Give Ladie Chablis a boost by helping fund new Capitol Hill shop La Cha-Bliss Wines

Seattle, WALocal News

Seattle's vibrant drag community is gaining a new retail addition with the planned opening of La Cha-Bliss Wines, spearheaded by local drag performer Ladie Chablis. This boutique wine shop aims to offer an eclectic range of wines from regions including Washington, Oregon, California, France, Italy, and Germany, catering to a diverse clientele. Chablis has expressed enthusiasm about this venture, marking his first foray into retail, while also acknowledging the financial hurdles he faces. To meet the $30,000 goal for launch inventory, he is prepared to invest $10,000 from his personal savings. Located on the busy 1400-block of 12th Ave, the shop is expected to attract significant foot traffic, bolstering its chances for success.

Chablis's strong ties to the Capitol Hill community, through his work with organizations like GenPride and the YMCA, further enhance his credibility as a local entrepreneur. The community is encouraged to support the fundraising efforts, ensuring the vision for La Cha-Bliss Wines becomes a reality. This endeavor not only represents a new business but also highlights the spirit of community support and local entrepreneurship in Seattle.
