Toni’s Wine Bar | Schenectady NY Editorial Photography
Walking into Toni’s Wine Bar felt like being welcomed into a friend’s home for the best glass of wine.
Leaning against the wall behind the bar is a sign that reads “Shit List: Mitch, Me.” And she told me that the neon sign was serendipitiously delivered just hours before opening. The walls are dark, and it has a speakeasy feel, with several different intimate nooks around the space for relaxing with friends.
Toni is a bright light and a force to be reckoned with. She opened in November, and has taken Schenectady’s night life to the next level. She opened up about how close-knit and supportive the community has been, and how she had several people come to help when the ice machine broke last week. I love a good story of entrepreneurs lifting each other up!
Thank you so much for inviting me into your space (and sharing your “breakfast wine” with me, Toni!
