The bar, run by husband and wife team Maria and Jay Toupin, will offer wines from around the world, with a focus on the Northwestern Bordeaux-style wines as found in Seattle.

“That’s where we’re both from,” said Jay when he spoke to What Now Phoenix on Tuesday.

Jay, a 30-year Corporate America businessman, and Maria, who works in the dental industry, are taking a big leap plunging into the intricate world of wine.

“My wife and I have both worked for wineries, but not as a main occupation. We just thought the time was right to open up a wine bar in Arizona.”

As to what that will offer, he says, “If you imagine going to a specific winery in Napa and you get that type of ambiance? We’re basically going to be a winery on steroids.”

What he means by that is including events to surround the culture of the worldly wines L’Entrata will sell. They intend to bring in certain winemakers and have winemaker dinners with food pairings and how to make chocolate and properly pair that with a wine, among others.

“We’re trying to provide the community with this sense of wine being the center of life. Everything else is just making memories.”

As to the opening, the Toupins are hoping to do a soft opening around Labor Day, but it’s all up to the status of the construction. Apart from that, they aim for a grand opening around the mid to end of October.
