RED HOOK—To recap today's news about the death of beloved local wine shop LeNell's: The store has not yet closed, but its extended lease runs out in February.

In the meantime, we present the sign on LeNell's doors this morning, above, which probably sparked some of this panic in the first place. [Racked Inbox; Eater]
