Reps for Sherry-Lehmann, the embattled, 90-year-old high-end wine store, told my colleague Lisa Fickenscher last week that they were “excited” they might reopen the shuttered shop on Tuesday.

She earlier revealed that Sherry-Lehmann was delinquent on taxes, owed multiple creditors and couldn’t fill its shelves.

The present owners did renew the license on March 22.
But when or if the place might be back is anyone’s guess.
