Summary

Council approved a new limited beer-and-wine license for Piccolino (Graze on Main proprietor Elise Pear) on a granted-but-not-issued basis for one year, contingent on remaining local and state approvals.

The council granted a provisional Class BBL license to Piccolino at 37 Main Street on Jan. 12, approving the application 'granted but not issued' for one year subject to meeting required building, fire, DOT and Department of Health approvals and receiving a final retail sales tax permit. The town clerk walked the council through the pending items; Elise Pear described her business model and said the LLC structure had a clear certificate of good standing in the state.

Pear told the council she started Graze on Main in 2020 and had grown the business into catering and retail provisions; she explained wine tastings and guided pairings would be a community focus. The council approved the motion by voice vote 5–0 with the license to be issued only after the clerk verifies all legal requirements are satisfied.
