The space became available last summer when Kings County Wines closed up shop and moved into its current location — the former home of Brooklyn Industries — on Cortelyou and Marlborough roads.
Lesser and business partner Adam Robertson bought the wine store — which was formerly named T.B. Ackerson Wine Merchants — from Jane Rennert in 2015, after attempts to secure a liquor license for 1414 Cortelyou Road failed, Bklyner reported at the time.

Should Lesser's and Richey's plans gain approval from local officials, it will join a slew of local watering holes on the Cortelyou Road strip that include Sycamore, Manchego, The Castello Plan, Bar Chord and Highbury Pub.
