Deep Roots Wine Market & Tasting Room, based in Roswell, is expanding to a new location in downtown Woodstock. The new location is expected to open late this summer and will feature a larger bar, intimate seating options, and private event spaces. Deep Roots' Woodstock location will sell domestic wines and use Napa Technology WineStation dispensing machines for sampling. Customers will be able to sample from 40 bottles, and the retailer will also have a selection of domestic sparkling wines poured by the glass, and craft beer options. The Woodstock location will also serve wine pairing dishes such as tapas, flatbreads, cheese, charcuterie, and desserts. The owner hopes to create a Woodstock Wine Club, similar to their Roswell club, and host wine tasting and educational events for the Woodstock community.
Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services are conducting annual fire hydrant inspections throughout the county, which may cause temporary discoloration of tap water due to sediment being disturbed in the water mains. This does not pose a health risk, and residents are advised to turn on their cold water and run it for a few minutes until the water clears up. If the problem persists for over 10 minutes, residents should contact their water provider for guidance. The fire hydrants are required to have a three-foot clear space around the circumference, and for any questions about fire hydrant access, contact the Cherokee County Fire Marshal’s office.
The Peace, Love and Recycle community event will take place at the Public Works building on 2525 Ridge Road in Canton from 7 a.m. to noon today. Canton city residents can bring electronics, tires, paint, paper and other difficult-to-recycle materials. Tube televisions can be recycled for $25, and participants are limited to 10 gallons of oil-based and latex paint and eight tires per vehicle. There is no limit to paper shredding. Containers should be disposable, and wheels must be removed from tires.
