Prosecco will be offered on tap in all three spaces, he said.

Wine will be available at Madison Tap until Jardin opens. But, after that, the tap room will strictly serve beer. Those who want cocktails can go to Black Locust or Jardin.

Meanwhile, Brian Haltinner, who ran Barolo and owns Maduro, will continue to curate the Robinia wine list. "Everything that Brian had to offer the world will still be available, but just through Jardin," Reske said.

Reske and Haltinner are still principals in the Robinia leadership group and will run Jardin. They've added Armando Magaña, a barista at Black Locust Cafe. Brandon Brieske, whom Reske brought in last year to help run the cafe, has bowed out.

Black Locust is doing fine, Reske said, but cannot carry the whole group on its own. Many people assumed it closed when Julep and Barolo did.

Reske emphasized that the new establishments will honor gift certificates from the former ones.

He already has events and parties booked for Robinia, but there were many months where it was hard to schedule anything. He didn't quite know what he was offering the people he was talking to, Reske said.
