’New Canaan Wine Merchants’ on Pine Street Changing Hands

State officials on Friday issued a provisional Package Store Liquor Permit to a Wilton man who is taking over a wine shop on Pine Street. The applicant for a permit at New Canaan Wine Merchants is Robert Hall, officials at the state Department of Consumer Protection’s Liquor Control Division confirmed. 

Hall’s business, H.A.R.T.S. Inc., is registered at a residential address in Wilton, according to records on file with the Connecticut Secretary of the State. He could not be reached for comment. The shop at 36 Pine St. has been owned and operated for about 10 years by Jeff Barbour.
