PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) -- The city of Petersburg welcomed a new business into the downtown business portion of the city on Sunday, Aug. 31.
1949 WineHouse & More is Petersburg's newest wine lounge, and according to the city, owner Wilma Lewis-Marshall said she wanted a wine lounge that reflected her passion for wine, food, and family.

"His portrait graces the wall, and his spirit and love live on in the details, the creation, and the very heart of the wine experience she will be sharing with her guests in this space," according to Petersburg.
1949 WineHouse & More will offer customers the following:
- Southern imported dishes paired with both local and imported wines
- Wine slushies and ice-cream on "Slushie Sundays," which will be held once a month
- "A stylish lounge for guests 21 and up" with dressy casual wear encouraged
