The Board Room, 800 Sorella, is shooting to open between late July and early August. The new wine bar and gourmet charcuterie destination comes from married couple Carly and John Whitehurst who are residents of the Memorial area. The duo have brought in hospitality veteran Scott Sulma of May I Speak Hospitality as consultant. The wine cafe will have a Level II Sommelier who does double duty as the general manager. The support staff will also be well-versed in wine and pairings.

Local lovers of fine wine and light bites will soon have a new restaurant to check out in the booming CityCentre mixed-use development in west Houston.

Memorial residents Carly and John Whitehurst plan to open their charcuterie-forward concept, dubbed The Board Room, at 800 Sorella Court at the base of the Moran Hotel either later this month or in early August, according to a news release.
