Christie's plans to open a wine store in Rockefeller Center following new legislation that allows the company to bypass a rule enforced by the New York State Liquor Authority. This rule previously resulted in a $500,000 fine for Eataly's wine shop in Chelsea in 2014, which led to a six-month shutdown for the establishment owned by celebrity chef Mario Batali and business partners Joe and Lydia Bastianich.
