The space was small, but the plan was not, when John and Elizabeth Bornoty opened The Big Salad in Grosse Pointe Woods in 2008. What the couple envisioned was to market the salad in a new way by making it a meal rather than a beginner or a side dish with a classed-up salad bar chock-full-of-toppings. It would be the the foundation a company that would spread across metro Detroit, Michigan and beyond. Four years later, their little postage stamp store on Mack Avenue, a calming mix of greens and yellows around a smorgasbord of colorful salad toppings has grown to three larger locations.

The Wine Garden is hosting a wine tasting today for the release of Beaujolais Nouveau wine.
Turkey fans may look forward to the fourth Thursday in November for Thanksgiving, but for wine aficionados Nouveau Day is their holiday. The third Thursday in November is the first day consumers can try Beaujolais Nouveau, a wine which is made from the first harvest of grapes from the Beaujolais region of Burgundy, France. The wine only ferments for a few weeks before it is shipped around the world, and into stores in the Grosse Pointes including The Village Wine Shop and Merchant's Fine Wine. To mark the occasion The Wine Garden has planned a special tasting event for 2012 vintage, and other French wines, paired with a freshly cooked turkey.
