After sitting vacant for a year, the Office Max space right off I-5 will become an entirely different kind of superstore: the largest wine store in the Northwest.

The Puget Sound Business Journal reported last week that David LeClaire — sommelier, event producer and all-around wine guy (his URL is vinolover.com) — will open the 23,000-square-foot Wine World in the fall.

According to the Journal, Wine World will be much more than a wine store. It will include “a pair of 30-foot counters for wine tastings, an espresso bar and a 6,000-square-foot meeting room for hosting private and corporate events that includes a demonstration kitchen.”

LeClaire plans to carry 4000 items, including Northwest and international wines, wine accessories and glasses, chocolates, charcuterie and cheeses, says the Journal. If you’re trying to picture 4000 bottles of wine, the large wine store Esquin in SoDo carries that number of bottles on its sales floor.
