Excerpt:
M.J. What inspired you to open Vin Room?
P.F. My brother Ken and I actually made the decision over a fine bottle of wine in Houston, Texas. The space had been Mission Cycle for 79 years and it was such a fixture in the neighbourhood that I can't bear to tear down the cycle sign. The previous owner was planning to open a café, but I was luckily able to convince him that the Vin Room would be a better fit. I have always had a passion for food and wine and I believe that wine is an investment in precious moments; you are investing time with your friends and family.
