News from chef/restaurateur Terry Laybourne’s 21 Hospitality Group – the popular Italian kitchen Caffe Vivo has closed and will be replaced any day now with a relaxed wine bar called St Vincent. The change, says Laybourne, reflects a shift in dining and drinking after 10 award-winning years for Vivo. “We’ve enjoyed an explosion in craft beers and now there’s a big shift within the wine sector with new craft wines coming from emerging small vineyards,” says Laybourne, who will be serving up those new craft wines alongside small plates, cocktails, craft beer, vermouths and liqueurs.
