Wine Thyme, a gourmet food and wine grocery at 116th and Olio Road has been flying a "coming soon" banner for months, though it seems 'soon' is at risk of never coming. According to managing partner Jonathan Sadler, efforts to secure a liquor license were thwarted last December when a team of big-box liquor stores who hired a law firm and filed a motion to deny the license, citing a quota issue. The disagreement lies in whether or not Wine Thyme aims to be primarily a liquor store or a grocery store; Sadler says they plan to carry artisanal items, such as products from Trader's Point, as well as cutlery and pots and pans, in addition to wine, and do not see themselves as direct competitors of area liquor purveyors. Another hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. March 12 at the City-County building. "A store like ours would be great for Fishers," says Sadler. "We should be celebrated, not beaten down."
