Tandem opened in August of 2015, owners George Koenig and Anastasia Burkham took over the former retail wine and liquor shop, McKnight & Carlson, with a vision of taking the space to a new level. The couple redesigned the space with an industrial aesthetic and are integrating a tasting bar into the space open for the public to taste wine, beer and fine spirits and liquors, all of which are for purchase to take home. The tasting bar which opened in the fall of 2015, offers cheese, charcuterie and other small bites taking cues from European traditional wine bars, but highlighting local products, foremost our state's artisanal cheeses.
