After announcing, in early August, their plans to sell Capitol Hill vino bar Poco Wine Room, owners Peter Moore and Bart Reynolds clarified in a newsletter this weekend that the bar will not close simply because it’s on the market.

And in fact, Poco has a new chef. Zephyr Paquette, who has cooked at Cafe Flora, Dandelion, and Elliott Bay Cafe, will replace Ally Rael in the kitchen.

So, who is buying? “We’re talking with some great potential buyers, and we’re expecting to have some great news for you later this year,” write Moore and Reynolds.
