It’s kind of puzzling how there’s news of three new breweries starting up in the next few months, and then the Bulletin reports today that WineStyles is closing as of October 15th.

The owners of Bend’s WineStyles, which offered wine tastings and sold bottled wines, are closing the store Oct. 15 because the recession slowed business. Jerry and Peggy West moved the store to a small building on Northwest Galveston Avenue during the summer from a location near Central Oregon Community College in hopes of boosting sales.

It’s really too bad, they had a nice space over there on Galveston.
