WINE, SPIRITS AND SOCIALIZING SIPSTIRS
What started out as Nicholas Roberts, a beloved local wine shop 27 years ago, has evolved into THE “neighborhood shop.” New owner, David Wagner, is excited to bring a new vision to this beautiful gem, now renamed SIPSTIRS. He is focused on being an integral part of this wonderful community. SIPSTIRS offers sampling of the best of their collection, pairings, classes on making cocktails and much more — a great way for socializing and trying something new.

David brings more than 14 years of experience, serves on the board of Darien Chamber of Commerce and partners with many local businesses to foster a close-knit community.

SCRATCH-MADE AND SEASONAL FOODS Roost
Roost opened its doors earlier this year and has quickly become a fixture in the local Darien food scene. From the creators of Ada’s Kitchen + Coffee in Greenwich, Roost is a chef-driven, quick-service eatery, located at 1950 Post Road. When looking to expand their reach beyond Greenwich, owners Mike and Krista Pietrafeso felt their concept of scratch-made food from fresh and local ingredients would be a great fit for the local community. Having a young family of their own, Mike and Krista understand the importance of having
healthy and delicious food available in a fast and convenient way. Roost offers something for everyone, including tasty smoothies, sandwiches and salads and incredible coffee and teas. Both born and raised in Greenwich, Mike and Krista started dating in their senior year at Greenwich High School and will be married 11 years in October. 1950 POST ROAD • DARIEN 203.309.5549 • ROOSTDARIEN.COM
