Triciann and Jeff Botta of Botta Di Vino has just been handed their licence when Ron and Mary Kyle, owners of the nearby Dry Dock, rushed into the hearing and convinced commissioners to reconsider, over a claim on the Botta Di Vino website that would have broken licensing rules.
The couples have been scrapping since last year, when they fought to see who would open up first.
Triciann Botta from Botta Di Vino said:
“Honestly, I really don’t have anything to day.
“I wish them the best of success, now that the process is over for them, I know how difficult it can be.”
“It’s discouraging. We get up to speak, they said approved, approved, approved across the board, we turn to leave and Mary and Ron Kyle, the opposition, come running in waving a piece of paper they’d printed from our website.
“30 seconds more, we should have been out of there.
“I have nothing bad to say about them, these people were talking to us in the neighborhood, she would see me in the street, she would stop and say “hello.”
“I don’t know what’s behind it, they just sort of turned on the heat on the meanness, they’ve been really awful to us.
“If they do well, we do well, and the neighborhood goes up.”
Mary Kyle from Dry Dock said:
