TV Producers Coming To Grand Opening Of Newtown State Store

NEWTOWN, PA — Newtown's new state store will hold its grand opening Thursday, and two television producers will be on hand to celebrate.

According to information from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, Ken Warwick and Nigel Lythgoe will be at the grand opening celebration of the new Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection Store on State Street.

The pair created and produced some of the best-known competition shows on television, including “American Idol,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “America’s Got Talent," the PLCB said. The pair owns a 168-acre property near San Miguel, Calif., where they produce Fat Monk wines.

The event begins at 4 p.m. at the new store, which is located at 212 S. State Street, Newtown.

Warwick and Lythgoe will help cut the ribbon, then stick around for a meet and greet with fans who purchase Fat Monk wines, event organizers said. (Customers must present both a bottle of Fat Monk wine and a valid receipt indicating the purchase was made at the Newtown Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection store to participate in the meet-and-greet event.)

Tastings of Fat Monk wines will be held during the meet-and-greet for those 21 years of age and older, and light snacks will be available.
