Hornell’s newest business is ready to uncork a good time, and showcase some of the region's best wine, beer and ciders in the process.The Brute is a Finger Lakes-focused wine bar located at 99 Main Street.

After three years in business, Wild Brute Winery is stepping outside the bounds of its farm-winery in Arkport.

“We wanted to increase our exposure, and do some more stuff in our community, and coming downtown was huge," said owner Justin Recktenwald. "There’s a rise in crafts producers in the area, and what better way to showcase what I’m doing and what they’re doing than to have the best selection in New York State under one roof.”

The Brute is offering 20 wines by the glass, an additional 20 wines by the bottle, 30 beers, and five ciders.
