Today is a shoutout to The Daniel. ❤️
Lucille simply wouldn’t be what it is today without him.
For the last 3+ years, he’s been my work wife, my ride-or-die, and my friend in creating so much of what makes this place feel like home. Together we’ve thrown some of the best parties, built an incredible community, and created joy when we all needed it most. Lady Vibes with Robyn DJ sets, Moms Only Wine Bar nights, and decadent cheese boards for days… Daniel had his fingerprints all over it.
You all know and love him. He’s helped you pick out the perfect bottle, guided you through countless tastings, and always had time to chat—whether it was Survivor, The Traitors, cats, or whatever strong opinion happened to be on the menu that day. The book clubs (where, let’s be honest, drinking wine was the real focus) were thanks to him, too.
The mark he’s left on Lucille—and on all of our hearts—is something that will never fade. And may the iconic nail-painted bottle photos live on forever. 💅🍷
Daniel, we love you so much and couldn’t be more excited for your next chapter in Asheville, North Carolina. We know you’re going to do amazing things. And who knows… maybe there’s a Lucille 2 in your future. 😆❤️
This is Daniel’s last week with us, so stop by before Sunday to share one more laugh with one of the funniest, kindest, and most thoughtful people to ever walk through Lucille’s doors.
And while you’re here, remember Daniel’s favorite saying:
“Don’t clap. Just tip. My cats don’t eat for free.” ❤️🐈🍷
We’ll also be gathering on Sunday, July 12 to give Daniel the send-off he deserves. If you can’t make it in this week but would like to join us, send us a DM for the details. ❤️
