As of April 25, Cork & Bottle and the adjoining bar Clever in the American Can will be no more, erm, kind of. Todd A. Price reports that a new owner, Leora Madden, is changing the wine shop/bar into The Pearl Wine Co., which will have an emphasis on California wines, and The Pearl, which will have a 1940's look and a reasonable wine menu. A grand opening is set for April 25 at 5 p.m. with freebies. [NOLA.com]
