purchase.

PJ Edwards said the food at

Vintage will have a Mediterran­ean flair with a French focus.

The offerings will include housemade pâtés, escargot, duck confit,

steak tartare and more. Charcuteri­e and cheese boards will be available for in-house or retail purchase.

Vintage also will serve as a market for fresh produce from area growers, locally sourced meats and imported items such as Italian olive oil and French sea salt. The intimate space is less than 1,500 square feet, Edwards said, and will be able to seat about 25 customers inside and another 20 people on a patio.

Both PJ and Lindsey Edwards have been part of San Antonio’s dining scene for years. PJ long served as a chef at eateries owned by the Jason Dady Restaurant Group, while Lindsey worked as general manager for several Jason Dady properties. The two opened Meadow in the former home of Dady’s Bin 555 and Tre Enoteca in 2018.
