Streetlevel: Olivino Part Deux Opens in Bed Stuy
Two years after opening her flagship location of Olivino Wines at 905 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, Katrine Pollari (along with her dog Olive) has launched a second location, this time on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford Stuyvesant. “The idea was to situate ourselves in proximity to businesses we admire close by on Lewis Avenue,…
Two years after opening her flagship location of Olivino Wines at 905 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, Katrine Pollari (along with her dog Olive) has launched a second location, this time on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford Stuyvesant. “The idea was to situate ourselves in proximity to businesses we admire close by on Lewis Avenue, and be well positioned between both the local Kingston/Throop C station and the express A Utica stop,” said Pollari. With the new buying power, Olivino plans to step up its offering of organic and sustainable vintages. The eastward move isn’t all business either—Pollari plans on finding an apartment near the new shop soon. Did anyone stop in this weekend?

Nice. Glad to hear she’s expanding. I used to live very close to the Fulton Street store, and loved it from the get-go. She has a knack for selecting a small, but well thought out inventory. One is all too easily dazzled in big wine shops. Her model is so comfortable. I miss the shop….
Hooray!
A cute wine shop right around the corner from my house! I wish the owner much success and look forward to shopping there!
I will be a regular customer! I am moving in two weeks from Boerum Hill to Bed Stuy. It is great to see the neighborhood getting the services it has been asking for!
Congrats to the owner on the second location! See you soon.
thanks, 3:08.
you know what isn’t so much a sign that gentrification is well under way??
when people have to try to convince us that it’s well under way.
hallelujah
As a confirmed alcoholic of anglo french origin I am overjoyed that I will no longer have to drive to park slope to buy my weekly supplies.
Now we need a good bakery — there are some nice efforts being made but sill no great bread. Some good cheese and some decent vegatables. More power to Olivino
I agree that this store will do well. There are tons of yuppies in the immediate area. Usually cafes are the first signs of gentrification, but wine shops are evidence that the process is well underway.

ditto 2:50. I will likely be a regular!
