Readers’ Choice 2010 Best Wine Shop
While Dan Matuszek traveled the country working for E & J Gallo, he was contemplating the wine business he wanted to create at home in Omaha. “I started thinking about it 15 years ago,” Matuszek says. “I never found the format that I wanted, so I came up with my own.” Matuszek opened Brix in Village Pointe in January, and it’s been worth the wait.

Readers’ Choice 2010 Best Music Store
Homer’s is an Omaha music institution.

As one of two original Old Market businesses founded in 1971 (the other is The French Café), the old market store recently moved a...
