Coming up on the one year mark since
opening Skywater Fine Wines, Neil Thompson joins us to talk about
that adventure which started with the extreme challenges of running
his Park Avenue Fine Wines in downtown Portland, before finally
hanging up the towel there and moving west to brighter
pastures.
He and his husband Hans opened two
businesses between them, including Skywater Tea House a few months
after the wine shop opened, to the delight of many local folks in
Hillsboro that appreciated their businesses in their
neighborhood. Neil tells us about the evolution of both
businesses, what they've learned, and what's working as a base for
their exciting expansion plans.
